"En el Camino" hostel, Boadilla

This family-run hostel has a wonderful garden area to relax in. Dinner and breakfast are provided in a small dining room, lined with paintings apparently done by one of the family. The welcome I received from the family was warm and hospitable. There was some inner goodness about these people that was very restorative after my long walk this day.

At dinner, a lovely young German woman taught us a game involving crossing hands with your neighbour and tapping one hand on the table. One tap meant the next person tapped their hand and so on around the table, faster and faster. Two taps meant the direction reversed. Hard to describe, but I am sure German readers will recognise the game at once!

At breakfast, we had toasted bread as well as the usual condiments, plus a cup of café con leche the size of a dessert plate.
