Yes, it's at this point that you truly discover that Brierley is just teasing you like a child, rather than an adult who has bought the book in good faith thinking it might be a 'guide'. He has obviously decided that to get yourself into his idea of 'pilgrim mode' you should walk 30+ kms over a hill to Roncesvalles then another 27kms just to find somewhere with no food. It's patronising, unnecessary and totally ridiculous. Then he suggests you miss one of the most fantastic cities in Spain (Pamplona) to go onto Cizur Menor. Why?Thornley said:It was after this town that many young pilgrims discarded Brierleys book and took pot luck.
They were very wise.
A German peregrina offered me a Marlboro the next morning. One of the more memorable cigarettes of my life.johnlewis said:P.S. @tyrrek - how annoying was that with the lack of tobacco!?
It generally is. My guide to the Camino Finisterre is actually the 2013 edition (??!!).migolito said:As far as the guide, its just a guide and can't really be updated annually.
quote="LieutCol.Ret."]Dear Colleagues,
Regarding to Larosoana I can write we stayed there one night in the Municipal Albergue. It took place on May 1, 2012. Nothing special to report about that Albergue. We stayed at the upper floor four men room. I mean two Russian and two Irish pilgrims were billeted in that room with two bunk beds. Albergue was neither very clean nor dirty. It was, let us say, in acceptable conditions. I haven’t heard any complaint from other pilgrims. The Hospitaller was the young local guy about 22 years old. He was very polite and his behavior was very friendly. When there appeared a queue to the upper floor shower room he came upstairs and showed us where two more shower cabins were at the ground floor.
