Albergue Casa Austria in Los Arcos has it. Well, it was there in 2011. Quite usefull.
Ooooh! That would be so nice - and shorten the drying process, especially on cold, damp days!

Hello Kanga,
I seem to remember a mangle at the Isaac Santiago municipal in Los Arcos as well. This was in 2012.
It proved very useful but you had to be careful with it as I found out. I wrung my wet trousers all the way through the mangle and this had the effect of breaking my top button on my trousers and making my zip difficult to zip up (or down). I had to then try and use a safety pin to keep them fastened up.
It wasn't until I had walked to Najera and the albergue municipal adjoining the river that I found a lovely Irish hospitalera who lent me a needle and thread to sew a button back on to my trousers.
So mangles can be a blessing but they can bite!
Charlie.

This was the albergue in Los Arcos where the mangle was kept in the yard.View attachment 9781
We really appreciated the 2 centrifugal spin driers provided in the Paderborn albergue in Pamplona.
I have only come across two: at Gacelmo in Rabanal and Albergue Atziena in Tricastela.
What a difference they make - but they have to be used correctly! Anne
