    Having trawled through my blog I have found some of my Pilgrim Tinder ramblings!! Please note this is NOT intended to cause any offence to anyone and is merely a creation of my very bad sense of humour. "This got me thinking about my pilgrim...

    I agree with the others that it is a tough call, but one that I am happy to leave to the discretion of the association that owns the albergues. Before anyone judges them too harshly, it’s good to keep in mind that the Almería Association owns...
