Azofraaaa!

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

I just have to throw a spanner in the works here. Anyone who is doing the camino in the winter don't get excited. When I was in Azofra in March 2010 the main albergue was shut and we had a bug ridden barracks to sleep in, by bugs, in this case ,I am referring to beetles etc.!
I may have been unlucky but I imagine it usually closes over winter. I thought the blurb I read about the place was too good to be true and for us it was :cry:

I left Logroño 14/09/2011 6:00 heading to Najera.
I arrived at Najera around 16:00
There were a lot of people. There was a long queue. It was very hot, I saw through the door many beds, less place to put things and few shower facilities.
I said: no more, so I took my stuff a headed for Azofra in full heat (30 C)
I survived on some Rioja grapes, I had just enough water to wash them.
After 1h30 I arrived in Azofra and had the fifth last bed.
PARADISE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I met again the "French Connection" (Charles, Alain, Gerard,...)
Alain sang for me "Je ne regrette rien" (Edith Piaf). It s on video.
I m trying now to catch up again the French Connection but they must be far ahead.....

Bummer! I was there in late April 2010 and it was open and it was glorious!

Well, sorry, but I have a different opinion.
We found bedbugs in Fall of 2009 when we were there.
Had to try several rooms until I found a bug-free bed.

I much preferred the parochial in Azofra where I stayed in 2006 -- but alas, it was closed.

The people were lovely, however.
And the village itself is wonderful!

I did a blog on the festival we attended (with photos)
