My favourite albergue just 8km after castrojeriz is Albergue hogar. Eat at the monchilla but try not to stay there. The people are amazing but the showers are really tough for tired fat people.
After you walk over to boadilla ( not a place to stay) you carry on to Fromista via the canal - after that you hit a wee pueblo then a big pueblo - big pueblo offers a right turn then left along river - much nice than road. Eventually you merge with road and carry on down to a wee town then on 8km to carion des Los condes- best place here is monsterio San Xolio at end of town. San zolio is last building before you take the 16km walk on to half way and the best town is templarios (3k after ledigos) about 26k. The albergue on the edge of town is fairly new has twin and single rooms and reasonably spacious dorm. Another good stop is 16 km later at sahagun where the nuns at the end of town offer very cheap accommodation for pilgrims in twin or single rooms 30-40€ I think so 20 if you share
Burgo ranero has limited rooms but a few albergues - I think if you have the strength it's an easy 12km to a town called religeous where a new albergue on the edge of town has a mix of good single or twin rooms and a six bed albergue style room all beds no bunks. I shared it once with a Brazilian contingent and I snored like a "chainsaw"!
Walking down early to man silla de las mulas gives you the option of the 9:30 bus in or having a leisurely but boring motorway walk in. Next bus is about 3 so don't sleep in.
Leon parador is very cheap so for those who like 5 stars check it out!
