New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
On the Eroski site the Albergue-de-peregrinos-San-Nicolas-de-Flue, Ponferrada lists these hours --
  • Hora de apertura: Entre las 13 h y las 15 h
  • de cierre: 22:30 h
During the times that I have stayed in San Nicolas pilgrims often arrived during the evening.

Even before you begin your camino as long as you have a Pilgrim passport or Credencial you would be able to stay in any albergue in Santiago.

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
