Albergues open season

Hi all,

I’m walking the Frances starting May 3. I thought I might book the first few albergue nights in advance and then just book as I go from there. I’m seeing that a majority of the albergues are listed as “closed until the start of the season”. When do these typically start to open? Right now the choices are really limited.

Thanks in advance.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
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.
Even if they are closed, most of them will take advance booking during the winter. Send them an email, and be patient. They will get back to you.
