list of B & B accommodation

[Gail and Ed]

Hi everyone,
Does anyone have a current (2012/13) list of accommodation B&B and/or Hostal locations. We are going to do our 1st Camino in September - at a slower pace and with a few creature comforts like our own bathroom and good wine.
As someone had previously posted "this is 2013 NOT 913" or words to that effect !
Your help appreciated
G&E

Hi, Gail and Ed,
I know that this information changes very quickly, but here is one list put together recently by a forum member:

el-camino-frances/topic12557.html

I think that one of the best online sources for current private accommodations is mundicamino.com. It's very easy to use even though it's in Spanish. Once you find the Camino Frances and then see the breakdown of stages, over on the left there is a tab "hospedaje". This is nice for those who are not interested in albergues, because they are included in their own albergue section so all that you will see are private options.

Searching through the forum will also bring up lots of members' recommendations on places as well.

Buen camino, Laurie

Here are two additional nice places which may not be on the Mundicamino list.
Just east of Palas de Rei the hotel/restaurant, La Cabana, has an excellent daily menu and a great bar on the wide verandah with free WiFi. The also offer special pilgrim rates for their rooms. I have never stayed here but always enjoy their food. Here is their web >> http://www.hotel.info/en/hotel-complejo-la-cabana/hotel-162273/.

In Santiago the Hospedario San Martin Pinario is a VERY good stop! Most pilgrim rooms are singles at 23 Euros including breakfast, but they do have some pilgrim doubles. Ask about these when you email your query. for space to this address >> reservas@sanmartinpinario.eu. They are open 24/7 so that you can arrive at anytime, the desk staff are multi-lingual, WiFi is free, there are multiple public spaces for casual conversation and the restaurant (open to all) serves a very good 3 course lunch or dinner with wine for only 12 Euros. They also have more expensive and more elegant tourist accommodation which you can see here. >> http://www.sanmartinpinario.eu/index.php?idIdioma=3

Buen Camino,

Margaret Meredith

Thanks to Laurie and Margaret,
For your reply and links they will be a great start. Is most of the accommodation along the "way" or is it down side roads and such, adding extra kms to a days walk. Are there signs for the location/direction to the lodgings? (1st timers can't you tell !)

Hi, Ed,
There is an abundance of accommodation right along the Camino or with signs pointing you a few meters in one direction or another. If things are very crowded, there will also be opportunities to go further afield, but I wouldn't bother with compiling a list of those. If the situation arises, the people in charge of all the places that are full are likely to suggest more out of the way options. Buen camino, Laurie

- I got it in English vis google Translate. There is a drop down menu in the header titles "Select Language".
