The Refugio Guacelmo is one of my favorites - my wife's too! It has been closed since Covid hit. Their website which is manned by volunteers presumably, suggests that they MAY open this year. Does anyone know their status? I would really enjoy staying there when I pass in April. And in regard to my Camino which I am starting on March 30 from SJPP, my third eldest son surprised me just yesterday with the news that he will joining me for a week from Sahagun to Villafranca del Bierizo - what a joy! He will meet me on Good Friday so will experience some of Semana Santa.
He had walked the AT (Appalachian Trail) as a thru-hiker over 5 months a few years back. I certainly hope I can keep up with him!!

Hello, try contacting CSJ, the Confraternity of St James in London - email: office@csj.org.uk - it’s one of their refugios. It’s also one of my favourites! Buen Camino.
