Non Albergue accommodation

[sriyantra]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if there is any private accommodation after San Juan de Ortega and before Burgos e.g. Ages or Atapuerca? We booked our flights from Australia last Saturday for the 1st September so I am trying to do some planning given my "Miracle Man" husband will be limited in the daily distance he can do. He is "Miracle Man" because he couldn't walk for months last year but in September after a huge spinal reconstruction operation he is now walking 15ks 3 times a week to accompany me on the Camino Frances! We just need to do some thinking about our stops and have phone numbers handy. Thanks heaps to everyone who has given me advice and support over the last few months.

The albergue San Rafael in Ages apparently has at least one private room. The albergue El Peregrino in Atapuerca apparently has private rooms. There is a rural casa in Atapuerca, the Papasol, that has private rooms. And the Hotel Buenos Aires is located on the far eastern edge of Burgos.

You might like to get a copy of the 2014 Miam Miam Dodo guide for the Camino Frances - it lists ALL accommodation within 5 km of the track, casa rurals (bed and breakfasts), hostels, hotels, private and public albergues, youth hostels, camping, the lot. Plus prices, phone numbers for reservations, and local taxi numbers. It's in French but very easy to understand. I don't think any of the English guides cover all accommodation.

PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong, fellow caminoists!

It can be purchased from the Confraternity website but that doesn't tell you much about it - have a look at the publishers site:

The hospitalera does a great job, and the food is good. Stay in the main building, not the albergue.

Thank you Annie. A$44,000 of titanium inserts, but from the minute he came around from the anaesthetic he was so positive and we both really started living in gratitude. In the movie "The Way" it is said that "they say miracles happen out here" and "miracles are in short supply" - we feel like we have been given a miracle and the Camino will be a way of giving thanks. After 44 years of marriage the Camino planning is bringing us back closer again like we were before children, work, mortgages etc. All good. Sriyantra

Hi sriyantra... if you are on facebook at all, would you like to join my group: Australian Pilgrims on the Camino de Compostella.......we are only a newish group, but there are already a lot of supportive folk who are members and we are gradually building up a list of links and hints for the Camino.
Cheers and very best wishes to you both as you plan this wonderful journey together....susanawee.

Buen Camino.
