There aren’t many Albergues on the Invierno. The best one is the one you find.

En la jornada de hoy dejaremos las tierras leonesas del Bierzo y la Cabrera para entrar en Galicia. Tras ascender al alto de las Pedrices, se inicia un largo y agradable descenso por el valle de Valdebría hasta llegar al río Cabrera, afluente del Sil; atravesaremos este último y el resto de la...

I moved your thread to the Invierno sub-forum, and you can see a bunch of recent live reports if you scroll through the list of posts. Most include information on accommodations. As Tinca says, there are not tons of albergues on the Invierno. But there are many more than there were a few years ago.

In Las Médulas, I have stayed several times in Agoga, and I like it very much. You should do some searching here, and also try the Wise Pilgrim app, because Wise Pilgrim took our crowd-sourced forum guide and put it on an app.

There are no fixed “segments” on the Invierno, so where you stay will very much depend on your walking tastes. From Las Médulas, you could go to Sobradelo (short), Barco (medium), Villamartín (medium long) or A Rúa (long), so let us know!

Buen camino and hope you have a wonderful Invierno. There are a lot of forum members who are very big Invierno fans!

I used Gronze exclusively to find accommodations this May.

Sometimes there are not many options. (like one)
These are the places where I stayed.
I walked short days.

1. Villavieja 16 (Municipal Albergue) - Amazing!!
2. Las Medulas 12 (Hotel Medulo) OK
3. Sobradelo 19 (Bar Mar) OK
4. A Rua 20 (Hostal Niza) Nice, lovely host
5. Solden 19 (appartment) Nice, no food in village, order via host
6. A Labrada 22 (Pension Pacita) Great
7. Monforte 20 (Hotel Cardinal) Nice
8. Vilarino 19 (Casa Rural Torre Vilarino) Great, lovely hosts
9. Penasillas 22 (Hotel Vilaseco - 2kms before village) ALBERGUE upstairs, single beds.
10. Rodeiro 17 (Hostal Carpanteiras Nice ALBERGUE)
11. lalin 22 (Hotel Pontinas) OK, good food
12. Bandeira 22 (Victorino Hotel) Nice hosts, good food

I popped into Agoga this morning and they couldn't have been nice and more welcoming, especially considering i wasn't a guest. Made me sorry i wasn't there overnight but it was too long a stage for me. I was in Villavieja Albergue last night - echo previous reports, absolutely fabulous place but of course need to arrange in advance and being food. Tonight I'm in Casa Rosa Albergue further on in Puente Domingo Florez and it seems really nice. Bit long for a first stage and it is HOT out there
Buen camino and maybe see you on the way!

P.S. I've found wise pilgrim, the thread on this forum for stages <25km (super) and gronze all very useful.

My experience late April 2023.
Las Medulas - Socorro B&B (nice family)
Sobradelo - Casa Mar Albq (very helpful)
WARNING - If taking Brierly's green route from O Barco, the bridge at Penouta was closed in April, but just follow road and cross dam at Valencia do Sil
A Rua de Valdeorras - Casa da Solaina (Brierley guide says Albq closed but he still accepts Pilgrims and good room)
Quiroga - Municipal Albq (massive, souless but a bed)
Montforte de Lemos - Puento Romano Hostel (not brilliant, butnice location)
Chantada - A Pousa do Asma (Good value, free laundry)
Rodeiro - Carpinteiras Albq (V good and not far off main route)
Lalin - Pension Las Palmeras (OK but lots of choice - Pilgrim office in centre very helpful and lovely wax sello)
Silleda - Santa Olaia Albq ( OK but old school building)
Outeiro - Xunta Alberque (Usual good modern standard. Walk upto Pico Sacro well worth it in afternoon)
Hope your journey goes well and I enjoyed this route into Santaigo so much more than the Frances the previous year.

Do a search for Camino Mixto Invierno and hopefully you will get my Live from the Camino thread. I try to give lots of details about accommodation options.

How do you arrange to stay in that albergue? Can you WhatsApp them? Or is it aphone number/email?

I think i got the details from gronze - I emailed and got a response that way with all the details. I tried phoning but it was the day before a holiday so didn't get through to anyone.
