    House on the camino Frances (Leon) for sale

    I see the village has already several albergues. Not sure whether that is good or bad...

    House on the camino Frances (Leon) for sale

    They have a fun medieval festival there. And their people are super nice (if you speak the language)

    House on the camino Frances (Leon) for sale

    I'm not sure where to post this, is there a better place? If so, please move it or let me know. I just found a really nice and affordable building close to Leon, on the Camino, and wanted to share it with you, in case someone wants to open an albergue. It's not me who is selling. I'm just...

    Volunteering as a Hospitalera

    Hm, no, actually a discussion about that is not really necessary, I think. I know what I like and you know what you like. There's no need to agree on one, on? The awesome thing is, there is something for everyone out there. The Catolizism debate is a bigger issue. But probably not he right...

    Volunteering as a Hospitalera

    Thank you @Gerard Griffin, I totally agree with you. I love walking the camino, but I never understoood why it has to be such a serious and rigid thing. I would rather pay 10-15 Euros per night for a private albergue and have the freedome to get up when it suits me, than being in a place that...

    Volunteering as a Hospitalera

    Probably there are. But the question is: How find them? All the websites and groups I found so far, are about these public or christian or donativo albergues, where the volunteer is asked to work all day.

    Volunteering as a Hospitalera

    Thank you all for your comments and feedback about your experience! This has helped me a lot in my decision. I already have done 3 caminos myself and have met a lot of volunteers. Thank you for your great work! I traveled the world by being a volunteer (Workaway and Woofing) and that were the...

    Volunteering as a Hospitalera

    Well, I would do it and love it if if wasn't the whole day.

    Volunteering as a Hospitalera

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience. That sounds rough. I hoped it was more like with other volunteer oportunities (Work Away or Woofing), where you work 20-25 hours per week and can enjoy the rest your time..I guess, that's not for me then..

    Volunteering as a Hospitalera

    Hi everyone, as all the other threads on this topic are quite old, I thought I would start a new one with several questions on volunteering: 1) In General, how many hours is a hospitalero/volunteer expected to "work"? Half a day? Full day? Would one be able to work 3-4 hours per day in their...

    Accommodation issues (a warning)

    @LTfit @Rocco @Peter Isherwell It seems you are the right guys to ask for this: If on your camino you see a nice albergue that needs a volunteer/hospitalera in August, please let me know! For some health condition, I can't walk this year (my plan was the Camino del Norte), but I at least wanna...

    Via de la Plata in reverse (Gijón to Cádiz)

    I did the Camino Portuguese in November 2013 and it was a disaster. Wouldn't do it again. I got lost a million of times and in November I hardly met other pilgrims to ask for the way. And the people in the villages had no idea I'm talking about when I asked them. But I wasn't prepared, had no...

    Which camino fits to my criteria?

    I just checked it and yes, I think, it's too steep for me. It' also rainig a lot there next week. Right now I'm reading about the route Via Augusta Cadiz-Sevilla, 170 km. Still warm, flat, and it seems to go through a national park or something similar. No Albergues, but hostels etc.... Edit...

    Which camino fits to my criteria?

    Look amazing! But unfortunately my legs are not made for this kind of mountains...

    Which camino fits to my criteria?

    Haha, thank you, but I'm from Germany and I really don't wanna go back there, the wheather kills me...And yes, we do have a lot of places with forest in Spain, too. Maybe not the hugest forest on earth, But I remember to walk through forest on other caminos (Frances, Portugues, even on the Via...
