I'm wanting to take a bus from Madrid to Pamplona. I filled in all the info to purchase one on the Alsa site. Put in my credit card info, hit 'pay' and it took me to a BBVA POS terminal site, asking for my credit card info again. Does anyone know what this is about?
I know there are many threads about safety but I was wondering about this year. I was planning on the Frances but may change my mind to do Lisbon to SdeC. I'm leaving on Sept 7th and am walking alone. Will it be too remote for someone who did the Frances? It seems a little confusing if you can't...
I'm booking a bus from Madrid airport to Pamplona for September. Does anyone know why some tickets say ALSA Bus Guaranteed and some don't? The ones that don't are 13 euros cheaper. Would it be another bus company even though it's on the Alsa site?
What can the weather be during the first week of November, coming into Santiago? I know it's impossible to predict but any generalities? I walked in 2012, arriving mid October and it was beautiful.
I know there are many posts about this...can't find anything that I need! I'm looking for a detailed daily training schedule others have used for the Camino. This is the second time I've walked but have fewer months to train. thanks!
I walked the Camino Frances last October, beginning in Roncesvalles to Santiago, and now am eager to do it again!!! I'm thinking about starting in France and was wondering which route is the most popular?

I've been reading the posts on this subject but need to ask it again...I'm leaving on Sept 1st from Roncesvalles and planning to walk through mid Oct. Would you recommend both a windjacket and Altus poncho or just the poncho? I'm really trying to get the weight down.

As I am starting to pack and weigh everything, is it really necessary to bring permethrin spray to actually spray on the beds for bed bug prevention? I am bringing a bed bug sheet. I have thoroughly read the posts concerning this and some say it could be necessary and others don't. Considering...
Is there a way to reserve a bed at Albergue Itzandegia in Roncesvalles? I can't seem to find out how on the website http://www.roncesvalles.es. I'm taking the bus from Pamplona to there and will get in at 7:10pm.
I am getting ready to order an Altus poncho and am undecided on the size...either an XS or S/M. I an 5'2" 120 lbs and usually wear an XS. How do these sizes run? According to their measurements, the XS would fall just below my knees. I don't want to be swimming in it!
Hi all,
I'm starting from Roncesvalles in late Sept, possibly solo, and have been doing a lot of online research. At the present time, I'm looking for a good training program for the trip. I'm planning on 5-6 weeks for the pilgrimage. At the present, I'm walking about 2 miles a day. Any...
