    Hi Brian, I apologize for not responding sooner. The albergue absorbs me all day and I barely get into anything that is not something directly related to the albergue. I'm in Frómista, it's the Albergue Luz. My wife and I have been in love with the Camino since 1998, and in 2000 we decided to...

    Hello, I write with the experience of a hospitalero, and there are a few more of us who think in a very similar way. As they say Bradypus and Ian &Linda you can book perfectly two days in advance. But (big BUT)... If you book through Booking, ATTENTION!!, the albergues that use it have a...

    4-week experience of being a Hospitalero

    Thank you, TomSawyer, for sharing your experience as a hospitalero, on the other side of the table in the recepción, on the other side of the visible world.

    Miracles of the Camino?

    I wanted to thank John Brierley for his dedication to the Camino by sharing with him this strange story of the Camino. Brierley loves the Camino, and that's why I'm writing this. It is a true and strange story that happened to me, and that I think deserves to be told, I think that this is the...
