Where to sleep on the espiritual way?

Is it right that there is no list of sleeping addresses for the Espiritual way?

The Wise Pilgrim and Buen Camino apps both have guides to accommodation. This forum also has great info on particular accommodation options, if you use the search functions

If you want to really treat yourself, my husband and I stayed at Casa Prado de Carballo in Armenteira. It is a couple miles off the Camino, but if you call them, they will come pick you up and deliver you back to the Camino in the morning. We just finished the Coastal Route, starting in Porto, and it was our absolute favorite place. The people, the setting, the food. I can't recommend it more highly.

The Spiritual Variant is going to be interesting to watch this year. Two big changes occurred in Armenteira this year. The albergue has 25 possible beds (count from a pilgrim this morning) instead of the 32 beds last year. (The old operator was terminated for exceeding the authorized number). Yesterday at 13:00 they were turning people away.

At the monastery, the nuns changed their policy and no longer take reservations for pilgrims and last year in the summer had no pilgrim beds for July, August and September. It is possible to reserve a two night stay except July to September when it switches to a 3 night minimum. I stayed there last year, and I recall about 5 double rooms were used for pilgrims.

Other options include the Pousada de Armenteira has 23 rooms, but they are over 150€ a night with some dates already sold out. There are a few other places, but no where near enough to handle the numbers that I expect this year based on all of the increased awareness of the SV.

Armenteira was our stop on April 19 and the auberge was full. Five of us shared a house for 20 euros each and I can't rave enough! Our host picked us up in front of the monestary, drove us back for the Blessing of the Pilgrims and then brought us to the Camino path the next morning. The house was stunning, there was a pool and a washing machine, we each got our own bedroom AND our host cooked us tortilla and paella (additional cost).

If you want the same experience in Armenteira, here is our host's contact information:

Casa Vacacional Busto

It was very easy to communicate via Whatsapp.

BTW, the Spiritual Variant was worth every step. Leaving Armenteira is the most beautiful section of the Camino!

No, it isn't correct. Brierley's CP guide has a section on the Espiritual Variant that includes accommodation options as well as the guides already mentioned earlier by @Simperegrina.
