    This private hostel is designed for pilgrims on the French Camino de Santiago, but also welcomes tourists and travelers. It is located in the center of Villafranca, a city declared a Historic-Artistic Site. The building, declared a Site of Cultural Interest, dates back to the 17th century and was originally a school of the Company of Jesus. Its architectural design combines educational and religious functions.
    I hope you have a pleasant stay at this historic hostel! 😊

      The former monastery has now been converted into a hotel. There is also a pilgrim hostel in it.

        Inside is the patron saint of Vilafranca, Christ of Hope... and a magnificent altarpiece from the same 17th century.
