    LIVE from the Camino Current big wave at beginning of Francés

    As a person who books those nefarious ‘tour groups’ each year, let me assure you that we are NOT the ones taking up albergue beds! The people booking in groups are often older or retired and do not WANT to sleep in a room with others. They want their own room and bathroom when possible. And so...

    Alert Theft at Roncesvalles

    That’s what the three young people believed about the “nice older lady pilgrim” who they walked from Zubiri with, and who told them she would watch their stuff while they showered - only to return to find their cash and cards stolen and their Camino over in Pamplona. Nobody has had a bad...

    Guardia Civil returning lost passports to owners

    We got the “bird poop” scam in Barcelona. I had just read about it on the Rick Steves website or it would have worked. I was SHOCKED that the culprit was a well groomed gentleman in a business suit! I read that site before each trip to hear the latest, now.

    Lost and found

    I lost my temper on my first Camino years ago. It was on the Meseta and I took my wooden walking stick - like those they sell all along The Way - and beat it on a boulder, as hard as I could! The danger thing REFUSED to break! I felt better except for a sore hand and was happy there were no...

    Most lodging in Pamplona will accept backpacks

    Lost & Found Take care of your gear!

    And those items should be in a money belt of some sort attached to your body at all times except for showering, at which time the belt should go into the shower with you in a waterproof bag.

    Hospital de Orbigo

    I have always stayed in albergues right in the center of Hospital de Orbigo but this year we stayed on the outskirts in a hotel called El Paso Honroso. For €50 I have a nice clean room with three beds and a BATHTUB!!! Also, even if you do not stay here, if you’re looking for a great Menu del...

    Who owned this Albergue?

    It was full last night and we sure did enjoy it! The food was great and the host was wonderful.

    Who owned this Albergue?

    It seems I remember there was someone on this forum who owned the Albergue on the right hand side of the road just before you turn left to go to Albergue Jesus in Villar de Mazariffe. That place is now called Albergue San Antonio de Padua. Am I dreaming?

    Unfortunate, but true...

    I take my groups on a 3 week itinerary that you might find interesting. Maybe you can do some version of it. It hits the major cities. You start out and SJPP and go over the Pyrenees and you do the last 100 K Santiago. You can find the rough itinerary at this link. PS: I am not fishing for...

    Lost & Found LOST (Now found!) PACER POLES BEFORE CEA

    Oh Jill! I’m so happy for you! That would’ve been quite a loss. After hearing about thefts and Roncesvalles, and feeling a little downhearted about that, this has made me feel happy again.
