A few days ago we stayed in the private albergue in Caravia. We felt that the hospitalero in every way tried to get money of her guests and so make profit of the fact that the Albergue in La Isla is closed.
Trying to bill drinks twice, making problems if people tried to share the washing/drying machine and so on.l
The worst was that the Peregrino who made a reservation for us, was asked to give his creditcardnumber ( which in itself is strange)
We all paid cash, but the money for three beds was also charged to the credit card.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
the Peruvian Bar Albergue who owns the hostel only thinks about money when a pilgrim appears, her goal is to make money, she makes 100,000 things at the same time but leaves the counter unattended to do anything that gives her more money, I ordered the menu at 3 o'clock and until 4.30 pm she did not bring me the menu, she does not let you share the washing machine with other pilgrims commenting that the drum is small, which is not true, she made me pay for the bed in advance but I had some negative comments she expelled me from the albergue , this albergue is still under construction and looks like a stable of horses, regards antonius

Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Elevation map shows this is really steep! What’s the best way from downtown Hondarribia up there? Then wish me luck on the Purgatorio—I am a nervous wreck.
My group of six arrives in Irun on May 20 and we're starting our Camino on May 21. Since it's the beginning of the busy season, I'm wondering if we should order trekking poles from Amazon Espana...
