Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

I want to have 3 months of the Hospitallers. Where to go, where learning?

Hi Natasha, SYates is right, I applied in november and made a training course in Logroño in February, then, they deploy you to an Albergue based on your preferences and their needs.

Ultreia!

Hi Roberto,
I a maltese pilgrim who will be walking the Camino Frances this September/October and I plan to stay at Samos monastery on the 4th October. I have already contacted the monastery albergue via their website however did not receive any reply. This could be that I* wrote in English.
Do you know by chance if they accept reservations as I am very keen to stay there ? Does the albergue get filled quickly or normally there are beds available.
I hope I will be able to meet you if you are still there by the time I arrive.
Kind regards,
Ray Aquilina,
Malta
 
Hi Ray, they do not accept bookings and so far we have not filled the albergue (middle of july) Im pretty sure by these days you will easily find a bed here.
Buen Camino!!
 

Thank you Roberto and I hope to meet you there.

Roberto, greetings I am from Canada and did my hospitalero training with the Candian pilgrims in London Ontario. Would that suffice to be a hospitalero in Samos? let me know how I can become one. thanks.
