Forecast was rain and more rain, however St. James was kind – we didn’t too wet. Along the way we met Judy and David from Ottawa and Cesar.
We talked and talked and before we realized we had reached our destination. Judy, David and Cesar were continuing onto Padron but we were staying in the municipal Albergue Walga.
Municipal Albergues are run by the city and this one has 3 dormatories and 75 beds. Maria was on duty and she put the seniors in one room and the young people in another room.
This is €8 per person and you get a bit of bedding. That is it. There are private Albergues that cost a bit more for bedding and provide a dinner and breakfast. For the food it is donation, hopefully everyone gives from the heart.
One of the best parts of the Camino is meeting pilgrims from so many different countries, different ages, at different stages in life, walking for different reasons but all having one goal in mind – to get to Santiago de Compostela.
Buen Camino
