Yes I agree. Brother Lawrence is a splendid chap. He runs a tight ship in the Sobrado Monastery but is very pleasant to talk to with some interesting stories.
Just a note to highly recommend Casa Gloria in Lourenzá. Very reasonably priced if 2 people sharing with breakfast included. Spotless with excellent bathroom. Washing machine available. 4* experience.
1. New albergue in Deba is excellent. Book at the tourist information office. The bar opposite does excellent early breakfasts
2. Stage from Markina- Xemein to Guernica is very well waymarked and had a lot of improvements.
3. Can highly recommend restaurante Pitis in Markina- Xemein. Good...
