Auberge picks

Hello,
My friend and I will walk from St Jean to Burgos next fall. We will mostly stay in private accommodations, ( light sleeper who gets up in the night) but would like to stay perhaps half a dozen nights in an auberge to mix things up. Are there any suggestions of priority places to include as an auberge stop? Thanks.

There are lots of threads about favorite albergues on the Camino Francés (note: it's auberge in France and albergue in Spain)

Hi @auburnfive,
Some of the most wonderful albergue experiences unfortunately come with some of the most uncomfortable sleeping arrangements where you will be sleeping on a thin mat on the floor. For these, I can certainly recommend the Parochial donativo in Viana and Hospital de San Juan Bautista in Granon. There are opportunities to join in the community with shared preparation of a meal, a pilgrim's mass, and after supper dishes are washed up, to participate in time of reflection about the Camino.

The big albergue as Roncesvalles has the opportunity for shared dinner and also a pilgrim mass, but you do get to sleep in a bunk.

Don’t miss Beilari in St Jean Pied-de-Port

Hi Bercianos is a wonderful donantivo right before Shagun with many opportunities for shared experiences (cooking, reflection, etc)- Also, Estella's municipal albergue is one of the nicest, cleanest municials I've been to- not much on planned shared experiences

I enjoyed my night at Auberge Borda just after Orisson and it was a nice relaxed way to start my journey

Albergue parroquial San Francisco de Asus at Tosantos. A donovito where you sleep on mattresses on the floor, no WiFi, community dinner, which you help make accompanied by gregoriano chants sung by the hospitalero and, a chance to take part in a multilingual short service and moments of reflection. A beautiful experience.
