    The beautiful hermitage of San Nicolás, next to the Fitero Bridge, has been wonderfully rehabilitated as a hostel by an Italian association, from Perugia, which maintains the ancient ritual of foot washing.

      Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, to whom this hermitage was dedicated, is one of the most popular saints of all, along with Saint Martin. Almost every child - not only in German-speaking countries but far beyond - should know his commemoration day, December 6th.

      On the eve of this day, the children used to put their shoes or boots in front of the door - which of course had to be cleaned with great care - so that they could be filled with gifts by St. Nicholas during the night. In more agricultural areas, it was also customary for the children to provide a small amount of food for the donkey, St. Nicholas' riding animal (according to another tradition, this was a white horse).

        Lovely old hermitage converted to an albergue, but quite remote and few beds
