Let me elaborate a little on my suggestion post #11 above. The sleep evaluation needs to include a decibel and duration score for each pilgrim. The albergues will either have monitoring and ejection equipment to manage pilgrims, or they will have...
I find that a shocking answer and I think you should have your ear pulled for that reaction. Consideration should come from both sides, obviously you are not of that opinion.

I appreciate all that have chimed in....apparently everyone tailors a camino to fit their own challenges/needs..... So people have provided sound advice. My challenge is 'personal perseverance' along with the challenge of overcoming the...
What annoys me most of all is those who regard and treat donativo places as free and take more than they need without paying for anything. Often seem to have plenty of money for drinking and dining though and in some cases money for public...
