    Albergue in Leon

    Covent Garden, one of my favorite hostels, directly on Camino as you go through town, across from Gaudis Bontine, close to Cathedral and the host goes above and beyond to make your stay memorable. Great facilities, sheets and towels! full kitchen and massage available on 2nd floor😊

    Finisterre -it’s raining cats and dogs- should I just sleep in?

    You in my opinion made a very wise decision! I walked to Finisterre October 2019. I swear it was raining down,up, horizontally, and diagonally. it didnt actually rain in Finisterre but it was wet, dark and dreary. Save Finisterre and Muxia for your next camino!

    Where to Find Brierley Guide on the Camino?

    Hi, I am currently in Castrojeriz. I have lost my Brierley guide book and I miss it. Not so much for the maps but the wealth of information it contains. Does anyone know where might be able to pick up a copy as I go forward thanks for your input Denise.
