Thanks for the plug for the hospitaleros!! Worked in Refugio Gaucelmo at Rabanal last 2 weeks of May this year and going again end of June next year. It's often called the 'English' refugio and is run by the CSJ; they usually ask that the volunteer hospitaleros/as have done some of the pilgrimage and therefore they hopefully are able to appreciate the needs of pilgrims.sillydoll said:And, many hospitaleros display these same attributes

probably because they do that in the rest of their lifebrendan nolan said:I often wonder why some pilgrims spend so much time 'disapproving' of others
One of the things I like about the concept of pilgrimage, like many of the more interesting things in life, is that it can be interpreted at a number of different levels, historical, cultural, metaphoric, physical, spiritual . . . One thing I regret about 'The Camino' now as opposed to 20 years ago, when there were few pilgrims and no rules, is that it's become rather formulaic, bound up in spurious 'rules' about what 'pilgrims' should do and how they should think, how they should start at a particular point, follow a particular route, overnight in particular places, etc, etc. If people enjoy this or find it meaningful, that's fine by me, but it seems to me to be missing the larger picture.brendan nolan said:'Pilgrimage' is an attitude of mind towards life
