    Getting to Madrid from Santiago

    Is there only one fast train company? I guess what I'm asking is, what train do you recommend to get from Santiago to Madrid (closest to the airport)? Please and thank you

    Pilgrims Office, SJPP - Hiking Poles

    I couldn't agree more. I had heard such wonderful things about them. I'm glad I have asked them to pick us up and transfer my after Camino luggage on to Santiago. I'm going in October. I will try to make a post, letting you know what they say. I still wonder if they're driving luggage to...

    Pilgrims Office, SJPP - Hiking Poles

    I was thinking of Express Bouricott!! They will be doing my transfer from SJPP to Santiago. (They are also picking me up at the airport when I arrive) I think I'm going to ask them what they think. I'm just thinking of the hundreds of poles. Seems like such a waste. I understand that it may not...

    Pilgrims Office, SJPP - Hiking Poles

    I hadn't thought about how the various stores would take it... Good point. Need to keep them in business.

    Pilgrims Office, SJPP - Hiking Poles

    Okay, great. Thank you! Such a shame.. you'd think that maybe one of the baggage transportation companies could grab them every so often. Just a thought...

    Pilgrims Office, SJPP - Hiking Poles

    Does anyone know if the Pilgrims Office in St Jean have free trekking poles (donated from previous hikers) available to give for a donation? I live here in the United States and don't want to bring my hiking poles with me. I dislike the thought of buying a pair just for this one trip. I did try...

    LIVE from the Camino Walking the Norte Trail: Journey Interrupted and Resumed

    Each morning for this Maine girl, I reach for my phone after getting my coffee to read your journey. As I giggled at your description of yourself, I cheered you on for "embracing the suck." (A term my 85 year old mother claims she would like to wash my mouth out with soap when I say it 😂) Buen...

    LIVE from the Camino Walking the Norte Trail: Journey Interrupted and Resumed

    Your account of the trail is mesmerizing. It's truly a beautiful way to start my day. I'm anxious to walk the Norte, but have faith all will be what it will be. So far, I have a deeper understanding of the terrain, the weather, and the towns along the way. A sincere, THANK YOU! Please keep...

    Recommendations for Warm and Comfortable Shoes in Town during October

    Right. Thank you. I'm not planning on carrying 3 pair of shoes. I will have my trail runners and a "shower/town" shoe. My biggest concern was the temperature in the evening. I will just be prepared and bring socks and wear them. I know on the Appalachian Trail, I used Crocs. The AT and Camino...

    So, for "slip in" sandals, do you use a certain brand?

    Recommendations for Warm and Comfortable Shoes in Town during October

    I'm going to do more research into Oofos. Thank you! I suffer from plantar fasciitis from time to time, and Hokas seem to be the only thing I can use here in Maine while hiking.
