Hi, I’m looking for recommendations for albergues between Ponferrada and Santiago that have that special touch… a nice community dinner or great breakfast or great hosts… common room…any recommendations?
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
In Ponferrada:
Wonderful donativo. The hospitalarios couldn't be more generous and kind and giving. The albergue is clean and has everything you need. There is a very large kitchen and lots of pilgrims prepare meals there. Great feeling
In Trabadelo:
A very clean, basic and welcoming place to stay in a small town getting ready for the big climb ahead:
In Triacastela:
Great hosts, great food nearby,clean and welcoming and a bar that opens early for food and coffee to start your day.
Ventas de Naron:

Wonderful owners, no bunk beds, very quiet and clean and good food
In arzua the ALbergue San Francisco is really nice
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
La Medina - Camponaraya
Albergue el Castillo - Villafranca del Bierzo
Albergue El Paso - Vega de Valcarce/Ambasmestas
Albergue Linar do Rei - Linares (very nice and clean with communal kitchen, however THERE IS NOTHING in surrounding area - one small market and some semblance of a restaurant. There IS a Bar\Cafe though
Albergue Ecologico El Beso - Triacastella (neat-to set up all natural yummy vegan dinner)
Casa Barbadello - Barbadello (very clean and has a pool)
Albergue Melide - Melide (run by 2 French ladies, exceptionally clean and comfy!!!)

...Just to name a few
 
+1 for Albergue el Castillo - Villafranca del Bierzo (great hospitalero - her name escapes me now)
+1 for Albergue Ecologico El Beso - about 1.5k from Triacastela on original route (not Samos). Excellent vegan dinner.

and to add:

Hostería de Gonzar - Gonzar (fairly new, excellent variety of food, bar onsite, pool, shared & private rooms)
Albergue O Candil - Melide (right in town on Camino path, new(ish) facility)
Albergue Turistico Salceda - Salceda (just 24k from Santiago, nice facility with great restaurant onsite)
 
Last walk was 2016, but Pequeno Potala In Ruitelan was one of the best communal experiences with Hosts Luis and Carlos. And sets up for an easier walk up to Ocebreiro. And Fonfria, at the round house across the road is always good communal meal to meet fellows. (Pension a reboleira)

A Reboleira in Fonfria was really nice, and rhe communal dinner was one of my favourite from last year - we had to ask then to stop bringing out more food as everyone was so full!
