About El Molino del Sol

New chapter

Formerly known as Molino Galochas, the mill is now El Molino del Sol, where a warm welcome awaits you from Elisa and Juan. Our motivation comes from personal ties to the Camino and a commitment to the charities we support.

Giving back

100% of profits are donated to mental health and suicide prevention charities, including The Samaritans (UK) and Teléfono de la esperanza (Spain)*. Family at end of Camino de Santiago

Pilgrims and Retreats

Many guests join us while walking the Camino de Santiago Francés; others come simply to slow down beside the water, the gardens and the library.
