Are the hostels on the Camino open?
Most private hostels (albergues) are open during the high season (March/April to October), when there are more pilgrims and favorable weather. During the low season (November to March/April), many private hostels close. It’s advisable to check availability before traveling, especially in the winter months.
As for public hostels (albergues), these are generally open year-round, but it’s recommended to contact them to confirm they are operating.
