    LIVE from the Camino LIVE from the Camino de Catalán

    Hi there. Hope your camino has started well. We’re in Huesca now. Are you planning to start a live thread? If so, I’m happy to post info about albergues, open bars/shops in the smaller villages etc?

    LIVE from the Camino LIVE from the Camino de Catalán

    Sure 👍. I’ll post any current information about albergues, route changes etc. one thing we’re learning to plan for is that on Mondays all bars and restaurants and often the village shop is closed. So best to bring food. Also for the municipal albergues you need to call the ayuntamiento a few...

    LIVE from the Camino LIVE from the Camino de Catalán

    We’re on the Cami Catalan now. At Linyola tonight. We’re really enjoying it - the fields are green (despite the drought), the poppies and mountain views are spectacular and local people are really pilgrim friendly. The road walking is a bit of a pain at times, but not that bad.

    Any info you can pass on about whether there are kitchen facilities in those albergues would be great. Then we’ll know whether to bring cookable food or lots of bocadillos and chocolate for those 2 days🤣

    Absolutely not 🤣

    LIVE from the Camino LIVE from the Camino de Catalán

    My notes about the section for Bolea to Sarsamacuello re availability of food (culled from various posts on this forum) are to buy food in loarre (on the way) buy lunch, dinner and breakfast for Sarsamacuello + lunch/dinner/breakfast for Ena (+ lunch for walk after Ena). On way – food/bars...

    I think the official end point is Santa Cillia?

    LIVE from the Camino LIVE from the Camino de Catalán

    Thanks for the info about the Monzón albergue being closed. We’ll book somewhere 👍

    LIVE from the Camino LIVE from the Camino de Catalán

    I just called the apartment in Linyola to see if the apartment was taken on my dates ( booking said it was full). The very friendly person I spoke to asked me to call back tomorrow to confirm. Relevant to you is that she mentioned that they also have a single room which is separate from the...

    We’ll be there next week. Your posts are really informative. Much appreciated. Can you post the number for the police station and any other info re accessing the albergue when you’ve arrived. Buen camino y muchísimas gracias.

    A Route like the VdlP?

    We We did the Lana in May 2022 and loved it. We started in Alicante and finished in Burgos. We met only 2 other pilgrims in the 4 weeks that we walked. There were albergues along the way - very rarely used ones so you had to call a day or two ahead to let them know you were coming and where...

    Available to Volunteer 4/2024

    Hi Rae. You can also volunteer at on of the many donativo albergues around Spain managed by Hospitaleros Voluntarios (HosVol). You’ll need to take a short training course in US first. Check out the American Pilgrims on the Camino group for more information.

    Concrete on Ruta de Lana

    To be honest if you’re planning to walk in early Spring or Winter I think the mud could be more of an issue than concrete.

    Concrete on Ruta de Lana

    We walked the Lana last year. There’s a little bit of road walking - small back roads - as you walk out of Alicante on the first day. After that it was mainly on rural paths except when you reached a small town or village.

    Xunta municipal albergues cameras do not work (another stolen phone incident)

    Personally I would never stay in an albergue that had cameras in the dorms. A dormitory is a private place where people get changed and sleep and it is not appropriate for this to be monitored or filmed. I feel sympathy for this pilgrim, but it is the responsibility of individual pilgrims, not...

    Have albergues stopped providing blankets since 2019?

    Yes - that is correct. It is suitcases that some Albergues are refusing as per recent policy - not backpacks.
