I walked from on May 20th 2022 from Bercianos del Real Camino to Mansilla de las Mulas and stayed at Albergue Gaia too.
Oh man ! Was it ever hot ( heat wave ) 36c in the afternoon and the Albergue Gaia was overfill with pilgrims from Tenerife and room full of 12 people , it was so hard to sleep...

Geez,… did I miss that 7/8 Euro pilgrim meal on CF ? small/medium/big town have that same pretty crummy pilgrim meal..
don’t forget French fries with every meal,..
and I paid through out Camino walk between 12/15 euros When ever I had the pilgrim meal. ( lack of choice and options at so...
@JudyWanaWander ,
I wanted to watch the movie The Way, before my Camino May/June this year, but could not find it anywhere except on Amazon to buy it for $25 . I did not buy. Hopefully some time in the future some sort of network will steam it. My two cents.
Buen Camino. 🇨🇦
@Marie O'D ,
after walking from SJPP ,I felt my tank was empty after Triacastela and decide to stay extra day in Sarria, but in the morning I felt great and was ready to move and thought it was total waste of time and money , ( without regret though) in hindsight , I should have, could have...
I’m walking for 25 days now , from SJPP . I was in Mansilla de las Mulas and it was 36c at 4 pm on Friday ( May 20) Leon yesterday 34c , today is the same and non stop Spanish parties on Sat. night near the cathedral , beautiful city but can’t wait to get out of here . No idea what to expect...
@Jeannine .. thats what I mean.. of course if allowed I will go inside the cathedral ,but,. I will pay my share , just to have a sure thing , with peace of mind that I can watch it .. removing the doubts of maybe,.. maybe not etc., Peace to All !
For one person , I think it is quite a bit of money ( 450 Euros) to pay to be inside during the Bota ceremony, but if there is organized group ( and I make it , at 72 to St James from SJPP, and the group have room for one more person) around June7/8th 2022) I will pay my share to be inside...
@trevorcc, .. did nit know that locals go that bars/restraints where mostly pilgrims go,. Beside very few local speaks English, wish I could have fluent enough to do the small talks in French /Spanish. But, Thank you ! 🇨🇦
@ C,.. Well said , Im one of those who will be standing alone , solo pilgrim, ( widower) awkwardly trying to decide about my options. But, somehow will survive the day. Cheers to all . Happy Buen camino.
