Have just stayed at 2 new Albergues on the Camino Norte....first one at Muros De Nalon. Very well done... Great position. Cost 16 euro for dorm bed, meal 10 euro and breakfast 3 euro. The only negatives were the three big dogs that continually barked until 11pm maybe they continued but I fell asleep. Also the bathroom and toilet are in the room so you have to listen to everyone having a pee and farting. It has a bar and restaurant,
Food is very good. Albergue is called Casa Carmina not sure how many beds but over 20 in two rooms. Also has Wifi. I would not stay there again because of the dogs which tore holes in people's washing that was left out.

Second Alburge is in the centre of Luarca and is a subsidiary of Hotel Villa Luarca. In fact it is opposite the hotel in the centre of town. It is extremely well done. Has free Wifi, lovely little kitchen with microwave.
At 10 euro per dorm bed it is good value especially being in the centre of one of the must stay towns on the Norte. About 20 beds. No negatives.

These are my personal opinions others may have had a different experience.
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
