    News from the Camino

    By the way, I read some fair and interesting comments on another thread begun by someone regarding the "€12,000 fine" reported here. Sadly, as usual, there were also a couple of patronizing and frankly rude comments too. And a slanderous one. I wish people would realize how they come across...

    News from the Camino

    I'm happy to hear Tomas is back greeting pilgrims up at Manjarín. Many (myself included) assumed he was no longer active up there.

    News from the Camino

    My first SPRINGTIME days on the Camino Francés 🎉 A couple of interesting tidbits. I just left Foncebadón yesterday. See photo. By the way, it's really not busy at all on my "wave". Plenty of spare beds. 1) I passed Manjarín. It was a beautiful, clear and mild morning. Tomás (looking in fine...

    Need help to stay away from rocky trails

    ...boulders. (The boulders seem to get cleared away into piles from time to time.) #3. The descent into El Acebo, which is west of Manjarin which is itself west of Foncebadón. Steep narrow path, unstable loose rocks and stones. I find it difficult to walk that section. Possible #4. When I...

    Atypical/memorable albergues on Camino Francés?

    Casa de Jesus in Vilar de Mazarife has a ship of some kind in the yard and is a very nice albergue. I have fond memories of my stay there. Not sure if that is the one you are referring to.

    Albergue with the pirate ship is Albergue de Jesús in Vilar de Mazarife.

    Atypical/memorable albergues on Camino Francés?

    Oh. I feared as much. What happened to Tomás, do you know? :-(

    Atypical/memorable albergues on Camino Francés?

    I stayed at both of these way back in 2009 and they were both great and very special. We had one of our most joyous evenings at Manjarin. I don't think it's open anymore, though. There used to be a really cool albergue that had a pirate ship. Does anyone remember which one that is and if it's...

    Atypical/memorable albergues on Camino Francés?

    A 'must' stay (imo) is in Grañon, albergue San Juan Bautista and also, although I have never stayed there, Manjarin, albergue Tomás :)

    Shirley Maclaine - The Camino - Swimming place

    ...historical point of view: There is a sello from Molinaseca among the stamps, dated 27/6/94, preceded by stamps from Gaucelmo in Rabanal and Manjarin and followed by Ponferrada - the massive sello of the AACS Friends of the Camino association who attended to several refugios in the region at...

    The same general neck of the woods, in 2015: The ancient heather was fantastic.

    On the Camino: One Day at a Time, one Photo at a Time 11.0

    From 2006, a scene that spoke to me of home colours. Very close to Manjarin.

    Article about the recent death of Salvador - hospitalero at Ave Fénix

    Well worth the read. May he rest in peace.

    Article about the recent death of Salvador - hospitalero at Ave Fénix

    ...at various times a hospitalero in Ave Fénix in Villafranca del Bierzo. An eccentric man in an eccentric place. Some mention of Jesus Jato, Tomas of Manjarin and Don Blas of Fuenterroble too...

    Cowboy Bar

    ...open. So maybe (or likely) this is the case. My theory last year was, that the owner just opens when he feels like it. Like the Elvis bar in Reliegos or Manjarin (to some point). But usually a rarely open establishment becomes a never open establishment at some point. So i wouldn't get my...

    4-week experience of being a Hospitalero

    I also stayed at San Anton, Anniesantiago. Marina was there when I stayed. That's terrible news about the previous Hospitalero. Was he killed in that high-speed train crash? I think it was either heading toward or from Santiago. I also loved the Italian Confraternity and Hospitalero at San...

    4-week experience of being a Hospitalero

    This made me laugh because the owner of the albergue, where I served, said that I could turn away anyone who I had a bad feeling about (it only happened once). There was a municipal albergue in the town so the pilgrim would have had a second option. I was also reminded of the Soup Nazi on...

    4-week experience of being a Hospitalero

    I also have fond memories of Manjarin. I stayed there for one night on my first pilgrimage walk on the Camino Frances (about 12 years ago). Tomas was all decked out in his Templar attire, together with another Hospitalero. They cooked us dinner and we ended up sleeping out back in one of the...
