My Camino came to an abrupt halt in Luquin. I realised I needed hospital attention, and asked my hospitalero, Tiago (of Albergue Casa Santiago) to call me a taxi. When he realised I had a real problem he got his keys and drove me to Estella hospital. I thanked him profusely - he would not take any money - and refused to leave me to get a taxi back. He stayed with me for three hours, and drove me back. Today he brought me, and my bike, to Logrono, because I am not yet able to get on the saddle, but at least feel I’m making progress.
I cannot express properly the admiration and gratitude I have for this extremely kind man.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Hola @Peregrinopaul, well its often said "the Camino will provide" and in your case your hospitalero more than delivered. Hopefully you will soon be back on the mend. Cheers

A great way to pay this wonderful guy back is to post a review of your experience in Gronze.com. Many people will read it.

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
