Pilgrim Insight
Pilgrims frequently praise the warm hospitality and multicultural experience:
“Albergue Orión in Castrojeriz … run by a kind, welcoming proprietor, Daniel Perez, and his equally lovely employee Mussafah … served a Korean Bulgogi bowl for dinner … our clean, well‑kept room … only €55 … dorm beds €15.”

The mix of private bathrooms, good food options, and reliable amenities makes Orión a standout in Castrojeriz—especially appreciated after long days on the Meseta.
