    Hospitaleros & The Pilgrim

    Hi, I worked in the pilgrims office last year for 2 weeks. You apply for a place, then fill out an application, which includes your reasons and previous experience. If you are accepted, the 2 week sessions begin on a Tuesday. I have also worked in Najera in 2013, and Alfaro in 2019. Each time...

    Very busy Semana Santa at the Santiago Pilgrim Office

    there is a possibility to select more than one Camino on the software. I think 3 is the limit to combine using the software, so we ask the pilgrims which ones they want, and which is the most important for them, so that it appears first. We have distances for every Camino available, so we can...

    Very busy Semana Santa at the Santiago Pilgrim Office

    Yesterday, I finished my 2 weeks in the office. All of your information is correct. I would add that we all worked hard to support each other on that 3000 day. I think Montse was the genius behind the rostering, we all knew the system for a week before Semana Santa. There was no panic, or no...

    Pilgrim Mass times at the Cathedral

    Hi Jo Ellen. I was at the 930am Mass a few days in a row in June and the botefumiero was used each time. I'm not sure why, I think there is a thread somewhere on the forum about it. Or maybe I read about it on the cathedral website

    The Celtic Camino - Any Advice?

    I had no problem in June 2022 with getting my Compostela at the pilgrims office. In Ireland, I walked St. Kevins Way, there is no certificate for this. The Irish Camino Society sent me a Celtic Camino certificate, when I sent them a copy of my 2 Wicklow stamps. Off I went to Galacia a week...

    Volunteering as a Hospitalera

    I was a volunteer in 2013 (Najera) and 2019(Alfaro), prompted by a compulsion to give something back in return for the hospitality which I had experienced while doing my own Caminos. And a curiosity about what I now call the 'freedom of service'. In giving without measuring or counting, I...

    Drinking water sources

    2 days ago, on the Camino Ingles in Carral albergue in Sergude I read about a project to have modern drinking water fonts every 6km. The next day I began to spot them, and used them. I think they are on the route before Sergude. Sorry, I see this information has been posted already...

    Women be aware of Miguel at San Nicolas de Puente Fitero

    You have my sympathies this evening. Your description triggers a memory of arriving here late, alone, one evening. I had intended staying at Castrojerz, but decided to continue in order to shake off a male pilgrim who was persistently following me. There was only 1 bed left and they could not...

    Cami Sant Jaume - starting in Barcelona going to Monastery de Montserrat

    Live from here in Alfaro this morning as hospitalera. The way to Santiago is easy to follow. The Ignatian Way has orange arrows, not as plentiful. Last night's one pilgrim said that he has'nt met one other pilgrim for the last ten days

    Anyone using a Drone?

    Sep 14th.I was lying on my bed, not fully dressed, on the first floor of the lovely parochial albergue in Belorado. There was a very small window at my head. At first I thought the sound was a swarm of wasps. I could'nt believe it, a very sleek white drone was buzzing the bedroom windows. As...

    Arrive Biarritz at 16:15. Can I make it to SJPdP that night?

    Hi, in 2010 I found a link on the forum to a private taxi service direct to St.Jean. My Ryanair flight arrived in Biarritz 30mins after the last train left for St.Jean. On inquiring by e-mail before I left Dublin they told me that their taxi meeting that flight was was already full.They told me...
