[QUOTE="peregrina2000, post: 1080489, member: 537"] Pasting in my oft-told memories of Casa Morgade from other threads. There are lots of good businesses, lots of great businesses on the camino, but Casa Morgade sets a higher bar, IMHO. They have evolved from a tiny albergue into a fairly large operation, but I htink they have managed to keep the same spirit. [I]Oooohhhhhh Casa Morgade. On my very first camino in 2000, I stayed there. At that point, it was a couple of rooms on top of the kitchen. The señora told us she was from Bilbao and had married a galego with a farm. Her family thought she was crazy. We sat around the table after her great home cooked meal and talked for hours. About three years ago, I walked through again and was surprised to see the huge emporium that Casa Morgade has become. The woman I had met was now the grandma, and several generations were working in the kitchen and the hotel. My very strong impression was that this family still brought the same love and enjoyment to their enterprise as they had years ago. I have seen so many camino businesses turn from love-of-the-camino to a working grind, and it was a real joy to see that this particular enterprise had been able to preserve the feeling that had started the business years ago.[/I] And I was inspired by the chatter to write to them, because it is so often the case that camino business owners get sour on the camino, understandably, but this place has preserved its warmth and camino spirit. [I]Hola,Laurie . Cuanto se agradecen esas palabras tan bonitas ,hacia nuestro negocio ,un pequeño negocio familiar que fue creciendo poco a poco ,y que a pesar de pasar los años lo único que hacemos es abrir las puertas de nuestra casa a los caminantes con nuestro mas humilde trabajo . Y palabras como estas, nos emocionan y ayundan a seguir en ese camino. Estas palabras las recordaremos siempre .Gracias ..gracias ,gracias Si alguna vez mas decide hacer el camino....le agradecería que se diera conocer, . Nuevamente le agradezco esas palabras tan bonitas. Un saludo de parte de todo el equipo de Casa Morgade Hi, Laurie, We really appreciate these beautiful words about our business, a small family business that grew little by little. And over the years, the only thing we do is open the doors of our house to the peregrinos, and offer them our more humble work (I think here what he means is that the peregrinos do all the hard work, they just do the easy bits). And words like this affect us and help us to continue. We will remember these words always. Thanks, thanks, thanks. If you decide to walk the camino again, we would appreciate it if you would identify yourself. Again, thank you for those nice words. Greetings from the entire team of Casa Morgade.[/I] [/QUOTE]
