Alternatives to Anton Abad in Villafranca this week?

[Mito]

I will be hiking through from Belorado this week and was hoping to stay at Anton Abad before crossing the mountain. But it doesn't open until the 15th!! I would like to connect with other pilgrims for that longer walk the following day. Advice for where to stay instead? Thanks all!

You might stop before Villafranca in Espinosa del Camino where there are 2 albergues open all year but not on Tuesday. See more in this Spanish Gronze web.

Good luck and Buen camino!

Villafranca Montes del Oca has really become a problem after the communal albergue closed 2 years ago. The people at hotel Anton Abad was really exhausted and tired because of it, but fortunately, they have an alcove for us pilgrims. A good place to stop, because the climb afterwards is best taken at the beginning in the next morning...

I don't have the phone numbers, but check with the bar at the entrance to the town, the family that runs it, also runs a nice inexpensive place with private rooms next door. The bar also has a restaurant that does an evening pilgrims meal and you may find other pilgrims there.
