    Xunta albergues no longer accept reservations

    I like this. It would be better in my opinion if all the albergues did this.

    via francigena question

    No worries getting lost. Very straightforward and well marked. I completed the Via Francigena this past October with no issues. I went over the pass in early September. It's an amazing section of the Via Francigena. Have you checked out the Pilgrims to Rome website? It is a great source of...
