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.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
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.
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.

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
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
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.
