No, the albergue belongs to the Real Colegiata de Santa Maria de Roncesvalles, and the prior is the final decision maker. The volunteers are all member of the 'Nederlands Genootschap van Sint Jacob' (Dutch Confraternity of Saint James), the... -
Perhaps to paraphrase: if you want a good lunch at a good price in Spain; do as the local Spanish do.

Martyduc reacted to Kathar1na's post in the thread Message from the Roncesvalles albergue - a difficult day. with Like.
But Roncesvalles is not in Galicia and not subject to Galician pilgrim albergue rules, or is it? Roncesvalles is special in many aspects. It is neither a parochial albergue nor a municipal albergue. Their "administration" or "Camino pilgrim...

A blanket statement that defies common sense - taking the fact that a person likes to reserve accommodation in advance on a Camino during busy times, and then extrapolating them to be extremists who "have to be in control of every aspect of their...

Of course we assist, but there is another problem: most taxidrivers cannot come to the albergue (on weekdays) before 4.30 / 5.00 pm because during the afternoon they are busy collecting local children from school and bring them home.

Martyduc reacted to Johnnyjenga's post in the thread Packing List Final Review. Starting in a week! :) with Like.
As regards apps, you might want to add the Mapy.cz app, especially if you are walking alone. Using the outdoor map, you will see the entire camino. Additionally, you can download the map of Spain, so you don't need wifi for real time navigation.

I do find it very hard to understand the business of going all the way to Pamplona then taking a bus through Roncesvalles and Valcarlos just to turn around and walk back the same direction! There are plenty of equally (or more) interesting views...
