[QUOTE="peregrina2000, post: 1158059, member: 537"] Adding the personal stories really adds so much to what the Olvidado is. [I]“I may have written too much here” [/I]— NOT A CHANCE! I did know that Pablo in Vegarienza offers his home on those occasions when the camp is fully booked. He explained that he had told Ender he would take care of pilgrims and feels committed to that. It’s good to give a heads up in the forum because, as you say, it might feel a bit uncomfortable or weird. But this is for sure his standard operating practice. I am in somewhat regular contact with Estela in Vegarienza. Her dedication to the camino comes from her love of her birthplace town and her resolve to help it survive. She moved back about ten (?) years ago afte having a career (in León I believe) to care for her brother. She is working hard to get the town‘s buy-in and it sounds like she is being successful. It’s good to hear that she is not the only person interested in the keeping the albergue going. They’ve had a few setbacks but they seem completely dedicated! Any Fasgar stories? Rosi is the Estela of Fasgar, the one who got the place going. On my first Olvidado I stayed in her house with her family. And went to her daughter’s 4th birthday party in the social center. I believe her daughter is now in the colegio! I know Rosi had given up the albergue to another hospitalera for a while, but I believe she is now back in charge. She also had a few years running a popular restaurant, Aires de Fasgar, and casa rural in the summer but I believe that is all closed now? We pilgrims owe so much to these people! [/QUOTE]
