Yes, I liked La Finca en Poblacion de Campos [I took one of the upper bunks], free washing machine, plus, Ernesto is one of the best cooks on the Camino Frances! Small place, but they are expanding [adding a new building], family business, highly recommended. Thanks for reading, que la luz de Dios alumbre su camino.

...I'd greet my pilgrim guests with a crisp glass of Prosecco or chilled beer as they checked in (a bed and breakfast owner on England's Coast to Coast did that and it was pretty crazy sipping Prosecco in dirty, sweaty hiking clothes!)

There is an nicely located albergue in San Sebastian, A Room in the City, with bunks that have a privacy curtain much like a sleeper car on a train, a lockable drawer below the bunk and reading lights.
 

Experienced this at the albergue in Salas on the Primitivo. 5 of us arrived at the same time. The hospitalero sat us all down around the table in the kitchen and brought us cold glasses of beer and a bowl of potato chips as we paid for our bed and had our credentials stamped. So great - it had been a long hot walk that day.
 
...I would serve Breakfast in ... Sleeping Bag. Steaming hot coffee and warm blueberry muffins. But not until the sun was up. And the lattes would be in to-go cups.

Love it! Warm muffins... Mmmmm.... But... I'd sell lightweight, reusable go-cups so the paper ones didn't end up in (hopefully) the nearby garbage cans or along the trail. On second thought, pretty sure as a paying customer I'd rather sit and enjoy my CCL in a normal cup while I savoured the muffin
 
No paying customers! If I were to open an albergue, it would be free. The only conditions would be no talk of politics or money, everyone would have to be kind and they'd have to "pay it forward" at some point. But...I think I'd send pilgrims off with a reusable souvenir cup!
