The best albergues from Astorga to Santiago

Altus 24 Liters daypack (DENON 24 H30)
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
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!
 
Altus ANDES 400 H30 sleeping bag
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-
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.

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.

That´s correct. But that exact difference the meaning "best" it´s a plus. Because some days i like red others like green.

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.
 
EXPRESS BOURRICOT - Transport
Transport luggage-passengers.
From airports to SJPP
Luggage from SJPP to Roncevalles
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
 
Camino Way markers in Bronze
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
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.
