    O Lagar de Jesus

    Hi Gretchen I stayed there last night and really enjoyed it. 1- It was only about ten km from where the boat lets you you off.

    Holed Up With a Nasty Cold

    Good for you for being considerate of your fellow pilgrims by staying in private accommodations. You might try sitting in the town square with a cafe con leche or vino tinto to watch the locals or listening to a book on tape. Buen Camino

    Trail runners vs road runner shoes

    Trail runners 100%. The Camino is very rocky/pointy/bumpy and you will be glad to have a rock plate in the shoe, which trail runners have, to protect your feet.

    Is the Ingles Social or Solitary?

    Good point about Bruma. I’d make a reservation at the very nice private albergue to avoid disappointment. Quite a few upset pilgrims were turned away the day I was there.

    Is the Ingles Social or Solitary?

    Difficulty comparison: Camino del Norte vs. Camino Frances from St. Jean Pied de Port

    Started early June. Medium fit, early 60s. Lots of mud, slippery descents, especially the first week. Quite a few tough spots for me. I thought about quitting numerous times but glad I persevered.
