    Well Hell - Part 2

    I 'am' hospitalera at the albergue in Roncesvalles (two weeks a year yay!). The albergue accepts bags from Bourricot (the carrier) and will help you to forward it to the next place, if that's what's needed. Buen Camino, take care!

    Let's connect! Free Online Yoga Class

    One of the many super fun aspects of the hospitalera job in Roncesvalles for me, is the daily donativo yoga classes I offer. Every day we stretch, relax, breathe, recover from the shock of crossing the Pyrenees with a backpack on, and thank our legs and feet for carrying us. This happens on the...

    Camping legally on the Francés – albergues that allow to pitch a tent?

    I am currently working in the Roncesvalles albergue. You can pitch your tent on the lawn there and for 3 euros they let you use the showers and toilets.

    Let's Start A Pilgrim's Albergue in Santiago de Compostela!

    Collecting garbage - A duty for conscious pilgrims?

    There is already a Spanish initiative to encourage pilgrims to pick up litter. I was given this sturdy nylon bag by the hospitalera in Villambistia, it has a slogan printed on it about saving our environment and comes with a small brochure. I picked litter for a day, without a pole, and my knees...

    Coming home: Help for the heartbroken

    Thanks everyone so much for this thread. I am suffering badly, 3 weeks after arriving in SdC, after what certainly feels like one of the most amazing things I have ever experienced in my life (and I am over 50!). It feels like lovesickness! It is so good to know that this seems to happen to many...

    Advice for a "Type A" personality to fully enjoy my Camino?

    I agree with Waka, Doug, I am like you in daily life, and made it my Camino challenge to be less organised and allow the Camino to provide. It was sometimes hard, and I did not always let it go. And a certain mass hysteria got hold of the other pilgrims every now and then. To resist that is a...
