Albergue Orion is beyond perfect. Daniel, who built this place, is a peregrino himself and knows exactly what is required. The washing tubs have washboards and plugs, the bathrooms have soap and towels and even air fresheners. The dormitories have sheets that fit and lockers for everyone. There is even an indoor clothesline on case it's raining.
The grounds are fresh and clean and the food (get the Korean!) is terrific. Everything so impressive I just love this place
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc

We stayed there in 2017 and loved it. They served Korean Bibimbop. But I heard that the Korean lady moved to England so do they have another Korean chef?

Agreed. I stayed there in May also. She is still there, and I can say the Korean lady’s name but dare not try to spell it. Sam from England is also there. Bothe ladies are angels!
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Every year they have a citywide garlic festival there that is unbelievable!!!
