I’ll be walking to Carrión on the CF in a few days asking if anyone has a recommendation for a favorite albergue?

Thanks in advance

I am partial to Santa Maria. In the summer there are several sisters (nuns) there along with other volunteers. There is music in the afternoons as well as a shared meal in the evening. Vespers and a pilgrim mass take place at the nearby church. I don't know if the sisters will still be there this late in the season.
 
Ideal pocket guides for during and after your Camino. Each weighs just 40g (1.4 oz).
In 2015 I think I stayed Espiritu in 2017 it was Santa Maria. Either is good although Santa Maria does have a good kitchen and of course the singing of the Sisters.
 
I was in Albergue Espiritu last night. Dorm with 9 beds, I think. Great, I thought, I'll have a good night's sleep. I'd not factored in that of the 7 of us, there was 1 Prize Snorer and 1 Cougher.
Someone else was at Santa Maria and the nuns were singing last night.
