Ah, the shoe rack! A most common sight to pilgrims staying in albergues as an attempt to control the amount of dirt and mud that could easily enter the sleeping areas. Many albergues ask you to leave your shoes/boots in a designated area outside the sleeping quarters. In this way, particularly after a muddy day on the trail, the floors of the albergue stay reasonably clean. At the new Albergue Corredoiras in Padron, group lockers accommodated our dirt-laden shoes as we eagerly slipped into our sandals for an easy stroll around town after a long day of hiking.
