Well friends, there I go again. This time I´ll be serving from 1st to 15th of March in the lovely Municipal Albergue ( Donativo) of Villadangos del Paramo, 20 kilometers after Leon.
Never been there before but my Hospitalero mates of HOSVOL said it´s a good place to serve, and GRONCE pilgrim´s reviews rates it like a wonderfull place to stay.
If any of you decides to stay there one nigth you´ll be welcome, maybe we can cook together a communal dinner: If need to use the facilities, have a cup of coffe, maybe a glass of red, or just say hi, you´ll find the door open, the heating on and the kettle boiling.

I just read the reviews on Gronze and it sounds like the Four Seasons on muni albergues!
 
My husband stayed there shortly after it re-opened with the updates in 2021. Lovely place, but the water is heated by solar and it was a cloudy day so he had a "cool" shower. At that time they were doing a communal meal. Best wishes! We will be volunteering at Arrés the first half of June this year!
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

Looks like now the heating and the hot water works by gas.
My best wishes to you for your stay in Arres. I served there five years ago, and it was wonderful.
