I stayed at the Xunta albergue recently and I like it. My second time there. It was likewise bad weather. But the dormitories are warm so your gear gets dry during the night. The kitchens in Galicia are usually not well- eguipped. But the showers and toilets are spotless and hot water in the showers.

Just want to put in a plug for the Venta Celta, at least as it was when I was there most recently (2006?). It's a small private pension, with a really comfy-cozy and very small bar/restaurant in the ground floor. Wonderful fireplace. The first time I was there, the owner was a Basque woman who had walked the Camino and was following her dream. The second time I was there, she was trying to sell the place. So I don't know who owns it now.
Both times I ate an evening meal there and it was great -- no choice, just soup (caldo gallego), tortilla espanola, and salad. Cebreiro cheese and honey (oh, what a culinary delight) for dessert. I hope that tradition lives on, because it was a simple, delicious, filling meal.
Anyone stayed there recently? Buen camino, Laurie
Thanks for the info. I tried to book into Hotel O'Cebriero in October but they are full. I asked for recommendations and they mentioned Inn Carolo so I will check them out. Due to my husband's limitations with walking I need to book some overnight stays especially after a demanding day! SriyantraYou'll enjoy it one of the highlights of our trip. Just a note you'll check in at the restaurant and would highly recommend eating there.
Buen Camino
Can't find an email address just a phone number. Do you know how to contact them? Thanks SriyantraThanks for the info. I tried to book into Hotel O'Cebriero in October but they are full.

Anyone stayed at Casa Navarro?Can't find an email address just a phone number. Do you know how to contact them? Thanks Sriyantra
I usually stay at the Xunta albergue but the Casa Navarro looks fine! Try it.Anyone stayed at Casa Navarro?
I stayed at Casa Navarro Christmas Eve, we got 20 cm of snow, absolutely a great place. The owner Jose, and the young lady that runs the store attached to Casa Navarro, took care of everything for us. I will always be thankful for a great Camino. I finished the Camino Frances in December.
Thank you for your feedback. They do have a room available. I gather it is about a 5km walk from O'Cebreiro to Casa Navarro. Do you have to go back that 5ks in the morning or is there another way to get back on the Camino. Gracias for all your help everyone.

I will be in O'Cebreiro, if all goes well, on 10 May, and I am having a very difficult time finding accomodation. I have emailed the Hotel O'Cebreiro and evidently they are full. I've also emailed the Venta Celta but haven't received a response there either. I don't speak Spanish so I'm not sure calling would be the best way to go about it....suggestions?Just want to put in a plug for the Venta Celta, at least as it was when I was there most recently (2006?).

I am staying in Las Herrerias over night and then the plan was to have a leisurely walk up to O'Cebreiro.Why not stay in Las Herrerias?
And start early morning to climb to O'Cebreiro, fresh and full of energy...
Take the lunch in O'Cebreiro and continue and the afternoon.
There is plenty of places in Las Herrerias and a few km after O'Cebreiro.
Buen Camino, Jacques-D.
