    Camino by Coach

    That is EXACTLY what I thought was coming as well.

    How to stay “logged in” on the forums

    Ah ha! I found a bookmark for the forum and when I click on it, I see that I am alteady logged in. So I guess that must be the trick. My bookmarks list is completely random and disorganized. I should have things grouped but, sadly, they are not.

    How to stay “logged in” on the forums

    I usually just click on the daily summary from e-mail or the new threads that are in my e-mail during the day. I use my phone, not the computer.

    Lost & Found Lost passport and credencial between Roncesvalles and Zubiri

    If you get them back, be sure to fill out the ID info in the credencial and include e-mail and phone #. A good idea to write this info on one of the passport pages too. I hope you recover them. Also use a sticky label, write any pertinent ID info on it and stick it on the back of your phone...

    How to stay “logged in” on the forums

    Left and came right back and had to log in again. This issue seems “new.”

    How to stay “logged in” on the forums

    How can I stay “logged in” on the forums? Even though I have checked the “stay logged in” box, I have to keep logging in in order to post or comment. Am I missing something here or what?

    Best tape to prevent blisters

    Agree. This product is the BEST.

    Best tape to prevent blisters

    LEUKOTAPE. Apply to any area where you are prone to blisters. It is a cloth tape and it will stay on for days, right through showers. You can cut it and wrap toes as well. If you don’t know in advance where you will blister, use it at the first sign of a hot spot. I took a whole roll and...

    Alternative to Pamplona for overnight

    I stayed there twice. I had good memories of the first stay and chose it again. The second time made me say, “never again.” The sleeping pods are nice and private, but the “pull down” privacy shade is vinyl and it was like being in a sauna. I finally had to raise it. You cannot have your...

    Alternative to Pamplona for overnight

    Pamplona is well worth the stop. I stayed at Albergue Hostel Plaza Catedral, right across from the main entrance to the cathdral. Recommend it highly. The same people run Albergue Puente in Puente la Reina, also highly recommended. A short distance down the street, there is a “square” of...

    Gite de la Porte Saint Jacques

    It’s an additional charge. I remember turning it down because I had already bought food earlier at the supermarket. There was no problem of my joining them at the table, which I thought was a nice gesture. According to Booking, breakfast is included.

    Albergue In Muros De Nalon

    I agree. Casa de Carmina is a great albergue. Very nice people. I was there twice. In 2018, I detoured a couple kilometers off the Camino to see Cudillero. It’s so pretty. It’s down a VERY steep road to get to the harbor area. I taxied back up to reconnect with the Camino. In 2019, I did...

    Sello (stamp) Obsession: Is there a medical term for this?

    I do have quite a few sellos from ayuntamientos and Guardia Civil puestos but they too suffer from the perennial Spanish CERRADO problem. The ayuntamientos tend to slam the doors shut at 2:00-2:30 and not open until 9:00-10:00 in the morning. A lot of the GC puestos also had very limited...

    Irun Camino start

    When I did it in 2019, I walked to the International Bridge (top of photo) to get pictures of the actual French and Spanish border signage.
