I stayed at a private albergue at Fromista and while the facilities were good, the attitude of the owners was very unwelcoming. We arrived in the torrential rain, soaked through and all our clothing very wet and damp. The washing facilities are outside, so you cannot wash your clothes if it is raining. The clothes drying rack was also outside, so again one cannot dry any clothes while it is raining and the owners made no effort to try to make alternative arrangements for us to dry our clothes - e.g bringing the clothes drying rack inside to the sitting room with a gas fire. Consequently, we all had our wet clothes draped all over our bunk beds in the dormitory, none of which got dry. Throughout the albergue there were rules telling us what we couldn't do and it was rather like being in school. The albergue was the owner's private home as well and while we were allowed in the sitting room on certain chairs, there was a big 'private' notice on the couch in the middle of the room, which was reserved for the owners only. One pilgrim checked herself out and into the hostal next door because she felt so unwelcome. The rest of us just endured the strange attitude towards us, but were quite relieved when we left the next morning to escape the atmosphere.
