    Chance of a strike at Santiago airport (16 and 17-05 2024)

    Chance of a strike at Santiago airport (16 and 17-05 2024)

    I haven't booked my flights yet, I'm still about a week from Santiago. I'm just wondering how exactly the strike works - delayed flights? Canceled flights? Is it worth it booking on those days at all, or should I just kick it up a notch and fly home on the 15th? 😉

    Chance of a strike at Santiago airport (16 and 17-05 2024)

    Does anybody know how it might affect people flying home from Santiago on those days? I might be one of them 🙃

    LIVE from the Camino They are recommending the Valcarlos route tomorrow, how foolish would it be to go Napoleon?

    From my recent experience, if the weather doesn't allow any views, the really isn't anythning worthwhile on the Napoleon Route - just a lot of climbing, cold, and slight misery :)

    Vaping/electronic cigarette liquid shop in León

    Oh, I did not realize that they also sell the liquids there... this makes the situation much easier. Thanks!

    Vaping/electronic cigarette liquid shop in León

    Hello, I'd appreciate any advice on where to buy an electronic cigarette liquid in Leon - I restocked in Burgos, but probably will run out before Santiago. A quick Google search doesn't show any dedicated vaping ships in Leon, but I figured some of you might know a place one could buy some...

    A few quick questions before departing on the Francés

    I do. I know :) It's just the pre-camino nerves. Thank you :) Hi Jarrad. Mi name is Michal and I guess we are quite alike :D Thanks, it will be fine, I guess you can not not have a bed and have bedbugs at the same time, right? :D I did, good information, thank you! Yes, "start on a tuesday...

    A few quick questions before departing on the Francés

    Yes, I booked the first few nights, so no park benches at least until after Pamplona for me :) I'm just curious what I'm heading into, I guess the pre-travel overthinking mode is firmly on :) Thanks, Michal

    A few quick questions before departing on the Francés

    Hello, I would be grateful for some advice from the ones of you who are walking/have recently walked from SJPdP :) 1 - How busy is the first part of the camino right now? I read some reports of a busy beginning of the season, but plenty of beds all around - is it still the case? 2 - re Covid -...

    Poles or No Poles?

    Hi Claire, I was unsure about that before my first camino as well. I'm just a bit older than you, but had some minor knee issues before, and decided to play it safe and get some walking poles for the walk. It was the best decision I made in quite a while - I'm not sure I would have been able to...

    First day - Route Napoléon, or Valcarlos?

    Thank you all. I'll go the way the people in Pilgrim's office/my common sense advise, but it's great to know that whatever way I happen to walk, the scenery is going to be great :) And, it's an amazing thing that there is a place on the internet, where one can get numerous pieces of personal...

    First day - Route Napoléon, or Valcarlos?

    From what I've heard, the dirt trail might be especially unsafe in poor weather conditions - muddy, slipery, etc. I also like to avoid unnecesarry risks, so if I have any doubts when I reach the top, I'll opt for the tarmac road as well. If the weather is nice and I feel good and fresh though, I...
