2018 planning to start in SJPDP en end after 20 walking days..
I am planning on a start in october for 3 weeks Camino Frances starting in SJPDP . Shall I stay overnight in Orisson or walk the whole way to Roncesvalles ?
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
Hi @Janniene

Are you "just" going to Leon or is it really however far you get? How did you find your day walking up to O Cebreiro? how far did you walk that day and how did you feel about it? This might act as guidance for decision, if it was really tough, then maybe consider stopping at Orisson. How far did you feel comfortable each day on your last Camino? I would say for most people 20 days to Leon is very doable so if that's your aim I would say there's no rush.

Sorry, more questions than answers but without knowing more the only answer I can give is "It depends".

Buen Caminio,

Rob.
 
Staying in Orisson was quite memorable for me. I was glad to break up the first day, enjoyed the accommodations, the people, the views, the food, etc. When I return next year with my girlfriend I will again stay in Orisson.
 
Prepare for your next Camino on California's Santa Catalina Island, Oct 27 to Nov 2
Up to you and your physical condition and how early or late you want to start walking that first day.
Orisson is only about 8 kilometers from Saint Jean. It really does not take very long to get there.
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

Here is a pic from 2016, I love the simplicity of the sketch map and directions "1 km climb up, 5km flat, 5km down". I wonder how the prices are now?
