    Best Unique and Comfortable Albergues on the Camino Francés with Communal Experiences

    St. John’s in Granon !

    Lets Build an Albergue!

    The albergue in I think the municipal Albergue at Azofra, after Najera , was new built and was very spacious twin bedded rooms and very light and airy from the huge glass windows. Showers and toilets on each floor and huge corridors ( bigger than the rooms ) where you could also sleep on the...

    Rabanal del Camino Albergues

    Heartily endorse Gaucelmo and the confraternity of St James. I attach my pics from may 2018, with abject apologies for forgetting the name of my walking companion from Geneva!! Absolutely, sublimely and brilliant afternoon tea on the lawn!! I do regret not having the time to do the silent...

    privacy

    We arrived after 4 0’clock in the afternoon and my companions ( all male ) used the showers in the basement next to laundry room ! I think I was following the crowd and never realised they weren’t unisex !

    privacy

    When I stayed at o’cebriero in May 2018 I found that the shower stall doors had actually been removed, possibly because to allow the larger pilgrims to fit in !! But it seems that the Galician authorities have real problems with showers since the doors were also missing in the municipal...

    Orisson Albergue

    .....And 5 euros for the ticket for the lunch sandwich the next day. No ticket ...no lunch!! But nevertheless the best introduction to the Camino and the pilgrim’s family for the next month! Loved the ‘Steptoe and son’ shower routine which was an absolutely invaluable experience!

    Municipal Larrosoaña closed

    The SAN Nicholas albergue was very good when I stayed there in April. The owner is very enterprising and promotes his Albergue by parking his car by the drinks kiosk on the last hill going down to Zubiri. His wife cooked a very good pilgrims menu ( with wine)!! Alternatively, the kitchen was...

    Roncesvalles... is just not for me

    I think it’s always going to difficult for the larger Albergues like Roncevalles to cater to everyone’s tastes. I think the auberge at Orrision on the first day sets the bar quite high for most first timers like myself because the newness of it all! The table companions at Orrision and...

    Roncesvalles... is just not for me

    I would place the Dutch Hospitaleros up there with the best on the Caminos and of course below those of The English Albergue in Rabanal !! Who else would serve afternoon tea on the green lawns!!

    Thefts at municipal albergue of Melide

    Rotten and disappointing thing to happen on the home stretch! If I remember rightly the municipal Albergue is very close to the end of the street that leads onto the trail and has been extensively renovated! The dorms are on the 1st and second floors (?) and have hugh sliding barn type double...

    Read Before You Walk!

    The lack of bells on most of the bikes passing me is quite alarming and I am sure that this will result in serious injury! I once commented in frustration at a Spanish rider’s near miss collision and lack of a warning bell and was shocked and speechless by his response in English that there...
