I have a question about mailing a large item to another country from Santiago. I have planned a holiday in a few other countries after my Camino and was thinking to mail a large item from Santiago to Paris, where I would end and fly home from.
I would have 2 weeks from the time I leave...
Hello! I have created a group in Facebook exclusively for those who are looking for information on walking the Camino with children. I have added many links from discussions on this group so they are in one place and easy to find. This has been one of the best resources for information on...
I am curious if you can use any type of credit card. I will have cash and use cash machines, but I know there are some places that do take credit cards. Do they have to be a certain type? Like with a chip or only from Europe?
Hello :)
I walked the Frances route from St. Jean to about Leon last year by myself and have been planning to return with my husband in June 2014 to go all the way to Santiago. I have been seriously considering taking my oldest daughter with us, who will be 15 when we go.
Can anyone share...
I start my Camino at the end of April 2012, around the 28th, from SJPDP. My date to finish is around the week of June 6th. I'm planning to continue on to Finisterre if I finish early. I have really been wrestling with what I need to take in the way of clothing. I bought myself a couple of...
I have been looking online and ordered a couple of books/maps that I believe list some of the albergues along the Frances route, but I was wondering if anyone can recommend a place to find an up to date one? Not sure when the books were printed and if the info for this would be up to date or...
Hello! I posted on the board last year as starting my walk in September. Unfortunately, near that time I took a tumble down the stairs and ended up breaking my foot. :shock: Wouldn't you know the first time I ever break anything in my life it is my foot right before a long walking journey...
Not sure if this is the right category to put this or not, but here goes. I've been debating if I should just suck it up or put my whiny foot problems in here to get some advice or not, lol. Maybe it will help myself as well as some others :)
I got new boots to start breaking in for my camino...
I've read over other threads but am still a bit confused about how to get to SJPP from Paris CDG. I've looked at the train, a few different sights, and none appear to go to SJ from there. Can anyone tell me the name of the train station to go to so that I CAN catch a train to go to SJPP? I'm...
I went out last night and purchased my boots and pack for my Camino September 1st - Oct. 16th. My head swimming with all the suggestions that I had read through the day, I trekked into REI and made a decision based on what they had there.
Boots: Merrell Moab mid gore-tx xcr
Pack: Deuter 28...
I'm trying to decide if and when I should make the arrangements to get back to Paris from Santiago. I've allowed myself 6 wks to walk the camino, not sure if it will take more or less time than that. I was curious what the experiences have been of others that have traveled it before. Have you...
I just booked my flight tonight to fly from Texas into Paris on Sept. 1st. I plan to go from SJPDP to the Santiago. I would be very interested in talking to others who plan to do the Camino around the same time. I believe I should start on Sept. 3rd, but still planning how the trains from...
