Description

On Spain's ancient Camino de Santiago pilgrimage trail, volunteer innkeepers called hospitaleros care for pilgrims and manage the inns along the route. This is a quick book--a pamphlet, really--that explores the spirit of innkeeping and the countless choices every innkeeper must make.

And it's not just for innkeepers. Anyone who volunteers will find it useful.
