Yep. Spell check hates when I use a Spanish word and wants to change it to an English word so "buen" becomes "burn" [ did it just now! ]. Buen Camino. ...- ArkBuilder

Thank you MM!! I found it on my pfd [ of albergues ] after your above clarification. Yay. It looks REALLY nice. I hope I can "fizzle" just as I am getting to Grañón to make it easier to stay there. The "Great Room" was the only photo I could find of it on the link you provided, but I can...- ArkBuilder

Hi Margaret! Is there an official name to the "parochial albergue at Granon"? I probably can look it up but if you know the official name, I would appreciate hearing it from you. You did a wonderful job of describing the place and make it sound very enticing to visit. Just a newbie wanting to...- ArkBuilder

Hi AnniY, sure. Do a little research on the internet for each charity that you are interested in and see what they say about allowing you to list your event [ in this case walking El Camino ] on their website. This helps. Another issue, and to me the most important, is to ask them how much each...- ArkBuilder

Thank you MM! I feel like this forum is the "University of Camino" and I just started my "freshman" semester. Thank all of you "graduates" for sharing with us.

Thank you Kanga & Monk Moses! As I mentioned in another post, I wish I had studied French and Spanish in college instead of Japanese. I can not read the French and not sure what a "Gite" is. At the risk of sounding dumb, what is a "Gite"? It was difficult to learn more about the ones in your...- ArkBuilder

I know you asked Holly this question but I had the same problem and it seemed enormously confusing with everyone having different suggestions, it was "cognitive overload" for me. Finally, a very seasoned pilgrim just explained and sent me a map of Madrid-Barajas Airport showing that ALSA Bus...- ArkBuilder

~ Update: Just received an email back from Orisson Refuge [ faster than I thought or than they said on phone ]. They want you to pay 33 euros per person months in advance to hold your place. First one that wanted to be paid four [4] months in advance and is the most expensive I've seen in all...- ArkBuilder

Taozenqi, All very good ideas! Thank you! My backpack is an Osprey Aether 60 which is larger than a lot of pilgrims will carry. I purchased it because instead of strapping on a bed-role, sleeping bag, etc to the outside, I prefer to have my things all on the inside of the pack. Therefore, my...- ArkBuilder

~ Does anyone know of a hotel that is REALLY close to Madrid-Barajas Airport? I was planning on transporting my backpack [ rucksack ] by checking it in in a duffle bag. However, since its difficult to get storage in Madrid, I need to: 1) Check my backpack without putting it into a duffle...- ArkBuilder

Just called them and they said it takes "three to four days" to get a response back. You can not schedule by phone more than three days ahead. You should hear back [ same as myself ] in a few days.

Hey LesBrass! Hopefully you will still get to Finisterre. I have only 4 more days than you! Ha ha. I am anticipating that I will make it to Santiago in 42 days at the rate [ 3km/hour ] I hike. This still leaves me about 2 weeks to get to Finisterre and then back to Madrid airport to head back...- ArkBuilder
