León albergues

...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
In Leon the Benedictinas offer the Hospideria PAX
with private accommodation which is very nice and which you can reserve.
Here is their web--
http://www.hospederiapax.com/

Their nearby Pilgrim albergue provides dormitory accommodation for 134 with shared facilities but does not accept reservations except for groups. Both facilities are located on the plaza Santa María del Camino.

The Hospideria has a pleasant dining room open to all with a good inexpensive daily menu .

While often staying in the pilgrim albergue I peeked at the Hospideria facilities which appear to be very comfortable. The choice is up to you!

Do check out the many tips/advice in this earlier forum thread re the Leon to Astorga stretch.

Buen camino!
 
I would recommend the Hostel Urban Rio Cea. It is new and just a block away from the main street to the Cathedral. It is 15E for the dormitory, but worth the little bit extra for the breakfast and the location. I have stayed in the Parador and the municipal and lots of places in between. The Rio Cea is the best value in my opinion!
