    San Anton albergue (Castrojeriz) closes till further notice

    I LOVE San Antón! I have stayed there as a pilgrim and was a hospitalero last summer and had hoped to be there this summer. I understand the reasoning and think that Ovidio, while making what must have been a hard decision, is doing the right thing. He must be heartbroken. I am hoping that...

    Is pre-booking accommodation the new normal?

    I was a hospitalero at San Antón for the first quincena of June. During the 15 nights I was there, we were only full 1 night. There were at least 3 people per day who came in to visit the ruins and were awestruck (as was I on my Camino, hence why I go back to volunteer) and would have stayed...

    Advice on getting two beds at San Anton convent

    Didn't know about the housing for hospitaleros. Thanks for that bit of news, Rebekah. I am so looking forward to getting there. And, to being there for two weeks.

    Advice on getting two beds at San Anton convent

    Greetings! If you are a day or two behind your schedule, my partner and I will be your hospitaleros at San Antón. We will be there for the first quincena of June. I also fell in love with the place when I walked the Camino in 2016 but didn't stay there. In 2019 Rosy and I biked the Camino...

    Orisson Albergue

    Does CF feel like a crowded theme park now?

    Agree with most of what has been written. I did the CF in Aug/Sept, 2018 from SJPP to Santiago. There was literally one night when I had a bit of trouble finding place to stay that I liked, and that was 42 km from Santiago. Last year I was a hospitelero in Granon in May. Some pilgrims talked...

    Running the Camino

    Greetings OC. And, in particular greeting from a fellow Pilgrim, runner, ultra runner, ultralight backpacker and fast packer. Last August and September I did the CF in 26 days. Two of those days were 42 K plus, which you will recognize as a marathon. NEVER did I feel like I was rushing...

    CF in 26 days?

    Greetings. As it turned out, I walked the Camino in exactly 26 days, ending last Sept 7. I had not planned to do so. In fact, some of my goals were to slow down, enjoy people, enjoy the time in Spain, take time to meditate, etc. I did some research and had to hiking plans, one more...
