      Good point. I crossed in late-ish September, 2022, and there were maybe 10-15 people staying there altogether. Undoubtedly, it's more busy in high summer.

      I am generally not a booker-ahead myself, but I have seen on occasion that people have found the hospice full. During the high summer season, I think possibly school parties or maybe scouts are accommodated. If you look at the booking site you...

      I'm way out of date as it is nearly 9 years since I passed that way. My memory is that it was pricey by Spanish Camino standards but cheap by Swiss standards, Bunk bed accommodation. Well worth it on any account for the experience. On the path up...

      Great place to stay! Dorm rooms but very spacious, with no bunkbeds, and they won't crowd unrelated guests into a room, so you'll often have a room to yourself (I did). And you can even request one. Very hospitable. Communal dinner with the...

      Nick: A great big "Grazie". for all your terrific descriptions and helpful "practicalities.". (I always use "logistics" to sum up the nitty-gritty, but "practicalities" is surely a better word, so I'm going to steal it hereafter). Every...

      Yes, exactly! I have found six, all directly on the camino in villages. Maybe there were more in other villages that I missed, as I didn’t do as much post-walk exploring as I usually do. They are individually numbered up to over 50, so there are...

      Day 8: Racalmuto to Agrigento — 33km It’s supposed to be two stages to Agrigento, but the ‘arrival anticipation adrenaline’ kicks in early this morning and I decide to try to make it to the end in one day. The evocative landscapes, more...

      Nick, I am in the chilly muni albergue in Requejo with an extra blanket, and trying to catch up on your awesome detailed write-ups with lovely photos. They are certain to help others who attempt this Camino. As for me, unfortunately I am not as...

      Thanks, Nick (yet again) for the heads--ups and the fantastic descriptions. A good walk for us today to Prizzi. Even with the kick-ass ascents, it felt like a piece of cake after the mud into Corleone. Almost a dozen pilgrims tonight at...

      Day 7: Campofranco to Racalmuto — 17km A dawn descent from Campofranco plunges me into the fog for the first time on this cammino. The rocky massifs on my right are almost close enough to touch, but I can barely make them out. Forty-five minutes...
