[Gocamino] New albergue

[blaroli at aol.com]

Hello you all,

The Galician newspapers keep reporting that the Camino Frances albergues have been pretty full since May.... and that larger numbers of pilgrims are expected in July and August.
Therefore,?it is good to know?that a new albergue has been opened in the town of VILLAMBISTIA, (5 kms. after Tonsanto and 3 kms. before Villafranca); the albergue is locaated right by the new Town Hall building and its phone number is 680-394-585.
Two erstwhile Brasilian pilgrims, Carmen & Erisvaldo, run the albergue which has 16 spaces, showers, heat, porch and, Brasilians being Brasilians, i'm sure it?counts with computer facilities.
The charge is 5 Euros and there?is a communal?dinner for a donation.?

-These communal dinners seem to be a Brasilian thing.? My parish in New York City has a Brasilian Mass on Sundays and afterwards a pretty good home-cooked lunch, (which the Brasilian parishioners cook and bring), and of which anyone can partake.?At the end of the buffet table there is a?box for "donations". The food is typically Brasilian and excellent, topped by coconutty desserts and that cafe espresso of theirs.
No caipirinhas, though? (sigh!).?....-

Fegards,

Rosina?
