Bodenaya - WONDERFUL private albergue (donations). Anselmo, the hospitalero, was an absolute star and created a real feeling of welcome, especially after a tough climb up from Salas. It's a recently renovated building with fireplace, music, good food and a great atmosphere. Along with Guemes on the Camino del Norte, it was my favourite albergue on the whole trip.

It's a dark, pokey, place with lots of bunks in a small room and only one shower/toilet for everyone. We got there quite early and had heard from a friend that there was a lovely private albergue in Castro which is just 5km further on. It was €13 but very comfortable and with fantastic views. There's a bar downstairs where you can get a meal and also breakfast in the morning. It's the first building on the left as you come into town (not that there's a sign saying 'Castro' mind you!). We walked right past it and out of town at the other side as there was no sign saying bar/albergue or anything similar. The only indication was crates of empty beer bottles outside.

Buen camino to everyone who is out there! Tia are you out there now?
If the refugios are full, what are the alternatives on the Primitivo? Are there generally hostels or hotels or something in the vicinity?
