    Help getting lodging past Sarria

    Well, then I am not " most people " though I am pretty sure more think like me. I like Finisterre aka Fisterra but I prefer the last hundred kilometers from any Camino entering Santiago. Looking forward to entering via the Camino Sanabres in September.

    Paulo Coelho's "The Pilgrimage" to be made into a Netflix movie

    IMO it is utter drivel. Shallow content and full of clichés. But of course " de gustibus non est disputandum". There is more literature to find in my collection of Tintin.

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    Had some time to spare between appointments so visited the beguinage and the gorgeous church in St-Truiden. Dates back to the 13th century. Well preserved fresco's. UNESCO world heritage. https://www.werelderfgoedfotos.nl/en/photos/263-flemish-beguinage-sint-truiden.html

    Picking an accommodation

    Gronze has a good list of all types of accomodation. https://www.gronze.com/camino-norte Be aware that many coastal towns on the Norte are favourite places for Spaniards themselves. It can be quite busy in summer and tricky to find affordable rooms.

    A call for regulation or permit on the Francés

    I am merely posting an objective fact. I have no intention at all to talk religion here seeing it is against the forumrules. It beats me why you would put a laughing emoji under my post. But again " De gustibus non est disputandum ".

    A call for regulation or permit on the Francés

    I hope it is ok that the locals sit on the benches? You know, the ones who pay the taxes in Spain for these benches.

    Today, five years ago. Hostal Hermanos Gutierrez in la Brujula. Etapa to Burgos on the way to Burgos. Superfriendly! Call them directly seeing it is way less expensive than arranging it through the greedy bookingsites. Via de Bayona...

    Compostela: Electric Bikes Excluded?

    Exactly! Living in cycling country I see groups of cyclists ( racing bikes and no assistance ) every weekend, some of them obviously with less perfect BMI and they manage really well. Without a doubt they could cycle a Camino and finish it. And could get their Compostela. In general : we do...

    You are such a talented photographer @Theatregal ! No pics of birds, only registration of the sounds via the Merlinapp. Local walk and a U-turn seeing the mud.
