I’m a dreamer with some goals that hopefully will lead to a plan. I have the advantage of having EU citizenship and would have only a small “home” that operates as a Donativo in a location in need of a rest stop.
I’m also looking, however Salas Albergue is of the Camino and the fairly new (about 3 yrs old) Albergue in Grado is completo most nights. So they only get the pilgrims who can’t find accomodation in Grado or want to walk a little further. So yes the price is too high.I know there are people around here that sometimes dream about their own albergue. This one is for sale:

And Hospitales seems to have become the "must do" alternative.
Off topic, but this is something I’ve never understood: why is Hospitales considered an alternative if it goes past three medieval pilgrim complexes?

We stayed in Salas, at the place across from that marvellous restaurant you reference (Albergue de Campas). From the photo in the link, I can see the name of the one for sale is El Rey Casto Albergue. We did the Hospitales and I didn't feel out of sync. We went to Tineo from Salas. Then Tineo to Campiello.I am not a potential buyer, but I am wondering which albergue this is. I assume it is not the private one that is right in the old part of town, across the street from the restaurant that serves you way too much food. Gronze lists three privates, La Campa (which think is the one I stayed in) and two others. Four albergues in Salas, since there is a municipal one, does seem to be overkill, but a lot of people do walk Grado to Salas, which is 22 km. The real problem with that stage, IMO, is that it gets you out of sync for a Hospitales day. And Hospitales seems to have become the "must do" alternative.
No, they were pilgrim hospitals. There was a leper one along the Primitivo as I recall, but these aren't them.I read about these and I don't think they were for pilgrims.
I read they were occupied by lepers and were very basic in a very cold area far from civilization.
Hi El Norte is beautiful and in need of more Albergues. You’d have to like rain and wind as it is a maritime location. The first 6 days Irun to Bilbao is where there is a lack of Albergues plus a few stages in Cantabria. I too think about a less traveled Camino for a small place. I’m going to volunteer in 2019 a few places. I have an economical base in Slovakia so can get to and from Spain quickly.
