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.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

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

Ultreia!
