ALBERGUE

- Albergues are pilgrim's hostels which occurs every 10-20 km along the Camino.
- It will make hiking much easier. Pilgrim doesn't need to carry a tent, cooking equipment or sleeping bags while traveling.
- NEED a pilgrim passport to stay in Albergue.
- Some Albergues are warm and cozy, some are old buildings that lack any atmosphere, some have washing machines, but mostly it will have to be done by hand.
- Most town's there will be a bar that serves the Menu del Peregrino (pilgrim's menu), which is cheaper.
