Stay in refugios?

[zeke00]

I am reading a book about the Camino and the author writes that the pilgrims pass allows you to stay in a refugio just one night. Is it right?

 

[William Marques]

Yes. One night only per refugio unless the warden (hospitalero/a) considers you to ill to continue.

OK. Thank you for the quick answer. But is it possible to spend a day in town and in the evening go back to the refugio (if I want to sightseeing a day)?

 

[William Marques]

No going back to the refugio, but you could stop at the closest refugio before town or the closest after often only a few km .

You will not be able to leave your backpack though so if you want a day sightseeing in Burgos or Leon it is probably best to find a cheap pension/hostal for the second night.
