[QUOTE="Albertinho, post: 416902, member: 22438"] imagine ! You are walking and arrive at a "private" albergue that seems to be the house of a private family who open their house for pilgrims on their way to Santiago. You get a clean bed in a common room, you share with 10 or more others. There are hot showers ,toilets, room to wash and dry your cloths . There is wifi to get in contact with your dear ones. If you are a couple they provide you a room with double bed and private bathroom. In the afternoon the lady of the house offers you something to eat and a drink, e.g. a glass of Wine In the evening the family prepares to all a common diner, soup, main course , wine and some stronger stuff to have a good night sleep. They give you a good feeling, being together with different nationalities, common singing etc. The next morning they prepare all a good breakfast. After you want to go for your next stage you find out that your stay was "donativo" You can put money in a bottle. Reading this all above being offered ,what should be your appreciation , translated in €? Why my question? The other day I was hospitalero in the house, mentioned above for some days and I was bewildered finding out that some "pilgrims" sneaky tried to walk away without paying or paid 2 to 5 €! While they told me during a good glass of "free" wine that the day before they stayed here, they stayed in a hotel (30-45€ per night) or asked me to phone to a hotel or B&B to reserve a room (30 to 45€ per night) The owners of the house offer their services out of a great and warm heart and not because of any commercial purposes. They have offered this for many years, day in day out all year round Curious about your comments. Members of this forum who know me, know about who I am talking ! [/QUOTE]
