    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.

    Getting to SJPDP

    The only thing I remember is the driver would only let you take a small bag, like a day pack, INTO the bus. Larger items had to go into the hold, which is HUGE. You will definitely NOT have anything refused transport.

    Finding the statues that mark the “half way” point near Sahagun

    Just beyond the hermitage after you cross the little bridge. Within sight of Sahagún.

    Where to stay in SJPDP- September 2024

    Pics of Gite Bidean. They are closed on Sundays. I wanted to reserve for Saturday AND Sunday, He let me stay and on Sunday I had the whole place to myself.

    Where to stay in SJPDP- September 2024

    Gite Bidean. Very spacious and loaded with cool household furniture. Most beds are individual twins. It’s down on the lower level, so you only have to go up the wretched hill once - to visit the Pilgrim Office for your credential.

    Stamping process

    Anywhere and anytime. I am a unapologetic stamp addict and can easily amass a dozen in a day. My favorite is going to a post office, buying a stamp, pasting it in my credential, and getting the local postmark with the date. This one is from León, but the name LEÓN is nearly hidden. I also...

    Correos Luggage transfer

    I paid in advance for the entire CF in ‘22 and ‘23. No issue. Not sure what you mean by “country locked to Spain.” Correos only operates in Spanish territory, so your pick-ups and drop-offs will always be “in Spain.” You can, however, purchase the service from anywhere. Can you put up a...
