Albergue El Caserón de Vidiago

El Caserón de Vidiago is a privately run pilgrim hostel housed within a traditional Asturian cider house in the small coastal village of Vidiago, in the municipality of Llanes. It opened in 2017 and sits just off the N-634 national highway, about 700 metres from the road, in the green hills characteristic of this stretch of the Cantabrian coast.

The combination of a working cider house and pilgrim accommodation gives the place a distinctly local character. Asturian cider culture is deeply rooted in this region, and staying here offers a glimpse into that tradition beyond just the walking route. The bar and restaurant serve meals and breakfast at reasonable prices, and the cider house setting makes it a more atmospheric stop than a typical hostel.

Accommodation is basic but functional, with 6-bed dormitories using bunk beds and a small number of private rooms. The hostel is open exclusively to pilgrims from March through October. Covered and locked bicycle storage is available, which is useful for those cycling the route rather than walking it. Bed sheets, individual lockers, and laundry facilities round out the practical offerings. Agustín runs the place, and the contact details suggest a hands-on, personal operation rather than a commercial chain setup.
