A Surfer Hostel


 I am the last bed in this row, bottom bunk. My friend Sarah is across the way. This is a hostel right on the beach, but it was Sunday night so a lot of the weekend surfing crowd was gone. We had the whole dormitory to ourselves. This is how an old-time albergue looked.  Some of the old church and municipal albergues still look like this, but many now have the individual, built-in-the-wall ship’s berths and we each have shelves with a reading light and charging station.

We were right on the beach. There is a restaurant downstairs and loads of tables and umbrellas out on the grass out front. Here’s my view from beside my bed. That’s the bar on the left.

We paid 33€ for the bad, dinner and breakfast this morning. Today I am walking to Villaviciosa, which is a nice town even if it doesn’t sound like it.
