We’ll be starting in a couple months and I was finalizing some details. We are only staying 3 albergues and the rest have to be pensiones and hostales. In reviewing their facilities, I don’t see any mention of washing machines or any laundry areas.
What have you who have walked this route end up doing? The wash in the bathroom sink trick and hang in the shower to dry?
We’re staying at the following places:
Albergue in Villavieja (has washer- no problem)
Casa Socorro
Hostal La Torre II
Pension Do Lar
Pension Paco do Sil
Pension Casa Pacita
Hotel conde de Lemos
Torre Vilariño
Hotel Mogay
Casa rural San Pedro de Viana (laundry facilities advertised)
Hostal Caracas
Hotel Ramos
Just trying to get an idea of what others ended up doing.
In Lalin, the albergue is super and has a coin-op washing machine and drier.We are only staying 3 albergues and the rest have to be pensiones and hostales.
Hostal Caracas
I stayed in Hotel Ramos near the end of my camino in 2017. I found the private bathroom quite adequate to wash my usual amount of clothing. Hung up, it was dry by morning. I can see how this would be more challenging with two people sharing a room or in damper weather. I walked this part of the route in dry November weather. Buen Camino to both of you.We’ll be starting in a couple months and I was finalizing some details. We are only staying 3 albergues and the rest have to be pensiones and hostales.

I use a bar of soap and a sink or shower.
The albergue in Lalin is full on the day we arrive. So had to make alternate arrangements. Very creative use of a hair dryerIn Lalin, the albergue is super and has a coin-op washing machine and drier.
I would much prefer to stay there than at a hotel / hostal. That said, I get quite creative with the facilities that some hotels provide.
Thanks, this is the kind of information that I requested. I was looking for specifics of this route in terms of space in bathrooms and facilities since yes, there are two of us for half of it and then 3 of us for the remainder.I stayed in Hotel Ramos near the end of my camino in 2017.

Step 1 - Get in the shower with all your clothes on
Step 2 - Wash/rinse your clothes on your body
Step 3 - Walk around until dry.
I did this during my 2012 Camino Frances in the summer, and got by with only the clothes on my back and a spare. Really looking forward to going on the Invierno this April.

What have you who have walked this route end up doing? Is there room in the pensiones to hang clothes for 2 or 3 people?

I normally carry a plug for the laundry basin because most of the washing facilities at albergues dont have plugs. What is the situation at albergues on the Invierno
