Hostal San Froilan in Virgin del Camino yesterday and secured a single room (31 euros) with his own bath
On booking.com the quote was much higher so contacting directly was a money saver.Still good value then. I paid 25 euros for a single with bath seven years ago. Very happy there.

Thank you for posting as I will be walking in your footsteps soon. Starting in Burgos next Tuesday. Also thank you for being a hospitalero.He was up early today (by Phil standards) and found the Cafe Maria dark at 7:30, however as he was shouldering his pack to trudge on, he heard "Senor, Senor" and the same woman from yesterday appeared to open up. After a cafe con leche and toastada he was on his way. He walked to Villadangos del Parmo and checked into the Municipal about 1:45.
This is the newly refurbished donation albergue he'd been told about. They are preparing supper for him and the one other pilgrim. They also provide breakfast. There is no washing machine available so he did some handwashing. He said the water in the shower was not very hot, but otherwise it is a nice set up.
Plenty of beds available. The hospitalero voluntarios are a Spanish husband and wife team. Phil told them he is also a volunteer for HosVol.
He said the senda today was near the busy highway. If he had not wanted to see this albergue he would have taken the variant.
Tomorrow Phil will be in Ponferrada and will prepare to leave the Camino. He's been asked to come to a Language school and speak English to Spaniards for a week starting the 15th. We hope we can both come back this summer and walk the Invierno together and then serve as hospitaleros again. It is possible after he finishes his language school week that he may go to Salamanca and walk to Zamora before he heads home to the US or he may go back to Madrid and go to Spanish language school for a week.I forget, Janet, so if you've already said please forgive me. Will Phil continue on the Frances at Ponferrada, or take the Invierno?
Buen camino to him!
I'm enjoying the vicarious journey.
One easy solution here, just sayin‘So many things I want to do and so little time for non-retired me.
