[QUOTE="Robo, post: 1228197, member: 31043"] There is an 'element' of that I think, but hopefully not widespread. Though I think it's coming more from the point of do 'try it' at least. I would guess that half of the active members on here use private accommodation! I did on my first 3 Caminos! The thought of sleeping in communal dorms did just NOT appeal I'm afraid. But........ On my last Camino I made a commitment to myself to 'try it'. And I did. I stayed in about 20 Albergues I think. If was fine...... Was it an amazing experience that I felt I had missed out on so far? No, not really. :rolleyes: But the most amazing Albergue I stayed in, I was the only person there! Maybe that just says more about me..... :) Was the experience different staying in Albergues compared to private rooms? No not really. I still met up with buddies for meals. I just didn't sleep in the same room. In some Albergues I enjoyed communal meals. In private rooms I (mostly) got better sleep. Though I honestly did not have a bad nights sleep in Albergues either. What makes a Pilgrim? What's in their Heart. ;) [/QUOTE]
