The albergue in Fuenterobles has a highly variable reputation regarding cleanliness, mouse droppings, cold water and eccentric hospitaleros. Well so far I have had no problems. The building is granite and wood and very traditional for the area. The sleeping accomodation is cleanish and I have had a hot shower. There is a wood burner in the dorm which I would like to light this evening as it will definitely be cold. I think it is just a rural area and the standards reflect this.The local bar where I am writing this has a bacon slicer on the end of the bar and, by contrast, a 40" plasma TV at the other. It is also only cleanish. The people however, are friendly and trying their best!
