Sleeping in albergue without walking?

[Liina]

Hi everyone!
I didn't find answer to one question I have (akward if there is that subject already, but I hope you all forgive).

My train arrives in Ponferrada 15:05 and I planned to find a place to sleep and just be there in the city, look around, live in and start walking first thing in the next morning.

So, without any walking done, can I still get a bed in albergue or should I think about private hostels?

Everyone has to start somewhere! Arrive with credencial to stamp and you'll be ok.

You can stay in the Ponfeŕrada albergue San Nicolas de Flue on your first night without walking that day. They are open mid afternoon until 22:30. They also issue Cendencials.

No problem, they stamp your credential and its ok . Wish you a Buen Camino, Peter.

should I think about private hostels?

Perhaps. I thought the old albergue was one of the poorest on the Camino. The new one is said to be much nicer. For a great private place halfway between the train station and the bus station, and right on the Camino, consider: http://hostalrioselmo.com/tarifas/
