All I know is I got sick in Puente la Reina on May 3 and I am STILL coughing up my lungs!
I've met several people with the same complaint.
Whatever this is, it hangs on forever. . .
Yes. Our flights both coming and going were cancelled, rebooked at the last minute - literally while we were sitting at the airport - and we also had to RUN to catch our connecting flight at Heathrow - which I had originally avoided because it's a horrible airport imo. In addition, I paid...
My first Camino was 18 years ago this month. My first day was memorable as the hospitalero at SJPP convinced us to cancel our booking at Orrison.
I cried every step into Roncesvalles and that walk almost ruined my entire Camino. Since then, I’ve always split it into two days.

Someone mentioned this morning that they thought the botafumeiro was up and swinging again for Thursday. I am not sure this is true. Does anybody have the scoop?
I realize this is an old thread, but one of my pilgrims looks like he’s developed cellulitis and I need to get him to a doctor in Sarria. Is this place still open and is Centro de Salud where I should start?
