Does anybody have up to date information on the albergues/hostels along the Way? Along with prices

[joe]

It doesn't matter if there are no up to date ones, but it would be nice to know so I could estimate a time plan to see which hostels I may and may not end up staying at. Prices would be handy too because if there is a cheaper hostel 4-5km further down then I would probably go to it (i'm kind of on a tight budget and I'm going to try to squeeze every cent of every euro lol).

Thanks in advance for any information

Hi Joe ~
It doesn't take too much Spanish to use this great website: Albergues | Guía del Camino de Santiago | EROSKI CONSUMER which Consumer Eroski puts out for Spanish pilgrims. Just click on an albergue then click for "Ver ficha completa . . . " ("see complete file..."). Price and lots of other details are included. When you explore the entire website you'll see it has lots and lots of great pilgrim info.
Buen camino ~
Sandy

I have absolutely no knowledge in the Spanish language, but I'll give it a go... after a while I'm sure I'll get the hang of which buttons to press. Thanks

Don't be intimidated. Numbers and Euro symbols are the same in English and Spanish. ;-)

I used a website called "www.online-translator.com"

You simply copy and paste the web address of the page you want, select the language it is in, then select the language you it translated to, and then it'll translate the majority of that website. I've just done it and now I'm reading that spanish website in english

Just thought I'd let you know so you can tell people about it when you give them foreign websites. Thanks again, it's got a lot of information!

Lots of people use Google Translate also. Just type the URL into the blank and the page miraculously appears fully (almost) translated. Google Translate . I wasn't sure about your Spanish knowledge and didn't want to insult you by suggesting an online translation service. :-)

I wouldn't be insulted even if I was Spanish myself, I see things like that as courteous instead of insulting. I've never had to view a foreign website before so i've never used Google Translate, but the funny thing is I used Google to search for a translating website! Ah well, it's translated anyway.
