A couple of nights ago I stayed in the new donativo albergue about an hour on from Villaviciosa, just outside the village of Amandi, and a bit before the split between the Primitivo and the Norte. It opened, I think, this September, and has 12 (bunk) beds and 2 loo/showers. It's run by a very nice couple, Sergio and Edurne, who have young children and a lovely border collie (I come from the border that border collies come from, so am always pleased to see them).
I had been meaning to carry on to the albergue at Valdediós, but wasn't 100% sure it was open. It was, but I'm glad I stayed at Amandi anyway, as the first tour of the 9th century church at VdD is not until 11am, so I'd have had a long wait in the morning with no coffee, and Sergio does a communal evening meal, which I shared with him and my new best friend Antonío from Madrid, who I first met in Llanes, and very good coffee for breakfast.
The telephone number is 646516846. They also have a washing machine and drier.
I liked them and the place very much and hope they succeed.
