Do most places have a kitchen or at least a freezer?

I would like to freeze my water over night, that way it's nice and cold for the walk. Do most places have a freezer?
 
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.
I think you'll find that there are more albergues that don't have freezers than those that do especially the municipals.
You will find many fountains along the way and the water from these is generally nice and cool.
Now I'm sure that the private albergues will be a different story, but I didn't stay in any of those.

It's a clever idea, but as others have mentioned, not really necessary. You can refresh your water with lovely cold water from the fountains in most villages. I don't recall very many fridges or freezers - but I wasn't really looking.
I recall a post some time ago regarding this topic - except the person needed to keep some medications cold....but I can't recall the solution.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
