If you want to volunteer as a hospitalera on the Camino, you might find these threads tagged with the subject "volunteers/hospitaleros" interesting.

How much?

From their website: 250.000 €.

This was the former albergue of our member @LTfit , which she opened/took over on March 12, 2019, the same day Europe went into Covid lockdown... She eventually had to sell it, but the new owner (I presume) will now sell it.

It is a lovely albergue.

Maybe they raised the price once I asked how much...

Here's the thing... If I'm walking from Leon I either go to Hospital de Orbigo or Mazarife. From there it's either Astorga or Rabanal. Villares de Orbigo is best for coffee.

Merel and Martin have made some lovely additions to the albergue since taking it over. Good luck with the sale.

Besides the albergue, there is also a separate living section for the owners/hospitaleros including a living area, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom although most of your time is spent in the albergue!
