Our dream has come true! From October 1st 2024 we will be running the El Texu hostel on the Camino Primitivo! This hostel is located in La Espina, a village between Salas and Tineo, 40 minutes drive from Oviedo and Asturias airport. Feel at home and be pampered after a day of walking! For the real pilgrim feeling, you have come to the right place!
"You must stay here. Unquestionably, this home has been my favourite albergue during the first 400 kms of my camino along the French Way, Salvador & Primativo. Charming hosts who make you feel part of the family. So hospitable! Great curry for dinner, and varied breakfast. Washing machine & dryer. Clean & comfortable. 3 of us were even able to do yoga in their bohemian style studio-attic." Andy Evans.
EL TEXU HOSTEL
Welcome to Albergue El Texu, named after the sacred Yew tree.
Albergue El Texu is an inn on the Camino Primitivo. It is located in the green mountainous area of Asturias, also called the New Zealand of Northern Spain. This region is becoming increasingly popular with walkers, cyclists and hikers.
We are in La Espina, a village between Salas and Tineo, the 3rd stage from Oviedo of the Camino Primitivo.
In addition to the Camino Primitivo, several hiking and mountain bike trails run through our region. Our hostel is located 27 km from the beautiful 'Route de Hospitales'.
Our hostel consists of 2 mixed dormitories of 6 persons each and 1 private room for 1 or 2 persons and a family room for 4 persons. There are 18 beds including warm blankets and towels. The 3 bathrooms and toilets are shared. Washing machine and dryer are also available.
You can make a reservation with us by telephone or email.
TOGETHER AT THE TABLE
It is important to us that you feel at home in our hostel, then our mission is accomplished. You are also at our home, a guest in our house. We offer a place where people connect with each other by sharing. Having real conversations with each other at the table and with different nationalities to enrich each other.
When you arrive with us, you don't have to go anywhere else. When you arrive, a nice cold beer with tapas or coffee with Dutch apple pie will be waiting for you. Every evening we serve a delicious pilgrim meal and in the morning a power breakfast. We cook a nutritious meal such as Thai curry or Italian pasta with of course a bottle of wine. The real pilgrim feeling; an experience never to forget!
Our cozy living room offers plenty of space to read a book, make music or play a game together.
"A great hospitality. Gepke and Thijs do everything to make you feel at home. They have decorated the living room nicely for drinks and snacks. Extensive dinner and breakfast. They also did some laundry for me. Great Albergue, surpasses everything I have seen so far." Paul van der Steen.
suitable LOCATION for groups
Albergue El Texu is an ideal place for groups. We can accommodate 18 to 20 people. The entire hostel can be rented and it is possible to bring your own food or we can cook for you. Everything can be arranged in consultation.
