JustJack replied to the thread Bed race on the VDLP….Found a beautiful albergue at Baños de Montemayor. Albergue Turístico Vía de la Plata. The little town is beautiful as well. A bit of a change from the somewhat nondescript towns I’ve been stopping as so far. But it’s Monday, and once again... -
JustJack replied to the thread Bed race on the VDLP….Thanks for your input, particularly your note that you meet more people at a municipal albergue. I wasn’t aware. Unfortunately not every little town and village has a municipal albergue.

Ah, thanks for posting this. I’ve been thinking about the VdlP for a few years, and have wondered if I would experience exactly the same. Hang in there, and let us know how it goes.

You are obviously a kind and thoughtful guy Jack, that's obvious from one of your other posts. If you walk, and don't expect, then the Camino will sort things out. The magic is not always in the places you expect, and sometimes the harder you...

JustJack replied to the thread VDLP two weeks in.Cheers, I appreciate that. I firmly believe there is magic in walking. So I will continue to keep putting one foot in front of the other until I reach the end. This forum can be so helpful. Not just in terms of practical advice, but also for...
