At AGALBER (Galician Association of Private Hostels) we believe in the magic of the Camino and the power of hospitality. From the heart of Galicia, a land where welcoming pilgrims is both tradition and commitment, those of us who make up AGALBER unite to keep the Jacobean spirit alive. We are hosts who love the Way of Saint James and know that each hostel is a temporary home where stories are shared, where one rests and regains strength for the next stage.

We are united by the conviction that quality and authenticity must go hand in hand. That is why we work together to improve our establishments every day through training, advice, and defending common interests. We want pilgrims to feel the warmth of our hospitality and to perceive the guarantee of a network that puts their well?being as the top priority.

We innovate without losing our roots. That is why, three years ago, we created Bookalbergue.com, a web platform to manage direct reservations without commissions. For us it is essential that the relationship between the pilgrim and the hostel is without intermediaries. We promote digitalization and professionalization of the sector without renouncing the essence that makes the Camino a unique experience.

We walk together—hosts, pilgrims, and local communities—so that the Way of Saint James remains a transformative journey. Our network is an open community where each hostel contributes diversity, character, and authenticity. Together we achieve more.

In 2026, Bookalbergue.com goes beyond Galicia and adds to its network of private hostels accommodations from all the routes in their entirety. We aspire to be the reference platform for booking private hostels on the Way of Saint James, recognized for excellence in hospitality, service innovation, and commitment to the unique pilgrim experience. We want to consolidate a broad and integrated community that includes hostels from all regions and also from Portugal, building a common bond through Bookalbergue.com, and contribute to ensuring that the Way of Saint James continues to be a first?class cultural and spiritual itinerary, sustainable and enriching for those who travel it.
