I have two lists of Albergues to stay at.

I have two lists (PDF) of Albergues to stay at.

The first... is a list of the Albergues my Wife and I stayed at on our third Camino in Sept-Oct 2017.

If, like us, you are a retired couple who doesn't do well with others Snoring, with public washrooms, with people who insist of talking after lights out, with people who think reading with a light, after lights out, is OK, with morning bag rustlers........ this list is for you. Enjoy.

The second... is a proposed list, of places to stay. I am planning on a 4th Camino, but it will be a Solo-Camino. I have composed a list of (mostly) bunk room style Albergues, and I've tried to include as many Communal-Suppers as possible.

I would greatly appreciate any constructive comment on this second list to help improve it.

Couldn't go through all on the list 2 but definitely recommend Casa Magica at Villatuerta. Molino Galachos both of those if they have the same people running them as in 2016. However both are fascinating buildings. Santa Irena is a very pleasant, well run, small albergue.

A Double Room is a price for both people. So.. €40 is like €20each
The ONLY exception we found was Hotel Real Monasterio San Zoilo in Carrión de los Condes... Avoid.! !

€40 should give you your own room, your own bathroom, clean linen, fresh towels.... and a good sleep.

My suggested budget of a €100/day is for a couple traveling and staying together.... €50each/day

Thank you getting a bit worried it was going to cost a lot of money just for a bed
We had planed to go for 2 1/2 months i dont want to rush or have to skip on a bus x

Two on your List #2 that I think aren't to be missed are "En El Camino" in Boadilla (Eduardo is a great guy) and "Albergue Ultreia" in Castrojerez. At Ultreia, the storytelling and wine cellar underground tour (he says partly Roman built) by the hospitalero are so fun. The host doesn't speak English, but he finds some peregrino to translate as he talks (it was me last time I stayed). He is dramatic and hilarious. It is owned/run by a husband and wife, and she cooks dinner. They also has a nice backyard with a stone foot bath.

At Virgen de Camino, I strongly recommend taking the side route through Oncina de Valdoncina and staying at Albergue El Pajar de Oncina. It's been described elsewhere on the forum. Wonderful folks and atmosphere.

In Lorca, there are two albergues right across from each other on the narrow street you pass through. The one on the right is run by Jose Ramon, and it was his family's house. He's very sweet and dinner together is nice there.

Pictures below are of El Pajar in Oncina and of Jose Ramon at Albergue de Lorca

Places I've stayed in that are on the lists:

Puenta la Reina – Hostal Jakue. stayed in Hostal section. Very clean and tranquil, great food.

Fromista – Hostal Camino de Santiago – clean and comfortable but that is a public children's playground in front and it can get very noisy as kids get taken there to let off steam before their siesta!

Astorga – why avoid Albergue de Peregrinos San Javier? Charming place, owned by Gaspar who also owns the Gaudi and the Posada in Rabanal and run by his son. If you stay at the Gaudi try for one of the rooms in the front - a little bit noisy but you can stand and watch the Camino walk past!

Rabanal - Hostal El Refugio still run by Antonio’s son Tonio? Clean, cool and tranquil - Hospitaleros from Gaucelmo eat here!

I never stayed at Jakue, but stopped there to eat. The best fresh tortilla I had anywhere. I can taste it right now!

Two on your List #2 that I think aren't to be missed are "En El Camino" in Boadilla

They now have a hotel next to the albergue, run by the same family. Lovely if you want a break from dormitaries. You can still eat with everyone else at the albergue.

Yes, I stayed in the hotel last time at En El Camino. It's very nice.
