Albergue Las Herrerias

We are a couple living in the north-west of Spain, near Galicia, along Saint James Way (a world-famous, 750-kilometre pilgrimage route also known as the Camino de Santiago). We live in a pretty valley with a small river passing through. Our town has 20 inhabitants, but it is full of pilgrims and tourists during the summer months. It's quite an alternative and interesting area.
Our hostel is small, clean, and rustic, with bunk beds, a garden with hammocks and fountain, a large living space and a big vegetable garden near the river. It's a paradise!
We love nature and animals, so we follow natural principles in all we do, striving to contribute to a clean and sustainable environment.
We are vegetarian, so we serve vegetarian food at home, mostly from our garden in summer season.
We highly appreciate some knowledge in cooking.

We are a very easy going couple, and we are used to being around volunteers or friends at home. We are looking for someone with initiative, motivated and responsible who enjoys learning and meeting people. Volunteers should be sociable, flexible, independent, and clean. We appreciate some experiences in cleaning or in youth hostels.
You will have a lot of time by your own.

Well, being the second time I do this volunteering, I can again say that I leave with a full heart; Miriam and all the people who live there are wonderful.
The space is remarkable. Living by the river, the animals and the multicolored flowers… at the same time 100% comfort. The food is always abundant.
I 100% recommend this volunteering.

Amazing experience at Albergue Miriam My time volunteering at Albergue Miriam was absolutely wonderful. I felt truly welcomed, safe, and at home from the very beginning. The atmosphere is calm, loving, and filled with kind-hearted people who made this experience unforgettable. I connected deeply with the place and the people, so much so that I decided to extend my stay for another month. If you're looking for peace, meaningful connections, and a beautiful environment to grow and give back, I can't recommend this place enough. Thank you Miriam and all the others <3

Una experiencia increíble para mi primer voluntariado. Miriam tiene un corazón enorme, siempre con una sonrisa y una solución ante cualquier problema. Ella y Danilo te incluyen en sus planes, haciendo todo lo posible para que te sientas parte de una familia. Las tareas son variadas y flexibles, y Miriam confía en ti desde el principio. Me voy siendo mejor persona gracias a valores como la hospitalidad, la empatía o la confianza. También contento tras comprobar que hay lugares que anteponen la hospitalidad al negocio. Conectarás con la naturaleza, con gente local y de todo el mundo. Gracias :)
