    Road Bike Camino Del Norte

    Yes, occasionally.

    Road Bike Camino Del Norte

    I‘d say that it‘s too rough in many sections. You‘ll have to deviate then to stay mainly on asphalt. Additionally you have to face a lot of climbs, not very long ones but steep.

    *** on Gronze accommodations?

    The asterisks only appear on hotels. To albergues, casas rurales and private rooms etc. they are not awarded.

    Via Vezelay

    Hello Cullo! Some years passed by since I did the Voie de Vezelay / Via Lemovicensis (2012) but I know that that waymarking has improved a lot since then. May I recommend you to visit the website of the Ami’s et Pelerins de Saint Jaques in Vezelay. They offer a wealth of information as lists of...

    End section in Lectoure or Condom to travel back to UK

    Lectoure would be my choice. It has a train station. Travel time to Paris around 5 hours 30 min.

    Heading to Irun

    Yes, it‘s doable. But because the the albergue is quite at the other end of the town expect an hour to walk there.

    Best Beaches Near Santiago de Compostela: Suggestions Needed!

    Take the bus to Fisterra and make a stop in Carnota. Fantastic beach and outside of the Spanish holiday season nearly empty.

    LIVE from the Camino After Olleros de Tera

    Hello Miaka, I still remember this section quite well when I walked the VdP and Sanabres in 2018. At first, I was also annoyed that I did not choose the "Bicicleta" variant. But with increasing duration, I found it more and more beautiful. It had something adventurous. Yes, it was exhausting...

    Advice for Restaurant Dinners

    If you think of a „good“ Restaurant with some sort of „haute cusine francais“ then expect at least 50€ per person for a three course dinner with some glasses of wine (with no limit above).

    Le Puy-en-Velay to St. Privat d’Allier in one day?

    It might be a bit less difficult compared to the first stage of the Frances. But do not underestimate it. If I remember correctly the last approximately 5 km is a rough decent to the valley of the river Allier. And if you start in Le Puy with „cold legs“ you probably get painful stiff legs in...

    Puebla de Sanabria - albergue Casa Luz

    I’ve been there some years ago (2018) and my impression was not that bad. Well, the hospitalero behaved a little bit like a master seargant but I don’t know if it is still the same person. All in all it was OK. When I look at Gronce now it appears to me that they are open.

    Del Norte difficulty?

    It is not „very“ difficult. Yes it is a bit more challenging than the Frances especially the first part - let’s say until Bilbao. The difficulty lays in the number of ups and downs which can be quite steep sometimes. The reward will be some stunning views. But if you’re in good shape you will...

    14 "spare" days in Santiago - what to do.

    What about some happy days on the galician beach? I‘d recommend you Carnota. It has wide and clean beach, about 8 km long and 100 to 200 m deep (depending on tide). And outside of the spanish summer holidays and may be a sunny weekend you virtually have it on your own. Take the bus to Finisterre...

    Cluny or Vezelay - recommendation needed

    It depends much on what you are looking for. The Podiensis is busier. It has, at least behind Le Puy a rich infrastructure for pilgrims, many historic places are on the way. But it is also a bit more physically challenging especially the first section. The Lemovicensis is much less frequented...

    Troubleshooting why kml files were not loading in mapping apps

    Some geo apps do not accept .kml files. Check if your app does. If this is not the case for you transfer the file to the .gpx format. Background: .kml is a proprietary Google solution which may imply copyright questions. .gpx is an open .xml variant with a specific grammar for geographic data...

    Transport options, Lyon to Le Puy?

    Yes, I made this experience once. It’s a while back. I took a regional train from Lyon Le Part Doric that should go to Le Puy. But in St. Etienne the train stopped and they made an announcement that the personell was going on strike. I decided to have a lunch first and check my options later...
