How this list is made
Between 20 and 23 October 2026 we wrote to 177 private albergues in Galicia and asked whether they open this winter. Each answer is published the same day on this page and on the albergue’s page. If an albergue changes something, it is corrected here. What an albergue has not confirmed is not on this list: in winter, always call before you go.
Do you run an albergue and you are not listed, or has something changed? Write one line to [email protected] and I will publish it the same day.
