Just wondering if anyone could throw some light on these two stop-overs? Firstly which of the two offers the 'best' place to eat and secondly, and I wont have a sleeping bag (travelling early October), where's the best place to stay i.e., provides a bed with clean sheets?
the answer to both is La Trucha, a vegetarian b&b in El Acebo. Jaime the innkeeper is a former
Santiago pilgrim, a great cook, (you don´t miss the meat), and a gentle spirit. His place is always super clean, and by October there ought to be a fire in the grate, too.
Part frances jun 07/rest frances may- jun 2008/Frances sept-oct 2009/ Sanabres Oct 2010/Frances sept-oct 2011/Aragones Sept-Oct 2012. Hospitalero Sept 2010, Amiga in Pilgrim's Office Oct 2013. Part Primitivo Oct 2013. Portugues from Porto June 2015.
A message from the "man on the spot" Johnny Walker posted today on another forum,says that the night temperature is now dropping and recommends that from now on, you should consider taking a sleeping bag along. I walked from mid-Sept to 23rd October last year and most certainly could not have managed without it! Anne
Riego is a one-restaurant town. If the albergue is locked, go to the restaurant, and they will call the hospitalero to unlock it. The food is standard fare, and the service very pleasant. I always arrive in Acebo exhausted from the descent, but the coffee is great, and the service friendly. There has been a complaint about one of the albergues in town, so arrive in a tolerant mood.
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.
G'day! We're "newbies" and have our Camino planned for April/May. This information regarding vegan/vegetarian restaurants/accomodation has been most helpful! Thanks a lot

Taberna del Jose in Acebo is just ok, small clean and friendly-they have a lovely sunny back garden where one can pass a few hours with friends drink and food, for the bravehearted (and strong-jawed) its the place to try codillos or manos de porco/cerdo-pork/lamb knuckles-not for the faint heatred

In the mountain village of El Acebo I have always enjoyed the Meson El Acebo. Located on the left of the Camino as you walk down into town from Mont Irago, it is run by a friendly local family. Always open with a popular bar and pleasant dining room on the ground floor it has a simple pilgrim albergue upstairs. Late last November a delicious dinner cost 10€ and the albergue 6€.

I found I couldn't make any reservation in SJPP in the coming days. They are fully booked. I can't find even a single bed. What should I do? Is there anybody has a same situation?
Roncesvalles or push to Burguete? I prefer to avoid the recommended stages to avoid the race for albergues. Do you suggest Burguete? Is Roncesvalles too busy?
