Yes, they are. And hot water, and mostly a decent kitchen as well. Cea was wonderfully warm after a wet day, and I was able to wash and dry my clothes out thoroughly. Ourense is in a great monastery building, and the others I stayed in were all excellent - amongst the best of the public albergues on the VdlP, and amongst the cheapest as well.

That's still great value. When I went hostelling around Italy in 1997 I remember paying at least 10-15 euros (or several thousand lire as it would have been back then) a night for bunks in hostels with fewer facilities.

Still it has the best price for all the albergues during the vdlp and cf. xacobeo still has the most modern facilities with all amenities second to none.

A bargain, a bargain! But be aware that some of them actually assign you a specific bed and some smaller ones allow you to chose your own. I found out the hard way when I inadvertently settled into someone else's bed for the night. Oh, my!

Whatever their price these Galicia albergues are a GREAT bargain. I have stayed in many on all my caminos. Slightly off the beaten track or at least not at one of the published 'official' halts these are run by the ACAG, ie the government of Galicia. Very well maintained and generally found in recently renovated historic buildings with original details, interesting roofs/ceilings, hot showers and good HEAT. Walking in late autumn or winter what BLISS it always is to arrive, open the door, greet the helpful hospitelero and step into surrounding warmth when tired, wet and chilled!

Each albergue is located on a map if you look here:
http://camino.xacobeo.es/en/hostels-directory

Another way of using the same info is going into:
1) The camino you would like to walk...
2) then click on a stage... and you will see the albergue on the map.
