I saw couch surfing mentioned. This is even better as far as I am concerned. I have traveled through Europe and Africa using SERVAS and had many visitors from around the world stay with me. A great concept of world peace through friendships. You can even travel in your home country through this program. I plan on staying with someone in Barcelona before and after the trip. A good way to have some fresh clothes waiting for you for the flight home!

I mentioned CS a short time ago, I have hosted 3 groups of travelers, one group was from Galicia, and have offered a place to stay/visit after my camino, and I also have offers of places to visit/stay from people I met on my last camino, I will look into Servus as another option, CS is great but the average age is to young , or I am too old )

I couchsurfed in Bayonne and Burgos while in Europe last year. Both experiences were wonderful. I like couchsurfing a lot. Servas is too structured for me, based on their website. CSing is much more grassroots. I think both organizations serve different groups of people differently. It's always good to have options.
