cybercafes

[Robert E. Spenger]

Most of the tourist office clerks know if there is a cybercafe available
and can usually provide a city map and mark the location(s) of the
cybercafe(s). I found them to be very helpful. Occasionally the term
cybercafe didn't ring a bell, but saying something about internet access
straightened it out. Other sourses of information are other pilgrims,
hospitaleros, hotel clerks, and refugio bulletin boards. Cybercafes can
be found in some rather unlikely places, even hamlets. Quality and
prices vary. The best I found was at the public library in Burgos, which
was free and had several up to date computers. Afternoons are best. In
the evening, there might be a long wait to get on a computer and the
heavy traffic on the net slows everything down.
