Hi Ray, they do not accept bookings and so far we have not filled the albergue (middle of july) Im pretty sure by these days you will easily find a bed here.
Buen Camino!!
Hi Natasha, SYates is right, I applied in november and made a training course in Logroño in February, then, they deploy you to an Albergue based on your preferences and their needs.
Ultreia!

All the best for you, Ultreia!!!
Hi u all again!! back on the way!
Well Hedi if you do decide to walk the levante one, if you need any kind of help when getting close to Toledo, I will be more than happy if I can help you and your husband here at my kingdom (Yep, Toledo is mine :p)
Do not hesitate to ask for any assistance...
Hi again Sebastian (sorry for not trying to type your name in your Mother language but I dont know if my keyboard allows it)
It is very weird, since there are about 600 kms from Valencia to Zamora. May your software have any bug or something in that way?
There is quite normal (as you know since...
My pleasure of course! I learnt a lot from you and additionally had fun, so... Perfect afternoon!
It was a pity not to have more time to share due to my job's issues but I am sure that there will be a re-round :p:p.
Ultreia!!!!
(keep my number just in case you need anything)
Hi namesakeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ! ;) I do agree with you, other seasons apart from summer are (IMHO) better to walk the Camino, also different tracks, not only Frances, but as an example ( my favorite one) Primitivo ( my first primitivo was made with snow). As I said before, in my first post, I...
You will agree that it is not about experience or how many times has anyone walked the way but about feelings and behavior. I do like sharing steps meals and chats with other pilgrims, I do love those after-dinner moments at Albergues and all of those Camino stories but on the other hand, I...
Hi you all!
I have both walked/biked the way up to 12 times and this summer will do again twice.
I have known the french one, the primitive, Northern, Sanabres, plata, Fisterra & Muxia, Levante... and this is the first year that the idea of leaving the camino has popped up in my mind.
It is...
Hi you all pilgrims! I am Roberto, living in Toledo, a great city in the center of Spain.
I have already done 12 caminos and this summer will complete another 2.
I use to go biking along Sureste and Levante caminos near Toledo, re-painting arrows, checking potentially hazardous areas and so...
More news... I have been in a pharmacy and they told me that you can purchase it (w/o prescription) if you pay the full price, 46,97 euros Novorapid and 78,52 Levemir.
If you do have the prescription it is about 5 euros each...
They told me that you have to check if there is any agreement...
Hi you all!!!
Please do not miss the opportunity of a chat with any oldman sharing a cup of wine they are the voice of the experience and they provide us some ideas comparing the "old" and "new" camino.
But not only old people, although we, the Spaniards are not perfect Shakespeare's language...
As far as I have been told, you do need a Spanish doctor's prescription.
The reason is a burocratic issue. You can get the european health card and with your doctor report, a Spanish one would give you the prescription without any problem.
I will investigate this option deeper and will give you...
Hi Anna, it depends on the location and season but it seems to be "cancios de chigre", popular party in Asturias, where several groups go singing from bar to bar.
The most famous type is "toná" a tipical Asturian song.
Check toná:

Cheers!
