Hmm, I don't know. The hospitalera told me that they will be expanding and adding 16 more beds.Wow!
Their website also says 12 places, but gronze gives it 20 beds. I wonder why?

I'm staying at an amazing albergue just past Fromista in Población de Campos called La Finca. It only has 12 beds - no bunks. Each of the lower beds is in an alcove with a privacy curtain. The upper bunks are accessible by mini staircases, and are like a mini room.
Use of the washing machine is free.
There is also a lovely restaurant that was full of locals when I arrived. I haven't had the dinner yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
The price for this luxury is just 10€.

I think I know what your suggestion might be, Laurie. You're so easy to read throughDon't mean to derail this thread, but your post made me wonder -- as you get closer to León by the minute, are you any closer to deciding which way you will go when you get to the statue in front of the Parador? Buen camino, whichever route you take! And I hope the weather is being nice to you! Laurie
I think that I'll probably end up staying on the Frances this time. A friend joined me for the first 10 days, so I started at a slightly slower pace than I had anticipated, meaning that I probably don't have the time to do the Salvador/Primitivo this year.Don't mean to derail this thread, but your post made me wonder -- as you get closer to León by the minute, are you any closer to deciding which way you will go when you get to the statue in front of the Parador?

I called ahead because I knew that they only have 12 beds. In my case it wasn't necessary as there were only 4 of us there that might. But with such a small place, if you really want to stay there I'd call ahead. I actually had someone at the bar/albergue in Boadillo call for me.Tried staying there Saturday but it was booked solid on account of a local festival. My advice would be to call ahead for that one: you're faced with a walk back to Fromista or onwards to the next little town if they have no room.
Also FWIW: That's the only instance I've encountered so far where an albergue was full.
