I think it's pretty common knowledge that there are only two pilgrim albergues on the Invierno. One is run by Asun and her mom, the other is a municipal albergue in Xagoaza. But the CSJ guide lists that there are youth hostals (usually open to pilgrims) in the following towns:
Puente Domingo Florez, Biobra, Rubi o Castro, Villamarticin, A Rua, Quiroga, Chantada and Rodeiro.
The only one I have seen with my own eyes is the one in Quiroga, and Kinky's recent report confirms that it is still in operation.
Does anyone have information on the other towns? I know some of these are off-Camino a bit and may be of little interest to pilgrims on foot, but I think it's a good idea to include them as options.
I'm going to start a similar thread on polideportivos/centros sociales along the way, but first have to cull through Kinky's list and the guide to get a starting point for that discussion. So, all I'm asking about here is the actual youth hostals. If you know they exist in other towns as well, please add to the list! Thanks, Laurie
