    LIVE from the Camino Oloron-Sainte-Marie to Santiago

    Update: currently in Samos, only a couple days left. 6 hours of walking in the rain from Ponferrada to Villafranca was a delight but have started on April 1 and only experiencing 1 real rain day is awesome and I shouldn’t complain but as it’s a Pilgrim’s right, I will. Some of the early...

    Aragon government plan to build albergue at Somport

    Possibly some additional infrastructure would encourage people to walk there taking pressure off the early stages of the CF. Having recently completed that route, some support between the existing stages would be helpful but I don’t see that happening with the number of pilgrims currently...

    Phone Service while traveling - Holafly?

    I’ve been using Holafly for over a month starting in Oloron-Sante-Marie in France, across the Camino Aragónes and now on the Francés currently in Rabinal. The service has been fast and connections have been good. WhatsApp works great. Limited telephone time (60 mins) and you can’t access SMS...

    Update, Mansilla de las Mulas is Completo for 4/27. We have no reason why. Everyone we’ve spoken to is scrambling. Religios has some availability, some are booking León and bussing back and forth. Just a heads up.

    LIVE from the Camino Oloron-Sainte-Marie to Santiago

    We’re now on the Meseta, Terradillos de los Templarios. Staying at the Jacque de Molay albergue, still very comfortable. Some of the log jams regarding beds have eased, there was a local holiday that complicated matters a bit in Fromista the day before yesterday, some albergues were closed as...

    Entry to Burgos

    Update, apparently the alternate route is open, if you can find it in the construction mess. Someone coming the opposite direction pointed some friends in the correct direction. Good luck!

    LIVE from the Camino Oloron-Sainte-Marie to Santiago

    We tried multiple sources including phoning albergues directly. With the current volume, seems to be a bit of a bottleneck. Based on conversations with other Pilgrims, they all wanted to avoid San Juan and based upon my experience, I understand why. So, did we exhaust every source, I don’t know...

    Entry to Burgos

    We walked in to Burgos yesterday (April 19) and it appears that the route around the left side of the airport and through the park is currently inaccessible due to construction and at very least it’s very difficult to find. No one we spoke with found an easy walk-around. I suppose you could drop...

    Broccoli and cauliflower soup, spinach casserole (vegetarian option), white/dark chocolate mousse and the usual bread and wine. On average for the Camino it may be 3-5€ higher but, it was above average in quality, so, 😎

    LIVE from the Camino Oloron-Sainte-Marie to Santiago

    We’re now in San Juan de Ortega, next stop is Burgos and an extra days rest. The very warm days of last week have given way to quite cool days this week and even cooler days next week. The Camino is busy but until today, finding a bed had not been a problem. We’d planned on walking to Agés or...

    Stages from Oloron-Sainte-Marie

    If I confused the stream, I apologize. And I agree, being a hospitalero/a must be a challenge.

    Stages from Oloron-Sainte-Marie

    We were there 10 days ago, 6 Pilgrims total and very chill. Sorry if your experience was different, Arrés for us was a highlight.

    Stages from Oloron-Sainte-Marie

    We enjoyed the Foz immensely. It was cultural shock when we hit Puente la Reina.
