... and since we are doing this mostly for me, I will like to make his travel the most confortable possible...
About once a week I checked into a three or four star hotel along the way and soaked in a bathtub. I know that purists think this is sacrilege, but if you husband wants to occasionally stand in a steaming hot shower for 20 minutes without having a line of angry pilgrims waiting on him, you will have plenty of opportunities to book the occasional hotel. For example, there are Parador hotels in Santo Domingo, Leon, Villafranca, and Santiago. I highly recommend them all. Buen Camino
we also stayed in the Leon Parador (just not the real fancy room like in the movie). It was a real treat!! Lovely architecture and history in that building
Do look out for special deals at the Paradors.

Seriously, anyone who spends more than five minutes in a shower in an albergue is pretty selfish. Also remember that (apart from in Galicia) Spain is short of water.
Reminds me of my father in the late 1950s. We had an instant electric hot water system, with a meter box over the entrance door. If any of the family (Mum excluded) started taking too long he'd time us and after 5 minutes switch off the power. The shock of a rush of cold water is very effective training!Oh, I agree 100%!
It's hard to be in line for a shower and someone is in there using up the hot water for 20 minutes, totally self-absorbed. I know it feels good, but the rest of us would like a shower too? Makes me wish I had the power to turn off the hot water and give them a surprise!
