I agree. I've stayed in Roncesvalles albergue two out of my three times on that stretch, and rather missed it the other two times.
As far as dinner goes, the food was nothing special, but the company of other pilgrims was. 😊
True. Albergue Orion should not be called Korean Albergue simply because it is popular due to its "bibimbap" dinner. However, their "bibimbap" dinner is authentically prepared by the Korean lady (Changsui), Dani's partner in the albergue.
I had been puzzling over how to make this very point, although I might call walking until one is hungry or tired more a strategy. There are other 'strategies' that I find useful because they allow me to tailor what I do next to the circumstances...
It means they won't deliver to your next place. I would only have deliveries where I make a reservation. Albergues and hotels are not reimbursed to accept and watch your bag. Many places don't take bag deliveries and some don't take reservations...
Sans is the name of main train station in Barcelona
Taking into consideration the usual " be vigilant " it is safe to walk streets in Barca. Life only starts there at 10pm :D
