    SIM card and place to purchase

    I forgot to say, they do unlimited data plans for various lengths of time & will work in all EU countries. Just remember to switch your data roaming on after you've installed the e-sim.

    After Santiago?

    That's a really interesting question. I'd say you won't be eligible for municipal albergues, but private albergues will certainly welcome your custom. And it seems to me that private albergues are definitely coming to the fore now. More & more pilgrims are discussing booking & staying in private...

    How do people 60-and-over plan their Camino?

    I've did 3 caminos now & I'm in my 60's. I've never planned anything yet, just wing it & hey, it comes together better than planning it. I fly & catch whatever train cones next to SJPP, then wander down the street & find an albergue that has a vacant bed. Get a pilgrim passport from the office...

    Camino Central

    Hi, I'm doing the Camino Central & starting from Porto on 06th of March 2018. Work commitments stop me from starting from Lisbon but hey, a 10 day Camino is better than no Camino.

    How Many People Walked The Camino Without Any Training ?

    I've did 2 caminos now & not did one bit of training with a rucksack. I dreaded the first day from SJPDP but you know what, I got to Orisson & decided to crack on to Roncesvalles. I gave my booked bed away to someone more needy than me. Yes it was tiring, but it's doable by anyone that tries...

    Comment by 'diverdavey' in media 'The Climb from Pamplona'

    I love this view. It was wonderful to sit there with the humming of the wind turbines in the background, contemplating the arduous descent that was to come.

    Bed bugs

    I've just finished the Camino Frances & can happily report a bed bug free camino. I did use a permetherin treated sheet & my sleeping bag & rucksack were treated as well. I didn't encounter any pilgrims on 4 week trip that had any problems either. I stayed in a variety of municipal, parochial &...
