I think what makes a favorite albergue is the "personal" experience you have in that albergue. I have great memories of albergues that were cold and bare with barely a convenience besides running water and a lukewarm shower. Less than wonderful in albergues with many creature comforts but with obnoxious and or rude pilgrims or hospitalarios. I have been to the same albergue on more than one occasion in different years and had both good, bad or indifferent nights.I would never be one to want to promote "favorite" albergues. Hey, Mods let not promote a thread like this, SVP!
No promotion here. I was clarifying that the list that the OP referred to, was a list posted in the Resources section by an individual forum member. The Resources section allows for updating of PDF documents, which can be a very convenient feature. We can all see when the documents were uploaded and last revised. A list of albergues that pre-dates the pandemic is likely to be of limited use.I would never be one to want to promote "favorite" albergues. Hey, Mods let not promote a thread like this, SVP!
