Hi everyone,
I'm going to do the Camino Frances in June/July (busy season I know but unfortunately I don't have a choice for various reasons). I'd love to hear from people what their favourite albergues were along the route.
You might be surprised to find out that by walking in June/July you will be avoiding the crowds that start from St Jean Pied de Port in May and September. The Camino should be a bit quieter, at least until you reach Sarria, and the 100Km pilgrims join in.Hi everyone,

I liked the Municpal in Burgos near the cathedral , good bar opposite the front door also San Javier in Astorga but it is pot luck . Your impressions get shaped in places by the people you meet and what’s good to one is terrible to another . If I was you I would not over plan . Just take things as they come and you will have a great Camino .Hi everyone,

Any albergue that is there when I need itHi everyone,

Fingers crossed that will be the case!
I'm going to try to go with the for which is difficult for me. But I would still like to have a list of recommended albergues should I be lucky enough to have a choice on any given night.I liked the Municpal in Burgos near the cathedral , good bar opposite the front door also San Javier in Astorga but it is pot luck .

I like to have such a list too. It doesn't always work out, but I think that it's a good idea to have an idea of what your options are.I'm going to try to go with the for which is difficult for me.

That's exactly my thoughtI like to have such a list too. It doesn't always work out, but I think that it's a good idea to have an idea of what your options are.
Put your list in "Camino order" - the order in which you will walk through the towns. Then when you arrive somewhere, or the night before you can check your list to see if one of the "favorites" is nearby.

English confraternity albergue at Granon will always have special memories for me if for no other reason then the warmest welcome by the Hospitalleros the cup of english tea , the communal meal, the prayers at the wonderful church , the worst hangover ive ever had after sitting long around the dinner table drinking wine and discussing life with pilgrims from all over the world.
A very special place.
Gosh! That looks great!You might be surprised to find out that by walking in June/July you will be avoiding the crowds that start from St Jean Pied de Port in May and September. The Camino should be a bit quieter, at least until you reach Sarria, and the 100Km pilgrims join in.
My favorite albergue would be La Finca, in Población de Campos. Each "bunk" is like a tiny room, and the upper beds are accessed via mini staircases.
It's only 10 euros, and they let you use the washing machine for free.
The restaurant also serves a good pilgrim dinner.

Thank you very much for that.This is a decent resource to use and start with. Clearly it can be subjective but I used this list of albergues loosely on the Frances and did stay at some and was never disappointed. I guess there is typically a valid and good reason they made it on the list.
Your right i did say i got very drunk ! it was Rabanal apologiesGrañón does not have an English confraternity albergue, if you mean the one in/at the church that one belongs to the parish.
Or do you mean the one in Rabanal del Camino? That one is the only one maintained by the English confraternity on the Camino Francés.

Also municipal pools at Cizur Menor and Redecillas - free entry if you stay at albergue - and Hontanas, at end of village.Like trecile and domigee, I’m a June-July pilgrim. The weather then is usually good - sure, it does get hot but you’ll avoid the worst heat of the day if you finish your day’s walking by 2pm.
If you like to go for a swim, my tip is to bring a cozzie with you to the Camino. There are quite a few albergues on The Way that have swimming pools and to have an afternoon swim is fantastic. A swimming pool is a Big Plus for me in choosing an albergue. It’s so refreshing and your feet and legs particularly will thank you.
On the Forum you might be able to find a thread listing all the albergues on the Frances that have pools - here are some where I enjoyed a swim earlier this year.
Albergue Ultreia at Castrojeriz - small pool similar to a spa pool (see photo)
En El Camino at Boadilla
Albergue Los Peregrinos at El Acebo - olympic-sized pool - it’s like a resort here!
Casa Susi at Trabadelo - completely wonderful - take a swim in the river at the bottom of the albergue garden
All these albergues are on my favourites list.
Also on the list is San Anton Abad at Villafranca Montes de Oca and Refugio Gaucelmo at Rabanal.
Here’s the spa pool at Albergue Ultreia, Castrojeriz -

I hadn't even though about packing a swimsuit!Also municipal pools at Cizur Menor and Redecillas - free entry if you stay at albergue - and Hontanas, at end of village.
Also swimming pool in albergue in Puente la Reina (after the bridge).
I was pretty sure I knew what it was, but I had to look up "cozzie".If you like to go for a swim, my tip is to bring a cozzie with you to the Camino.

The albergue in Los Arcos where I stayed in September said no pilgrims at all in July and August. Best albergue in Hospital de Orbigos was Alb Verde.Hi everyone,

I stayed in La Casa Austria source in July. The Albergue was well booked. Which Albergue in Los Arcos do you mean? On the evening on the main place in Los Arcos there were many more pilgrims.The albergue in Los Arcos where I stayed in September said no pilgrims at all in July and August.
