Guide to various Camino accommodations

C clearly said:

There are quite a few organizations/companies/individuals, etc. that maintain lists of albergues as guidebooks, phone apps, or stand-alone lists. The real question now is which of these can update the information efficiently post-pandemic!

I just randomly looked at the Camino Con Correos information for the VDLP. The accommodations do include albergues parroquial, but they all seem to be listed in random order, so it is very hard to use. The Albergue de Peregrinos de Alija del Infantado is included, but I thought it had closed even before Covid.


The Correos listing does include many of these, but they are all called "hostels" in the English version. So, it is sometimes hard to know what is meant. For Roncesvalles, it didn't include the albergue, which is a major omission!

For planning stages and looking at options on my phone or computer, I find that Gronze provides a very simple overview of the stages and lodging options. I also like the Brierley maps, if available for the route. For less popular routes, the local camino association combined with a hotel booking app is often the best source.
