    I really wish I knew that!

    Ohhhhh! The water in the shower and "c" for "chaud" NOT cold as in my American mind I would have assumed! and the fixtures! Plus the bathroom light going off after 10 seconds! I would have never known that!

    I really wish I knew that!

    Dickbird, I would not have known about that either (when ordering fast food, not that we do that a bunch, it's always, "hi, can I have....". I also wouldn't have thought about the clothes pegs that David suggested so thank you! Trecile, that is nice to know that we can order a half menu and...

    I really wish I knew that!

    Dbier - thank you for that bit about the locks. I can envision us standing around for hours trying to get in with only one turn of the key! Also, I had no idea about the grocers or getting a queue ticket, or putting 50 cents on the bar for use of the facilities. Not sure I want to try the...

    I really wish I knew that!

    Hi Everyone, I've been reading various books and blogs and it struck me that perhaps I should ask about those things that either no one talks about or that you thought "I really wish I knew that before I began". For instance, I read about "a nature poo" and to be prepared. It might not...

    Must see or favorite sites

    Thank you everyone for your comments! Kiwi-family asked about interests. We would really like to see a medieval castle but other than that, we are open to suggestions, although we aren't art museum people. As someone on the forum pointed out, our American cities aren't old so seeing very...

    Must see or favorite sites

    Hi Everyone, I had so many positive responses to my last post I thought I would ask about must see or favorite sites. As some of you may have read, it would be my young adult daughters and I walking the last 100 miles (not km) in late May of 2024. I've hesitated to ask this question as it...

    Private rooms availability?

    Thank you all for your helpful replies! I've PM'd several people for details and I've figured out Gronze. I also signed up (well my husband did it for me) for an app that allows you to play with the distances. I've been wanting to do this several years and am really excited to try for it...

    Private rooms availability?

    Trecile -I'm logged into Gronze now but don't know how to adjust my route. If someone could point me to the right direction, I would appreciate it. I see all the "normal" routes, but not how to customize them for distances.

    Private rooms availability?

    We are pretty friendly and will say hi to anyone we meet so I don't think meeting people will be a problem, especially when we see the same ones a few times around. When we hike in the US only about 1/3 of the people I say hi to on a trail respond, the others just ignore me and won't make eye...

    Private rooms availability?

    Who knew there was an APP for that!

    Private rooms availability?

    Thank you so much Trecile! I could do those miles! I'll start looking at Gronze using those towns. I really appreciate you putting that together for me. Some other forums tell me to "look it up" in Google but it's hard to look up when you really don't know the route to take to begin with...

    Private rooms availability?

    I figured we would have to get two private rooms. It would be me and my two young adult daughters with perhaps another female friend joining us. When I look at Tripadvisor photos for pensions and albergue private rooms, the rooms look very small. I shudder when I look at pictures of multiple...

    Private rooms availability?

    As an aside, we will be carrying backpacks and do not need luggage shipped.

    Private rooms availability?

    Thank you everyone! I like JWillhaus's comment of being able to find rooms on the go without reservations and I found Harland's comment to add to a contract that "you can stay a few hundred kilometers away from the Camino" a bit funny. I'm sure he meant a few hundred meters away and not a few...

    Thank you for the suggestions! I will check them out today.

    Private rooms availability?

    Hi, my adult children and I would like to walk from Sarria to Santiago over the course of 10 days (or a different route if anyone has suggestions - we will average about 9 miles a day and have about 12 days). I'm not in the best of health but I think I could do the mileage required over the 10...
