[QUOTE="J Willhaus, post: 1216287, member: 41003"] I said this on another thread, but there a sort of parallel universe on the Camino. There are the private albergues and hotels with ability to make reservations and there are pay for use services such as bag transport, buses, taxis, etc. The other universe is still the traditional side where pilgrims with less means and for those of us who enjoy a simpler experience are making the journey. Donativos are often quite simple with perhaps only a mat on the floor although most where we volunteer have bunk beds. There may not be a washer or dryer for pilgrim use, but there is always a place to wash clothes and either a drying line or a drying rack. Pilgrims often prepare meals or eat food left behind by others the day before (so little is wasted) or from groceries purchased on a tight budget. There may be an organized communal meal or pilgrims may join together to create one. Reservations and bag transport services are not accepted or possible. We often have no phone. There may not be wifi or it may be very limited. There is no tv. The bathrooms and showers may be limited. If you are looking for luxury and services you may not find it. Usually there is a guitar and pilgrims can entertain themselves with singing or journaling or reading or chatting with each other. At some there will be an opportunity at attend pilgrim mass or a shared time of reflection (never mandatory). At all, you should feel the love and care of people who volunteer because they love the Camino and pilgrims. [/QUOTE]
