Hola,
I have just arrived in Santiago and heard from several female pilgrims that they each had a man expose himself to them as they left Mazarife in the morning. One woman saw him in the doorway of a house, the other two saw him in a car or a van (not sure which). Presumably this is the...
Hello All,
My trip is underway and I´m currently at in Roncesvalles, staying at the youth hostel. I got into SJPdP on Thursday the 11th, checked in with the wonderful pilgrim´s office staff, and had one of the best meals of my life at Hotel Ramuntcho right there in the old...
Hello all,
Tomorrow I plan on arriving in SJPdP and hopefully, if all goes as planned, set off on Friday the 12th. I hope to meet some of you along the way...

Hello All,
If all goes as planned I should be in SJPdP by next Thursday (May 11th). Admittedly I'm a little nervous. I'll be catching a cab from Biarritz to Bayonne, the train to SJPdP, and... then what?
Once I get off the train I have absolutely NO idea of where to go or what to do. I...
I have narrowed almost all my gear down to battery power but have one item that requires charging, perhaps every other day. How easy/difficult/impossible is it to find a place to plug in?
Thanks :)
Okay, I've got all my gear together... or at least I think I do. Veterans of the Camino, I ask you this question... what is the secret coolest item to have with you... the one that no newbie would ever think to bring...
I've already got a section of thread and safety pins for stringing up a...
I live in the U.S. in California, and every year I have seasonal allergies from grass pollens... bad hayfever symptoms. I'm just wondering if people have experienced allergy symptoms on the Camino, and if there's a particular time of year it's especially bad. I'll be hiking in May & June...
I'll be hiking the Camino in May/June and am looking to purchase a pair of hiking shoes or lightweight boots. My question is this:
Do I want the waterproofness of Goretex, or do the cons (not breathable, hot sweaty feet) outweigh the potential benefit in rainy conditions. Otherwise, is...
I'm looking for a scallop symbol to carve into my walking stick.
Is there is a most commonly occuring or official one?
Do you know where I can get it?
Many thanks,
Brad
Hello everyone, I'm planning on walking the Camino, from SJPdP to Santiago and Finisterre from May 13 - June 19 this year.
I'm 35 years old and live near San Francisco, California in the U.S.
Cheers :)
Hello all,
As an English only speaker I am a bit nervous at the thought of getting by on the Camino. I have a very little bit of Spanish, and (literally) a few phrases of French. How hard will it be for me to obtain my credential in SJPdP, obtain lodging, and embark on this journey...
Hello all,
I'm planning on walking the Camino Frances from May 13 - June 19, and was wondering a few things.
1) Should a light weight Goretex fleece be enough?
2) What should the temperature range be like?
3) How crowded is the Camino during this time?
4) Anything else I don't know that...
Hello all,
I'm planning on walking the Camino Frances from May 13 - June 19, and was wondering what I should be looking at for weather and temperatures.
Thanks much,
Brad :)
