Accommodations on the Invierno in midwinter

Hi, Athena,
The Invierno reallly only has two pilgrim-specific albergues, and they are Asún’s house in A Rúa, and the other one in Xagoaza (about 2 km off camino outside of Barco de Valdeorras). There are a couple of youth hostels (all listed in the forum guide, which is in the Resources section, available for download), but I don’t know about their availability in winter. The guide also lists many if not all of the private accommodations. As falcon says, since they aren’t pilgrim-specific, their opening and closing won’t have anything to do with pilgrim traffic.

@chinasky walked the Invierno in January a couple of years ago, and you should do a search for all of his posts, by just putting his forum name in the “By” box. He posted a nice video too, I think I remember.

I contacted both Casa Socorro and Casa Rural Agoga in As Médulas, because some were concerned that such a touristy place might close up in winter, but they both assured me they are open.

Buen camino, Laurie
