Hi, I've just returned home having walked the first 15 stages of the Camino Frances and decided I should open a thread regarding Larrasoaña.
We arrived there on Sunday the 22nd to find the main Albergue already full but spaces available in the overflow building across the road. The overflow building was very poorly equipped with no hot water and very limited toilet facilities.
Larrasoaña was without doubt the worst place I stayed in during my Camino. There was nowhere open in the town where we could have dinner or get a meal of any description. The only facilities available were two vending machines stocked with soft drinks, chocolate bars and premade sandwiches.
How a town listed as one of the main places to stay in by the guidebooks can have such limited facilities is beyond me and I would recommend that anyone planning to do the Camino Frances avoids Larrasoaña at all costs. Stopping in Zubiri would probably be a much better option or if you do have to stay in Larrasoaña don't expect too much.
