I will answer your questions and put some photos online tomorrow in the "WiFi hour" from 6 to 8pm. This hospitalera needs some sleep now ;-)Hi, Luka,
What a great bit of serendipity! I hope you enjoy your stay and your new life as a "volunteer and digital nomad." (What exactly is a digital nomad?)
When I walked by in June, the albergue part of this eco-lodge-spa had not yet opened. It looks to be quite snazzy. Can you explain a little about this place? Buen camino, Laurie
It looks like the owner has Belgian ancestors on one side:@Luka : so happy to read. Enjoy the volunteering.
Do keep us posted..if you have the time of course. Will be very busy I guess?
So the next morning I was preparing breakfast for my fellow pilgrims! I will stay here till about the 10-12th of August. The Camino provides
Tremendous project and labour of love as I expect they will never recover much if any of that expenditure as a donativo.@Luka I just looked at their video and Facebook page:

What a tremendous project!
Hey Luka, thanks for the tip! I'll hopefully be seeing you around the 1st!Yesterday I packed my backpack, walked out of Poo de Llanes for another stage on the Camino, wondering what to do. In the afternoon I arrived at the wonderful albergue Posada del Andayón in Cuerres. The house is so incredibly beautiful! It's a place where you want to stay. And as a matter of fact they could use the help of a hospitalera...

The day before yesterday I got the feeling that my Camino was finished. It was day 16 on the Norte, still far away from Santiago. I walked this Camino to mark a change in my life: from an office job in Amsterdam to a life as a volunteer and digital nomad on the Spanish countryside. And that day I felt I was ready to start with my nomad life.

Oh oh, found a deal breaker in the photo Luka posted: "ventanas cerradas"!Clearly this owner has been living in Spain for too long and has forgoten the importance of fresh air during the night.
But her signs says no windows open.Actually if you read more about passive housing you will see opening windows is ok but only under certain circumstances.

And that looks like gazpacho to me - yummy, perfect summer food!
I'm raising a glass in your honor, LT -- the woman who introduced me to "gazpacho in a box." And I even remember where it was -- in Cervera on the Cami Catala. I had it many times on the Norte this year, always refreshing, always cheap, and probably better for me than many of the supermarket alternatives.
I have tasted two, the one from Dia, found in the refrigerator, and another, in a single portion tetrapack kept on the shelf. I really enjoyed the Dia gazpacho, the other one was, well, really something I forced myself to finish: very orange, very smooth and just not quite right.But not all "gazpachos in a box" are equal. The best variety is almost €4 a pack versus the Día alternative.
