Choose wisely your albergue!!!!. Regarding the rooms, you need to know that they are hot. If you are doing the Camino in spring or summer, you must be aware that the rooms aren’t comfortable unless you like the heat, and the beds are noisy.
In the restaurant, the food was pretty good but greasy. Despite all of the above, the worst thing was the service. The waiter had an accident and spilled boiling coffee on my leg and arm.

(And is there anything better than a dish of homemade lentil soup after...
