[QUOTE="Robo, post: 1153831, member: 31043"] Now that I have finally 'taken the plunge' and stayed in a few Albergues, I was surprised at how good the experience can be. And varied! Thank you for pushing me gently in that direction..... How about sharing your most 'memorable' three? I'll kick off, in no particular order. [B]Albergue Parroquial Santa María - Fuenterroble de Salvatierra - Via de la Plata. (Donativo)[/B] This was a 'must try' for me having heard so much about it and Father Don Blas who runs it. Very quirky decor and accommodation, like the hobbit house out the back! Great Hospitelero, welcoming, jovial, helpful. Wonderful communal meal. A great lesson in how to create delicious food, from not much! And an interesting 'mix' of Pilgrims and short term 'residents'..... [B]Refugio Gaucelmo - Rabanal del Camino - Camino Frances (Donativo)[/B] Again a must try for me having heard so much about it. Great Hospiteleros, kind, supportive, helpful. Lovely building and facilities. No communal meal but afternoon tea in the garden, as a meet and greet for everyone. Communal breakfast available though. And right opposite the Church to attend vespers. [B]Albergue Municipal de Villavieja "Manuel Fuentes" - Villavieja - Camino Invierno (10 Euros)[/B] What an adventure! On booking, I was told to bring food as nothing is available locally! Only 11 people live in the village and I saw none of them. You literally walk up a mountain to get there! They give you a code for the door, and there is an honesty box for your 10 euros. A converted school house, lovingly restored, perched on the side of a mountain with million dollar views! Everything a Pilgrim needs (except food). Fully equipped laundry (washer dryer), kitchen, nice beds and bathrooms, sitting room / dining room. Blankets, Sheets! Towels! And I had it all to myself! Not a soul there. Gee, it was hard to narrow it down to just three!! Hence keeping it to most 'memorable' rather than best or anything else. CAVEAT!! Given the recent discussions on providing recommendations. Your mileage [S]may[/S] WILL vary ;) [/QUOTE]
