La visión del peregrino

Beilari is often described as a warm, intimate base when starting the Camino. Pilgrims love the atmosphere: small group size, hospitality, and the shared meals around the table. The rooms are peaceful, and staying here feels more like being invited into a friend’s home than just lodging. Many mention how calming the garden and terraces are, especially after the final push to Saint-Jean. On the flip side, some say that shared bathrooms and communal living mean less privacy, and that 45 € is on the steeper side compared to more basic municipal albergues. That said, for what you pay, you get kindness, comfort, and a sense of rest — it’s a favorite for those who want the Camino start with heart and connection.
