When I first walked the Invierno, there were a couple of youth albergues, but only one camino albergue, in Xagoaza, very inconveniently located a few kms outside Barco de Valdeorras.
Well that situation has changed dramatically, there are now lots of (mostly private) albergues on the Invierno.
But according to this recent article in the Voz de Galicia, not even Semana Santa in Spain resulted in filled Invierno albergues!
I’ve given up with my predictions about the Invierno “taking off,” but still say it’s an absolutely great camino if you are looking to get away from the crowds of the Francés.

El Camino de Invierno ya tiene albergues, pero le falta gente
Esta es la primera Semana Santa con cuatro alojamientos para peregrinos en la Ribeira Sacra, pero no están llenos
