I stayed here during my Camino in 2022. Thank you for your service to me and all the other peregrinos that enjoyed your hospitality! Best wishes in your next adventure! Buen Camino!
After many years of hosting our beautiful albergue Luz de Frómista succesfully, we have decided it is time for a new phase in our live. That is why we are going to sell our albergue (about 240 square meter) and appartment (about 140 squaremeter)...
I did this as well. It was perfect. Watched my US football games and shared out to smart tv. Never had to worry about a thing. Just figured on $100 per month for two months. Great coverage with their international partners which was mainly...
I brought a hiking/ camping pillow (lightweight and packable) on the Frances but stopped using it after a while. Most (all?) albergues provide a pillow. I carried a super lightweight sleeping bag that had the outside treated with permethrin, so...

When I was 27/28 I asked God to send me a man: named Ken (to my Barbara/Barbie), 6’2”, 190lbs, single, well-educated, never-married, no children.
When I was 40 on my second camino I met him in Roncesvalles at the pilgrim’s dinner. He lived on...
I never liked liners...they always seemed to bunch up on me - just get a good pair of socks and that's it. My go to now is Darn Tough - they make several different thicknesses and heights. Theyre not cheap but really do the job and have an...
