Nope

I couldn't pull the trigger and stay in the finest barracks on the northern camino.

Reason 1: 
The single negative review resonated the loudest for me. It was by a guy walking by himself and just wanted a decent meal, a couple of beers and a decent nights sleep. He didn't know it was a "donativo" which means pay whatever you want and when he asked how much, they told him €15. He agreed to pay it but before dinner he was pressured into listening to a priests lecture for an hour before dinner, which was macaroni.

The thing about this review was that the other reviews said similar things but with a positive spin: 'We all paid at least €15.'  'Ricardo had us captivated with his stories before dinner.'  The first guy sounded most like me so there ya go.

Reason 2: 
Id had enough socializing for the day. I walked all day with a young Italian guy (Stefano) who is awesome but after 9 hours of socializing, I needed a break!

Reason 3:
Stefano & I walked into the town where the fantastic albergue is so we could scope out a bar to have a beer and go later to watch Real Madrid vs Juventus in the Europe Cup semifinals. We found a great place and it had a big blue "P" on the sign. That means "pensione", aka they have rooms for the night. And they're only €25. Stefano went off to find the albergue and I'm here, about to go watch Real Madrid on the big screen tv.

A couple of beers after deciding I was going to stay here tonight, a young Asian guy walked into the bar and in good English, said to the bartender (who didn't speak any English) said "One milk.  Hot please. And beer - local beer. I'm hungry. Can I have food?"  We helped him get his hot milk, beer and food. The milk was for his girlfriend waiting at a table outside. Stefano explained to the bartender that the guy wanted "*local" beer, which of course the bar didn't have. So we decided he would be happy with a Cruzcampo, because it was local enough.

The guy came back in from delivering the milk to his girlfriend and asked us if we were hikers. We told him yes and asked how he ended up in such a place. He said he and his girlfriend were also hikers, and from China. I didn't want to generalize but pointed out that his wool dress pants and sniny leather shoes made it less than obvious that he was on the camino. 

He's in the fashion business and in Europe for the expo in Milan. Snappy dresser!  

Looked happy after having a sip of his beer and asked what kind of beer it was. Stefano gave the correct answer. "Local".
