Company information

Mazabe Gestión SL is the company behind El Espino Albar. A newly established business, yet backed by a solid track record. Although this project has only just opened its doors, our team brings over 10 years of experience in the hospitality industry, having worked across a wide range of establishments — from urban hostels to charming rural accommodations and 4-star hotels. After a decade dedicated to customer service, hotel management, and hospitality in its many forms, we decided it was time to take the leap and create our own space — a place where we could pour everything we’ve learned into something personal. That’s how El Espino Albar was born: a small, thoughtful, soulful accommodation where we carefully apply our experience, from quality and cleanliness standards to warm, attentive service and the small details that make a big difference. Our goal is to offer an authentic, comfortable, and welcoming experience, rooted in professionalism but without losing the essence of what’s local and familiar. In the unique setting of the Santoña, Victoria and Joyel Marshes Natural Park, we now place our entire professional journey at the service of each guest — in a project that is finally our own.
