Let us hear what you think, Chris. Also, if you decide you want an inexpensive room there, they don't have them bookable online but if you ask when you arrive they might have one in the building where the family lives. Buen Camino to you!!Thanks HIghlands Hiker for the recommendation of Albergue A Reboleira - I've not noticed it before - a great looking alternative and a change to Triacastela and will now plan to stay there next week. Thanks again.
I'll second that endorsement. Although the place is on the larger side, the family that runs it create a warm, friendly atmosphere. They offer fresh food featuring local dishes in the bar and a really fun communal meal in the thatched roof adjacent building. It was cold, rainy, and snowing a bit when I was there last May, so I didn't spend any time outdoors, but the grounds looked like they'd be quite inviting on a nice day. Enjoy!Thanks HIghlands Hiker for the recommendation of Albergue A Reboleira - I've not noticed it before - a great looking alternative and a change to Triacastela and will now plan to stay there next week.

Hello Sheirly, my friend & I are doing the same route/timing in late Sept/Oct. It's our 1st Camino so can't help with lodging but would love to know your planned route. Buen Camino. it's coming soonHi all,
I am starting my first camino on April 20 from Astorga, and I'm giving myself 13 days to do the walk. Would love to hear recommendations for albergues/CR between Astorga and Santiago, best towns to stay in, and any other tips!
Thanks!

Shierly- if possible stop in Villafranca del Bierzo. Pretty little town & it's a must stay at the stunning albergue Leo. Fabulous, charming hosts- Maria & Mercedes will make you very welcome. Mercedes' husband played guitar as we ate breakfast in front of the fire in the dining room next morning. Precious memories. Buen camino.Hi all,

Acebo (Mesón de Acebo has a back garden with wonderful views) rather than Molinaseca, to split the challenging - and spectacularly beautiful! - downhill trail in two
4. Also, Villafranca del Bierzo is lovely. But, again, the albergues are not good (this also goes for that very popular one). Instead, stay at La Puerta del Perdón, a small hotel.
In Villafranca del Bierzo I like Albergue-Hospedería San Nicolás El Real, a converted convent. There is an albergue portion and a hotel portion with very reasonable rates.1000% correct , stay in the small hotel and relax in a great little village.
That very popular albergue is very dirty and we talk from experience .
I'm with Nidarosa re Refugio Gaucelmo at Rabanal. Their hospitaleros are volunteers from all over the world and you'll receive a lovely welcome.

Avoid staying in O Cebreiro - it is a tourist trap and you will be treated as a tourist. Instead, stop at lovely La Faba and stay at the German albergue there.
the albergue in Fonfria
I also very much liked Albergue El Beso, a few kms West of Triacastella (if you choose not to go to Sarria via Samos).Casa Morgade

I ate the pilgrim dinners 80% of the time. That might have contributed to my enhanced appreciation of the food at this place but I truly believe it was unusually good.
I'm sure you will love it! Buen Camino!My parents and I are booked in to stay at albergue Leo on Easter Sunday - sounds heavenly!
