We just may meet up as I will start a day or two behind you. For me, I will seek the unique experience, if that is possible. Actually, I am open to sleeping in a barn or two, if available.

Check the resources section of the forum. There's a pdf document of favorite albergues. I downloaded it and will have it handy when I'm back on the Camino.

Hi thanks for that, yes I found that one and have it DL'd too, I just thought it would be interesting to get a few peoples opinions, and maybe titbits about different albergues and municipals. After the Portuguese last year it was nice to swap recommendations and info with people, so thought I'd try and canvas a bit about this part of the French way

Great! I'll look out for you! I have only done one camino before this but staying in so many lovely places of variable standard/interest etc was one of the best parts of it

Always fun and a great way to discover wonderful little places that might otherwise be missed.

Now thats a hard one. Stopped in an albergue in Murias in 2013. It was great. Good food good company what more could I ask for. Stopped there a couple of years later. New hospitaleras who were vegetarian and I am a committed carnivore so did not enjoy it as much. A couple of places I stayed were different because the hospitaleros where different, some for the better, some for the worse

A message has just been posted on the Facebook account of the albergue in Roncesvalles. It seems the combination of pilgrim numbers beyond their capacity and poor weather has made this a difficult...
