Albergues open in the winter on Camino frances!

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
There is also a list of albergues in the 'Resources' section available as a downloadable PDF that was posted by SYates. It doesn't list specific dates, but it states whether or not an albergue is open year around or not. Those which close during Winter tend to do so sometime in October and re-open in the Spring.
 
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,-
And may I add three things:

1) the list is kept up to date with changes

2) it is not always complete (only those albergues that supply the information to the administrators of the website are included)

3) call ahead of time to be sure

This is based on my experience walking last December/January and my meeting with one of the administrators of the website this past October.

The aprinca website linked above is more accurate ;-) but yes, always call ahead, especially if you are planning to end the day in a small place without any other options ...

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.
