Camino Portugues (April 2019)
Hi all,
My dad is currently walking on the Camino de Madrid. This will be 14th Camino ! As he's done it so many times (once every year since 2007 and 2nd time this year), he is not so bothered about getting a certificate at the end and so.... he took the credential he had from this April (he did Porto to Santiago), he didn't have any problem other than not finding albergues that are open along the way.... until today, when he was refused an entry at an albergue in Akcazaren. He was told "NO" from a French hospitalero as his credential doesn't say "Madrid Route"....
He has since heading to Valladolid and will stay at a hotel tonight. I'm just a bit shocked as I didn't realise they could be so harsh on someone who's walked over 25 km!
