Hi Everyone,
I am sure this has been asked hundreds of times but a lot of the answers lead me to this one: http://www.espritduchemin.org/en/hostel which is no longer servicing St Jean, so I am hoping you experienced pilgrims may be able to tell me which albergue will provide us with the best experience of St Jean?
I am arriving on the 6th of May with my mum, and we are spending 2 nights there before we begin on the 8th (Mothers Day for us, so that is important for her symbolically for the memory of her mum). It is really important for me that my mum has the best experience, as this is her big O.E., giving up that opportunity when she was young to raise us four kids. She is such a champ. I would love to stay somewhere which does a communal dinner where we can meet other pilgrims and get a sense of community before we depart, I am a celiac so cannot eat gluten but that is not the priority, as I am happy to cook my own dinner - I just want her to feel we are off to an amazing start to give her a boost for the big walk over the Pyrenees!
Any suggestions would be amazing, and sorry if there are other threads that I have missed!
Thanks so much in advance,
Liv
