    "free alberques"??

    Hi Anne, Does this mean also that there's no meals provided? I guess I'm totally out of my mind, I thought that if you stayed in these Albuergues that meals where also included in a fixed price. Do most of the albuergues have kitchen facilities and what would I need to bring from home to cook...
