What's the current state of Albergues and other facilities in Spain? Is there any trouble finding beds? Are albergues doing anything to enable/encourage social distancing and cleanliness in the dormitories and bathroom facilities?

Thank you!

Hi Ryan - Welcome (back) to the forum. On the main forum page, you can see a section called "Pilgrims walking now." Those threads should give you a good idea. Or, here is another active thread on the topic.

I am in Cirauqui tonight. Top bunks left vacant so reservations recommended. Private albergues spotless. Everyone in Spain wears a mask indoors except when eating. Outdoors a lot also. But not while actually walking on the Camino. Buen Camino.

Staying on the Norte in Orio - no one in top bunks, but no masking indoors.

Doesn't it seem that it would make more sense to alternate the empty bunks between upper and lower?
