I Agree to use gronze . Open www.gronze.com at primitivo section and find stage with Borres. If you click on the Albergue listed - you will see the basic brick Albergue. It shows pics of inside too - gronze is great. The Albergue has limited bunk beds but was adequate when I stayed (in 2015). The bar is a short walk from it but not ‘across the road so to speak’. ‘Then’ there were two ways to the bar /a muddy track if it’s been raining or (b) a slightly longer on the road. Food was ok and You could get breakfast there too I believe. Staying there shortened the walk that followed ‘the choice over ‘Hospitales route’ or the alternate route via polo de Allande. Quite a few people opted to stay 3klm short of Borres at village of Campiello .. if you time your walk to arrive there (in Campiello ) during or before menu Del día time stops. ,you’ll find eating is good there. I recall getting the last bed at Borrres so if it’s busy might be a better idea to stay in Campiello.If you look on Gronze.com you will see mixed responses to this albergue. I haven't stayed there but hope to walk the Primitivo this May or June.
Wow, that looks good Laurie (just checked it out on your link above to gronze).And I have never stayed here, but I know several forum members rave about the albergue in Samblismo, which is a couple of kms beyond Borres and right at the split for Hospitales vs. Pola De Allande.
You can reserve and food is available.
Yup, Sanblismo is the place to go. Wonderful albergue, communal dinner and hospitalero. Borres has an overpowering smell of dung.
