[Gocamino] Arca do Pino albergue

Thu Mar 16 19:07:19 PST 2006

To Patricia Rush...
The albergue in Arca do Pino is large with several rooms that are opened up on a 'as-needed' basis, at least that's what the hospitalera told us as we entered.  The trail approaching Arca cross's the road and continues on towards Santiago.......but instead of crossing the road you turn left and walk up the road to Arca.  The albergue is on your left, it sets back off the street about 50 ft. with steps going down from the street to a patio area before reaching the front door.   We did not inquire about private accomadations but I'm sure there are some in town.
Enjoy your Camino.

Eventually you just walk, take your chances, and trust.

> Dear All--One more observation about accomodations.  When walking last September, the only full refugio we found  was in Estella; I was in pain from tendonitis and upset that we had no bed.  The hospitalero was less than helpful; he seemed to speak neither Spanish, French or English, and the other pilgrims were sympathetic but off to their showers, lunch, sightseeing.  I sat on the bench in front of the refugio while my husband (who walked with me the first week) went in search of a hotel recommended by the Confraternity guide.  He found it, it was wonderful (Let's Go rates it #1 in Estella) and we ended up staying 2 days and 2 nights, for the medieval Spanish music festival and to enjoy the life of that lovely little city.  And, to treat my tendonitis, which I did.  It was a fortuitous stop.
