The best albergues from Astorga to Santiago

Join our full-service guided tour of the Basque Country and let us pamper you!
I don't know yet 'cause have not been yet; however reading other peoples, La Faba is a good one! It's just that it's a big day to get there from our previous stopover.
We are leaving from Astorga too, @ 4am, that's when the bus gets in!

Rabanal - Gaucelmo, Municipal, and Nuestra Señora del Pilar are all acceptable.

Acebo, if you are tired - Mesón El Acebo is good and has good food.

Molinaseca - Santa Marina

Pieros - El Serbal y la Luna

Ruitelan - Refugio Pequeño Potala

Fonfria - A Reboleira

Sarria - almost all of them except the municipal

Triacastela - most of them

Portomarin - Ferremientero

San Xulian - O Abrigadoiro

Arzua - most of them, but centrally located is a good new one - Los Caminantes II

Pedrouzo - Porta de Santiago

Santiago - O Fogar de Teodomiro
 
I have twice stayed at Monte Irago in Foncebadden and love the ambience and the communal meal.
To me there is something magical about that village.
Also felt at home in Via Lactea,Arzua.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

When people ask for my opinion on the 'best' albergues I always ask what they mean by 'best'. Is it the most modern, clean and upmarket - or are they looking for the most traditional, atmospheric or spiritual places.
 
Transport luggage-passengers.
From airports to SJPP
Luggage from SJPP to Roncevalles

That´s correct. But that exact difference the meaning "best" it´s a plus. Because some days i like red others like green.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Casa Banderas is a new albergue just 3 kms before Portamarin so it is not yet widely known, but it comes highly recommended and you will be guaranteed a warm welcome. There are 10 beds and it has the best shower on the Camino.
 
I liked the one in San Xulian, nicer than some hotels and a cosy bar with a lovely fire.
 
Ruitelan - Refugio Pequeño Potala - totally agree with this one!

I would also add in the private albergue at San Mamed (outside of Sarria).

Those two are by far my favourite on that leg of the camino

NS de Pilar in Rabanal is great.
Santa Marina in Molinaseca Is a must if you don't want to stay in Pontferrada.
Ave Fenix has a great atmosphere but is not the most comfortable.
 
I hate ratings.

"The Best" is such a wildly various thing!
Don´t plan your journey based on other peoples´ ratings. Go out and walk your own road, let yourself experience the place for your own self.

One person´s worst is another one´s best.
