    Beds in First Stage Albergues - Current Situation, late May 2024

    I don’t have to prove anything to you. The proof to me was finding lots of crying people trying to check in at Roncesvalles and offering two girls a bed in my apartment at Beneficiados. And seeing it again in Zubiri. And again as far up as Portomarin. People who want to take a chance will reap...

    What’s the weather forecast

    Yes, I think if you layer, you’ll be fine. It’s not particularly cold right now. I’m in Santiago and the sun is peeking through every now and then. All the locals I have spoken with insist it’s been a crazy Spring with some days 80° and the next day in the 30s. A lot of people are sick. Walking...

    Help! Can't find a bed in Santiago, May 17 and 18, 2024

    Manjarin: Tomás Martinez de Paz, the last templar

    In case anyone would like to see it. I thought it was a great photo of him and it was such a great night. I had stayed there back in 2006 and a young man showed up at dinner time in raggedy clothes and barefoot and was not speaking at all. Several of us, me included, were put off by the young...

    Manjarin: Tomás Martinez de Paz, the last templar

    I’m not a techie so I’m not sure what you mean by too small but I am working off my phone and probably have a larger copy on my computer at home. I can try sending it as a larger photo and see if that helps as well. Sorry if it doesn’t work out. It was such a nice experience.

    Message from the Roncesvalles albergue - a difficult day.

    I have been booking myself in several apartments where they use some app which allows me to scan my own passport in. Maybe they should look into something like that- it may make things go a little quicker? They don’t give me the key or the door code until they get the passport scan and a selfie.

    Is it okay to have no plan for the first Camino? 🌙

    Here’s what I can tell you. I am on the Camino now. All the beds were full in SJPP. All the beds were full in Borda and or Orisson. All the beds were full and Roncesvalles . All the beds were full in Zubiri. I’ve seen a lot of crying pilgrims because they have no place to sleep. In addition...

    LIVE from the Camino SJPP TODAY May 2, 2024

    we are in Roncesvalles tonight and once again people are being turned away. No reservations, no beds. And none in Burguete. And tomorrow none in Zubiri. I found two young Danish sisters and asked them to share my apt at Benificiados but they cannot find lodging for tomorrow.
