Refugio for sale?

[WrenB]

Hello, I've begun to plan to buy a refugio along the pilgrimage. Can anyone tell me if they learned of any that could be purchased. If so, please describe and tell me the price if you know. Thanks.

Hi WrenB,
I've no idea about the property market along the Camino but my guess would be that it's a seller's market. The number of refugios has obviously increased over recent years, so whether people are ready to cash in their chips or continue to take their income I don't know. I would think that if you bought a property to develop into a refugio the price would be higher than other properties slightly off route. But perhaps you have already anticipated these ideas, and I have no idea of your experience in this area. However I wish you well in your venture - to welcome pilgrims puts you in a very special place in life .....
One usually wishes pilgrims 'Buen Camino' but I think it is appropriate to wish you the same as a 'static pilgrim'. I worked as an hospitalero for two weeks this year so it gave me a taste of the life which you wish to take up - 'Bon Courage! Buen Camino.'
Brendan
