Hi,
I had stomach issues after Burgos. I didn’t eat all day and felt better. Had breakfast the next day any felt fine after that, But then a few hours later drank water I had gotten from a fountain the day before and got sick really quickly. I got a private room and took a rest day. I was ill...
Ah, sounds good. I found a shared taxi and made it to St Jean pied de port today. I thought everything would be closed on Sunday. But the pilgrims office and sporting goods stores are open! So now all that is left to do tomorrow is walk! Actually, the day after because I booked two nights. So...
Hi, does anyone know a way to go from Pamplona to St Jean Pied de Port? Or is taxi the only option? I took trains from Barcelona, but could not find any buses or trains online. Are there any local buses?
I think that is true.Plus many people don't want to drink much when it will make the next day harder. Also, sometimes other peoples hangovers are a good reminder. All in all, I am confident that it will all work out.

Hi, I am also a first timer starting in April 2024, and am 64 (but will be 65 by then). So I have no advice. I am arriving in Barcelona the first week of April, and will make my way to Saint Jean Pied de port. I have not given myself a time frame, with the exception of the Schengen zone...
Hi,
I am walking my first Camino this April. I arrive in Barcelona on the 6th. Have not yet figured out how I will get to St. Jean Pied-du-Port. I am hoping it will take one day, but maybe two are needed. I have just started looking into the details. So perhaps we will cross paths. It sounds...
