So many Pilgrims when listing their experiences in Albergues , negate the donativo that they gave to the donativo Albergues -this encourages the 'Free' Albergue syndrome - hey Guys! - How much did you give?? - not pointing any fingers here :)

thanks renshaw! You are right about it.
I haven´t thought about iit before but now I have redone my listings now.

--- this is what I paid (at least, sometimes more) for the donativo:

bed and shower 5E
dinner 6- 8 E
breakfast 2- 3 E


And I hope that all the nice albergues on the donativo base will survive!!!
And I hope they can afford to maintain and fix the buildings!!!
Otherwise they maybe have to have fixed prices or close down.

buen camino

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
I still have sweet memories on the donation-box in Granon.
The writing on it:
"Leave as much as you can miss,
Take however much you need"

Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-
This is the spirit me must preserve - Granon , Tosantos,

and what about Villamayor de Monjardin - I HEAR THAT THE ROOF HAS GIVEN IN??

We should have a fund to preserve our special Albergues.
