One of the selection of favourite albergues......

I have been perusing the list of favourite albergues and doing some further research on t'internet.
The Youtube link attached below relates to the albergue San Juan Bautista and seeing this video I can understand why it is listed as"for quite a lot of pilgrims the best refuge on the camino". The pianist does wonders with a honky tonk piano. Is he a resident pianist or just a pilgrim passing through? Has he got an album on Amazon?

 
The 9th edition the Lightfoot Guide will let you complete the journey your way.
Pilgrim passing through, although there are many talented people, including professional and semi-pro musicians, among the pilgrims. Don't miss this albergue, nor the Pilgrims' Mass and the meditation session later in the choir loft of the ancient church -- it's a special place!
 
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.
