    Possible closing of the Albergue de Peregrinos, Emaus

    I wrote to the Bishop of Burgos about Emaus and I received the following reply: "El arzobispo de Burgos agradece su amable correo y le comunica que, también para nosotros sería estupendo tener el albergue abierto. Pero dificultades económicas serias de la parroquia no nos permiten, a día de...

    Possible closing of the Albergue de Peregrinos, Emaus

    I’m not quite sure. The former priest was recently reassigned to a new parish in Burgos and his assistant who helped establish the albergue decided it was time for her to retire. As I understand it originally some Franciscan Friars were going with take over the albergue, however the Archdiocese...

    Possible closing of the Albergue de Peregrinos, Emaus

    Actually it says they do not know if it will open 1 April 2024. Apparently the Archdiocese is studying the issue.

    Possible closing of the Albergue de Peregrinos, Emaus

    I recently learned that the Archdiocese of Burgos is contimplating closing the Albergue de Peregrinos EMAUS in Burgos. This will a real shame as it is a wonderful respite for pilgrims to stop and find a warm Christian welcome, a communal meal, and a place where they can relax to regain strength...

    11 May 2023 Lalin to Bandeira. What can I say? Walked about 21 km. Weather was a little cool starting out - just the way we like it. Left the hotel around 7:30, walked down the street to a bar and had coffee and toast. Walked to A Laxe and had another coffee. There were 3 of us pilgrims in the...

    8 May 23 - Chantada to Hotel Vilaseca in Penasillás - 8.61 Kms. We started from Chantada. Since yesterday was Sunday and Mother’s Day in Spain, no stores were open so we will wait until they open today at 9:15 to get provisions for the next couple of days. There was a lot of street noise outside...

    7 May we started in Monforte de Lemos to Chantada. The Parador was a nice break but disappointing. The dinner was very ordinary and the service below par to other paradors we stayed at. Breakfast was very good in the parador - as always. We had an issue checking out as they charged us 100€ to...

    6 May 23 - Pension Pacita, Barxa de Lor to Monforte. Great meal last night and great sleep! Woke up to rain. The Sr Jose graciously offered to drive us (and the other pilgrims)to O Proba. He left us at the Cafeteria/Bar Avenida which opened at 9:00 so we waited outside for about 10 minutes...

    5 May 23. Today we walked from Quiroga to Barca de Lor, about 19 KMs. First we saw 10 pilgrims getting ready to leave this morning. According to all we read this was going to be a very hard day. It was hard but not like we thought. The walk out Quiroga was rather uneventful, flat and all on...

    No we stayed in A Rua at the Casa Rural Pacio do Sil. Our bodies are barely cooperating but we are slugging through it as best we can. When we were leaving in the morning we were offered a ride to Soldón which gladly accepted.

    There was a thunderstorm where we stayed last night. Lots of wind and thunder and rain. We left early this morning after a very nice breakfast. Today’s walk was very good, but long and hard. Highlight for us was going over a medieval bridge in the middle of nowhere and the only sounds were the...
