Hi, I’m looking for recommendations for albergues between Ponferrada and Santiago that have that special touch… a nice community dinner or great breakfast or great hosts… common room…any recommendations?
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

In Ponferrada:
Wonderful donativo. The hospitalarios couldn't be more generous and kind and giving. The albergue is clean and has everything you need. There is a very large kitchen and lots of pilgrims prepare meals there. Great feeling
In Trabadelo:
A very clean, basic and welcoming place to stay in a small town getting ready for the big climb ahead:
In Triacastela:
Great hosts, great food nearby,clean and welcoming and a bar that opens early for food and coffee to start your day.
Ventas de Naron:

Wonderful owners, no bunk beds, very quiet and clean and good food
In arzua the ALbergue San Francisco is really nice
 
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.

+1 for Albergue el Castillo - Villafranca del Bierzo (great hospitalero - her name escapes me now)
+1 for Albergue Ecologico El Beso - about 1.5k from Triacastela on original route (not Samos). Excellent vegan dinner.

and to add:

Hostería de Gonzar - Gonzar (fairly new, excellent variety of food, bar onsite, pool, shared & private rooms)
Albergue O Candil - Melide (right in town on Camino path, new(ish) facility)
Albergue Turistico Salceda - Salceda (just 24k from Santiago, nice facility with great restaurant onsite)
 
Last walk was 2016, but Pequeno Potala In Ruitelan was one of the best communal experiences with Hosts Luis and Carlos. And sets up for an easier walk up to Ocebreiro. And Fonfria, at the round house across the road is always good communal meal to meet fellows. (Pension a reboleira)
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
A Reboleira in Fonfria was really nice, and rhe communal dinner was one of my favourite from last year - we had to ask then to stop bringing out more food as everyone was so full!

+1 to this , stayed there twice. Also I somehow forgot about Albegue Leo in Villafranca del Bierzo.. nice family run house. Very nice people
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.
