[QUOTE="Colette Z, post: 616138, member: 64924"] ? Not sure I understand your comment. Sorry not to reply about accommodations. I choose to stay in municipal Albergues and monasteries as much as possible for the pilgrim interaction (good and not so good at times which teaches me tolerance). I stayed all alone more than once as the Norte was quiet early March. I would not stay at the Pilgrims albergue in Santander again (private but €10) kitchen almost useless, very few bathroom/shower and many bunks.....I was the only pilgrim plus the male hospitalero and didn’t feel comfortable. Although the Ziortiz monastery is worthwhile don’t expect much in he way of supper or breakfast (its donativo); Valdedios Monastery with Carmelite nuns 6€ (its on the first part to Oviedo which I took to avoid a Gijon then back to Avilés) is nice but super cold and kitchen is very minimally supplied no stores at all so if you will cook you must arrive with your supplies but big place super quiet beautiful mountain location and the young nun hospitalera was super nice. Stay also at the Sobrados dos Monxes monastery. In Guermes go,to El Tio Pueto (?) with Father Ernesto. Municipal Albergues were pretty clean and I can recommend all. If not donstivo then it’s 6€ to sleep. Given coffee and toast costs 3.50-4.50€ at times a 10€ albergue w breakfast was worth it. I slept 41 nights total, total cost accommodation 458€ (included municipals, monasteries, private Albergues and cheaper hotels when starting or if no Albergues like Ribasedella, Comillas, then Santiago. I’d say if you go,early Fall your budget to,sleep would be less than my total. I’d be happy to,message you a list of where I stayed if it helps but in March very few municipal were open so I had to stay at more private places. Buen camino [/QUOTE]
