Same Albergue 12 months later?

Time of past OR future Camino
April (2013)
April/May 2014 (planned and booked).
I'm intending to return to Burgos (in May 14) to continue my Camino (April 13), but will be arriving late afternoon. Should I book a hotel room or can I stay at the same Albergue that I stayed in when I finished my first section? I did search for this info but couldn't find it so sorry if it's a repeat.
many thanks
Annie
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
...if there is still place left in the late afternoon...
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-

Annie,

You can use the same credential. Make sure you get another sello when you restart at the same Town. The sello can be from anywhere in the same town/city.

Good luck. Buen camino and god bless.

While that makes for a nice souvenir, it is only necessary in the last 100km to show continuity, and only then if you want a compostela. Until the last 100km getting sellos is optional. While the credential is required for admission to many albergues, the sellos are not. You may encounter the occasional hospitalero who wants to know now far you walked that day, so looks at the previous sello, but that is a personality quirk. It can be dealt with by offering an explanation that you forgot to get the stamp, or just move on to the next albergue. ;)
 
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.
sometimes it´s not a quirk. In some albergues they keep better statistics, and where you started that day is sometimes part of that -- often in scenic or vacationer-popular places like Luarca or Corcubion, where they deal with those who go slooowly and want to just hang out in the area while paying minimal charges. Like one hospitalera told a person who had walked all of five kilometers to get there: "You are a pilgrim. A pilgrim walks."

(I have seen these records kept in Villalon de Campos (on the Madrid) Miraz, and in Orense, too.)
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
