    It’s busy

    I stayed in a pilgrim room at San Martin Pinario 2 weeks ago - the receptionist told me that the pilgrim rooms cannot be booked through Booking.com and can be booked only by contacting them directly. A double pilgrim room including breakfast was €40

    LIVE from the Camino Calling all CURRENT hospitaleros!! (Nov 2021)

    FourSeasons - I also made a mistake on the date 😔 I was there in April 2018. All the beds were open and there were red/burgundy coloured sheets

    LIVE from the Camino Calling all CURRENT hospitaleros!! (Nov 2021)

    I was hospitalera in Nájera for 2 weeks in April 2019. There were 2 of us and, at that time, 90 beds - we were full on most nights. I loved every minute of it & have very fond memories of Nájera. Would love to go back

    Camino Frances - Limited time, avoiding lots of roadside walking

    I would not want to miss a single day - I loved every step of the Camino, including the Meseta. In 2016 I walked the entire distance and went back again in 2019. In 2019 we hired bikes in Burgos and cycled to Leon, cutting 8 days of walking down to 4 days of cycling - only because of time...

    Donativo albergues

    I volunteered for 2 weeks in April 18 as hospitalera in a donativo albergue on the CF. It amazed me how many pilgrims would take €50 out of their wallets to pay, but when told it was donativo, the money was quickly put away. Turns out that average donation per pilgrim was less than €2.50 per...

    Food on Camino Frances

    We have just spent a couple of days in Nájera. Just wanted to let pilgrims know that we found some great places to eat. Las Ocas does great coffee, the best hamburgers and also really good pinchos. Christina (the wonderful owner) makes a delicious cake. For an evening meal, we went to El Buen...

    Nájera to Bilbao

    Does anyone know the best way to travel from Nájera to Bilbao airport? I’m hoping to travel in the morning of 1st May 18 - am aware it’s a holiday in Spain and there don’t seem to be buses or trains running that day. Looks like there are taxis, but this is a very expensive option. Would...
