I've stayed at the Albergue Santa Lucia twice (2016 and 2019) and had a pretty good experience both times. The village is pretty moribund, but the hospitalera was kind, the meal was adequate, and the bunkroom was clean. We began our walk from downtown Léon, and if I'd had a bit more energy I...
The symbol of a boat with a cross and disciples is an ancient image depicting "oneness" with Christ, and today is a symbol of ecumenical fraternity. See the image from Japanese Christian artist Sadao Watanabe below.

I'm planning a May 2019 pilgrimage from SJPdP to Santiago. I'll be flying into Barcelona, taking a cheap flight to San Sebastian and then making my way to SJPdP. My thinking is to transit from San Sebastian airport to Hendaye, train from Hendaye to Bayonne, stay overnight in Bayonne, and then...
