If I had to pick my absolute favorite place, I'd say the private albergue in Boadilla del Camino.
Casa Nostra in Castrojeriz was nice as well.

another vote for Casa Nostra in Castrojeriz. The hospitalero was very helpful to me when I was there with an injury last fall. The hotel a few doors down does a very nice pilgrim's menu and the albergue does have a kichen.
If I do the camino again I will definitely stay here again.

Simsonite said:My favourite stop was in Santibanez de Valdeigleasias, ...Herkules the hospitalero gave us some drinks, after that he cooked the whole day for us,...he is very nice and an interesting person. though the building was not too modern and the toilets and showers a little old, it was great there

Janeh said:the albergue I always think of when reminiscing about the Camino was the one in Ruitalin, run by two monks. To be woken to the sweet sounds of 'ave maria' will never be forgotten. They cook dinner for you and will cook breakfast too. Try and stay up in the attic if you can. Wonderful!
Deirdre said:Hi Rita,
It's wonderful to have a list of the "best albergues" along the Camino.
Be cautious about feeling the need to stay in an albergue because someone else said it is wonderful.
It is essential to be flexible on the Camino.
that the worst thing to do is begin the Camino with an sense of "I have to go here and I have to do this..." .
Buen Camino,
WolverineDG said:Hermanita, here are a couple of places I either wouldn't stop, or would check around before I did. This is based on my experiences in 2007, so things may have changed:

Both were exceptional!
annakappa said:I have a favourite site in Spanish: http://www.consumer.es. Not only have we downloaded and printed a comprehensive guide and made up our own personal Camino Guide using these pages, but you can visit the site regularly and read the updated comments of Pilgrims under the heading "Albergues". This is very up to date. Lots of people put in their comments. For example, I had read that the albergue in Vallafranca Montes de Oca was not to be recommended. What happened? We were walking in almost torrential rain and although we arrived at Villafranca before midday, we decided to stop (because the next leg involved going over the Montes de Oca and the albergue in S. Juan de Ortega was closed due to the recent death of the priest who ran it). We stayed at the albergue in Villafranca and were very comfortable indeed! It was maybe a bit "sterile" but absolutely nothing to complain about. And I had marked on my downloaded page "NO - don't stay here".
My two favourites of the whole Camino are (in order of starting point) Ventosa and Refugio Guacelmo in Rabenal. Anne

annakappa said:Rita, I forgot to mention two other albergues that we liked very much: Mansilla de las Mulas (the only one. (Great hospitalero) and Albergue San Miguel in Hospital de Orbigo (also great Pilgrim attention).
