Repairing a municipal Albergue

A couple of years ago I stayed in a muni albergue just north of Pamplona. The place was a dump. Way too many issues to list, however, it appeared to be generally ran down and the single staff seamed like he was well passed the point of caring. I'm a pretty handy guy and can repair almost anything, and I'm retired, so, I have the time....and a little $$. I'd like to find an albergue that could use a little help in repairs and basically adopt it for a while. Anyone have ideas? Has anyone done this? Can you share your experiences.

Huh, lots of them but lots of interests too (private/municipal/Xunte etc..........). Your offer is so gratious.
Good luck with that!

Ultreia!
 
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.
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.
