As the cold winter months approach, pilgrims have fewer options in lodgings. Many albergues and hostals close during this season, waiting to open again near Easter. The following is a list of those albergues that are available for the winter pilgrimage. They are in order from east to west and contain information about closing dates and reservation requirements. This list is presented with information compiled from albergues invierno at aprinca.com and is valid as of November 16, 2018. Buen Camino!
