[QUOTE="Rick of Rick and Peg, post: 949194, member: 51912"] Thank you folks for this thread, especially [USER=38350]@VNwalking[/USER], [USER=87627]@Doughnut NZ[/USER], and [USER=537]@peregrina2000[/USER]. Please leave the thread open. Monserrat on is where my experience matches the way planned. I would like to add a few things now and then that may be a bit helpful for the travellers between Monserrat and Puente de Reina but even for this section I'm not sure I would be [b]very[/b] useful. I'd have a hard time remembering where I ate or what I ate for example. I (One exception was the wild trout dinner in Puente de Reina de Jaca. I don't care for trout but Peg loves it, especially wild trout; she once lived next to a trout stream. It's been two years now and I still tease Peg about my trout. That's why I got it.) Anyway, back to Monserrat. Coming from Terrassa in the morning I approached the climb from the village of Monistrol de Monserrat. Although mostly a dirt road and trail there were staircases as part of the way too. It only [b]seemed[/b] that half the climb was the stairs. I got to the monastery just a bit late to check in at the pilgrim's office so the procedure was to do it at the hotel. I had a six bed albergue room to myself with an attached bath. That might have been shared with a neighboring room; I can't remember. I went to the hotel restaurant for dinner. They had a pilgrim meal available but that was served in a separate room with long tables with seating on both sides. There was only me and a Czech walking the Camino Ignacio eating there (it was October 21). In the morning there was a hard rain and I waited it out and then visited the pilgrim office for a sello. I asked if they had any poles. They had two mismatched ones from which I took one. The rain came again about noon. I decided to make the day's walk short by using the municipal albergue in Castellolí instead of the facilities in Igualada. Just recently that albergue has been replaced by a parochial one in town. I mention Castellolí as way to squeeze in more time sightseeing at Monserrat. In 2015 Peg and I visited as day-trippers. We were very impressed with the art museum. [/QUOTE]
