Aug 2024: GR130, Apr 25: Camino Primitivo?
My wife and I are planning to buy a house in the north-west of Spain for our retirement. Today, while scrolling through the ads, I noticed this: https://www.idealista.com/inmueble/106560131/ which, although not stated in the title, looked like an albergue with a small restaurant.

I have no intention of buying an albergue or restaurant, but I was surprised by the price, the exterior look and the location.

Or... better: we WOULD "theoretically" like to buy an albergue, but we have no experience in the hospitality - or other - business and it would be too risky and demanding for us. However, I thought someone else in this community might be looking for something similar and so It would be nice to help them. I was also surprised by the "Japanese cubicles" they installed inside.

Please note that I have nothing to do with the seller or this business. I just found it by chance. So don't ask me any questions... 🙏

interestingly, my wife suspected the owner was Italian (like us) because she found a reference to "Gnocchi alla Sorrentina", something pretty unusual outside Italy.

I have to say the menu and the food pictures look good from our national perspective... :cool:

I’ve just bought in Galicia and I’ll give you one piece of advice. The price listed is generally quite a bit higher than what they expect. Go in at a price you think is a steal and it’s very likely you’ll both be happy. Also, if you go through an estate agent be prepared for higher than usual commissions.
