Along the way to Santiago de Compostela


	And what about the refugios! Or albergues, like they are called in Spanish. Most of them are very simple, like this Refugio de Peregrinos Itzandeguia in Roncesvalles. The refugios usually come with one or more large dormitories with bunk beds and decent washing facilities for body and clothes. Some, mostly private ones, are more luxurious (even too much so?).
