Massage Therapy

Anyone have info about massage therapists that may be available along Camino Frances? I'm older and find it helps the old skeleton keep mobile.
Thanks.

I found really good ones in Leon, Cacabelas and Rabanal. In Rabanal several massage therapists had set up tents in a grassy area near the middle of town. That was in 2015 so they may or may not still do that. In Leon there are several choices but I cannot remember the name of the person- just that they were located upstairs in the block leading up to the Cathedral. In Cacabelas I stayed at the municipal albergue and they connected me with the person. All were excellent.

They are all over the place! Look for posters on albergue bulletin boards, and signs on buildings.

Thank you so much for the info. That will definitely help.

Great news....old man's salvation.

There is a wonderful place in Palas de Rei on the main street in that offers massage. But kowabunga, that Spanish sports massage is killer! Hurt like hell, but I sure felt better the next day. Can't remember the name of the place but it's on the LEFT hand side as you walk into town.

How does the price compare to US prices? I typically pay about $60 for an hour massage in the states.

About a third of what one would pay in the states.

I have back issues so often get massages. I've had them in Pamplona, Villatuerta (the best), Villafranca Montes de Oca, Burgos, and Leon. I've paid 20-60 euros.
