LIVE from the Camino Valcarlos

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.
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.
To reserve the Valcarlos municipal albergue see
http://www.luzaide-valcarlos.net/.

When you arrive at 'the center' of Valcarlos by the church and in front of the municipal offices you will see a large sign for the albergue. In the municipal building go upstairs to the Secretary's office to obtain the digicode to open and enter the nearby albergue door. The hospitalero comes by about 6pm.

Do be aware that from Valcarlos upto Roncesvalles there are no services nor water. Be prepared!

We received the code from the bar/supermarket. New schedule for the hospitalero says 1900 and 2100. It is 2000 and no one yet.
 
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.

I can attest to that. On my first Camino in July of 2013 I walked the ValCarlos route. I did not know there was no more water from that point and by the time I was near Roncesvalles I was very, very thirsty. So thirsty that I drank from a fountain marked "non potable" that is a few kilometers from Roncesvalles. I was so thirsty I didn't care. I did not suffer any ill effects but I don't recommend it.
