I'm also in the short walking days rather than full "rest days" camp. They work especially well if you book a private room for the night between two short walking days. That way you can arrive early to your destination and check into your room if it's ready, or leave your backpack at reception if it's not. Then you can go out and explore the city or town without lugging around your backpack. The next morning you can sleep in, then have a leisurely breakfast before starting out for your second short day of walking.
I loved Astorga and the municipal albergue is good, especially its terrace if sunny. The cathedral, archbishop's palace are worth a look. There's a medical centre there too.Hi, I am planning my first Camino, starting from Leon in mid September. I expect to be walking for 13/14 days although this will depend on how I am feeling. I would like to have a 'rest day' between days 6 and 9 and would appreciate any recommendations of suitable albergues/locations between my start and end points. Many thanks.
Sarria is a good option.Hi, I am planning my first Camino, starting from Leon in mid September. I expect to be walking for 13/14 days although this will depend on how I am feeling.

Agreed, I stayed there last night, The pool is a dream during the heatwave and the place is, arguably, one if not the best Stops on the Camino. I thought I had died and gone to Heaven.i pretty much rushed the first 100km in 4 days and my hips are hurting now. so i decided to stop in Poferrada for two days and took a cheap hotel. i don't think Albergues are suited for longer stays with one exception so far: Albergue la Casa de Peregrino in el Acebo de San Miguel. that one is really worth the stay, is cheap and has very good food and even a pool!
