Hey all, I just got my assignment yesterday. I will be serving as a hospitalera in Santo Domingo de la Calzada from October 16-31, 2011. If any of you stay there during that time, please say hello! I'll be wearing my Canadian hospitalera bandana proudly!! (I went through training in Canada even though I am American :) It was a great experience.)

I'm planning to fly in/out of Madrid. Still working out details for spending extra time in Spain.

Thanks!

2024 edition: The Brierley Camino Frances Guide
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 would have liked to do it this summer, but airfare is KILLING me right now! October also worked better as far as vacation time goes. I'm trying to figure out if we will go to Bilbao or Madrid after serving. I am also interested in Portugal too. I'd like to spend a week seeing some of the things I didn't have time to last time. There's also a part of me that wants to walk along the Camino again for a bit. Or maybe go to SDC and finally walk to Finisterre....so many choices!

Cool! I hope to see you. I wonder how busy it will be at that time of year.
 
Congratuations on your assignment! That was my favorite alburgue, I remember the Canadian hospitaleros well. If I ever go through training that would be at top of my list, also somewhere in Galicia would be great to serve.
Altreya,
Barry
