«My friend and I stayed here while walking the Camino Portugues. Firstly, I'll try and be objective in my review before thanking them for an exceptionally kind act. The hostel is clean, modern and well laid out. We slept in the mixed bed dormitory, I think they also had 4-bed dorms as well. A locker was provided for each bunk, big enough for my 50 litre backpack, so that made life simpler. Breakfast was delightful and served by a lovely, friendly lady. I've stayed in many hostels and albergues and this was one of the best.
Shortly after we arrived, my friend and I went for a meal, did a little shopping and began to walk back to the hostel. It was then that she discovered that her purse was missing, containing her passport, credit cards, cash and boarding passes for her return flights. We returned to the hostel and asked the young lady on reception where the police station is and explained our plight. She then phoned the owner of the hostel and explained to her what had happened. The owner arrived by car, bringing with her a young man because his English was better than hers. She then proceeded to take us by car, to re-trace our route, calling into the restaurant where we'd eaten and shops that we'd visited to see if the purse had been found, but it had not. So she then ran us to the police station and explained to them, and my friend began to fill in the form required to hand into the embassy in order to get a temporary passport.
So, at this stage, our Camino was to be abandoned after just 2 days and my friend's problems were just beginning as far as getting home with no documents or money. It was then that the lady from the supermarket came into the police station with my friend's purse in her hand, it had somehow fallen from her and landed on a display shelf. We cannot thank her enough for this act of honesty and kindness.»
