For the most part we are managing to be a town beyond the usual stops.

I cannot recommend strongly enough the Albergue La Merena in Ledigos. It has a simply wonderful Pilgrim meal menu! My supper began with what I would call a crustless quiche of leeks and goat cheese, served with a quince jelly. My main was a generous salmon steak done on the grill and served with a beure blanc sauce. Dessert was a show-stopper: chilled mango mango mousse. That dinner was 11 euros.
Completely worth the walk from Carrion de los Condes (and farther!).
The albergue also offers a kitchen, lovely garden and a sitting room. All very well plumbed, and with nice bunks. I think they might have rooms as well.

And in Hospital de Orbigo last night our host, Arturo the relatively recent arrival/owner of the San Miguel provides one with charming conversation, paint supplies for doing your own art, and very comfortable beds (and there are some small rooms as well). Ask him to tell you his Camino miracle of arriving to his current situation. You may be moved to tears. He provides a very pleasant breakfast of whole grain toasts and fresh coffee, juice, jams and so forth... and the warmest conversation I have ever enjoyed from a Hospitalero. I think he is fluent in Italian as well as Spanish and English.

Thanks so much from the very deep of our hearts Morgan! Buen Camino!
 
Agreed! San Miguel was a favorite stop of mine! I loved the cozy upstairs, the art, and the kitchen was well equipped for a communal meal.

Forgive me Morgan but in what village is your second recommendation? It may be the lovely and inclusive wine I enjoyed at my delicious vegetarian meal in Logroño- (whilst not a vegan... the bocadillos and jamon, queso y huevos were becoming a bit toooo mainstream... ) anywho, I derail myself... possibly due to said vino, I cannot locate your 2nd reco on my map. Thank you and Buen Camino!!

Morgan's second recommendation is in the village that is mentioned both in the title of the thread and in the third paragraph of the post: Hospital de Orbigo.
That's a small town roughly one stage before Astorga.
