    No walking experience - have just decided to go - tomorrow. Help

    Terry - Hope you made it safe and sound. If you don't have them - get the NEW Briley book and the Michellin book.... Both are really good guides to have. WOW- that was a quick launch - hope you're prepared with all of your kit that you will need for the weather - but be not afraid - you'll be...

    No walking experience - have just decided to go - tomorrow. Help

    I have done it 2x -- It is easy - there is a bus shuttle that runs from T-1 to all the terminals. T-4 is actually where the train/subway transfer station is located. You will have PLENTY of time with that length of a lay-over. I hope you're going to take a bus from Pamplona to SJPDP -- you...

    Logrono to Burgos

    Mary - I wanted to confirm what I read above - You took a bus back to Pamplona - and took a train from Pamplona to Leon - correct? We only have 17 total walking days and are trying to make the most of it...we wanted to go from Los Arcos or Logrono to Leon -- Maybe a bus from Los Arcos to...

    Logrono to Leon?

    Did you ever figure out how to get to Leon from Logrono - or did you just fast forward from Zubiri?

    Are 60 to 70 km per day cycling achievable? Logrono to Astorga

    Here is what I am planning -- SO FAR... The BIKE days we can afford to slow down / shave if we need to - OR start walking earlier...OR not walk as far from Melide Last time I walked it we walked 100km the last two days - and we walked from Melide to SDC in one day - 60Km -- took all day - 3...

    Are 60 to 70 km per day cycling achievable? Logrono to Astorga

    This is all great information!!! I think I have found a place to get bikes - that provides a turn-key service. But this does raise MORE questions... IS this the same route... I found this in one of the other forums... Torres del Rio to Ciruena 64.1km 4,057' gain 5.3 Ciruena to Burgos...

    Anyone doing the Camino in June??

    My daughter and I are starting on the 5th of June - we arrive Bordeaux by plane and SJPDP by train (hopefully in time to hit the pilgram's office and get new Passports). We are starting off on the 5th for Pamplona. We fly back from Madrid on the 23rd - so we have LESS than three weeks and are...

    Experience with Cycling-Rentals

    This is an older thread - but i wanted to ping the forum once again... My 16y/0 daughter and I depart for Bordeaux on the 3rd of June and we return from Madrid on the 23rd. We are walking - not doubts about that - but I had an epiphany tonight --- WHY NOT rent a bike in Pamplona - continue on...

    Are 60 to 70 km per day cycling achievable? Logrono to Astorga

    This is what I love about this forum :-) I walked the Camino 2 years ago -and am taking my daughter June 3rd to do it again -- -she turned 16 this will be a breeze for her. We can only spare the 3rd through the 23rd - and I was plotting where to go - what not to miss - and was killing myself...

    Medical Qualifications

    I disagree on this statement. If someone is asking for advice (usually based on experience(s)) then you get what you pay for. A forum is a GREAT PLACE to ask for advice and opinions and to share experiences (what worked - what didn't)...if you want more ...go see a real doctor. I have MANY...

    What is the one Albergue that you would say not to miss

    My favorite was the one in Sarria - go to the top of the stairs - keep heading up the route - top of the hill past a small open square to the left (go past this -it is only a reference point) and it is up one more street on the left. The bar on the square is awesome -the proprietor is a trip...

    Girlfriend lost her Camino pin :-(

    Ok - all of that walking and we each picked out one lapel pin to stick on the shoulder strap of our packs while we were walking. My GF lost hers (it is a funny story - kind of - that I will post later). :shock: We are back in North America and we are trying to find a replacement (may buy a...

    Travel - Madrid Airport to the train station

    Worked like a charm!!! Your guidance was wonderful!!! I can't wait until next year --- Like LITERALLY can't wait!!! We just spent 10 days in Chicago and there wasn't a day that went by that we didn't talk about the Camino--- I actually posed the question - "Why do we find a long weekend -...

    Travel - Madrid Airport to the train station

    Everyone reading this - I have to say I actually am fighting back a tear as I think about the fact that I am back in the states after my wonderful trip on the Camino has come to an end. All I can say was it was INCREDIBLE --- SO INCREDIBLE -- So much to share --- I am taking 6 weeks off of...

    Travel - Madrid Airport to the train station

    Would it be easier - faster - to arrange a Taxi from the international terminal and take it directly to the train station in Chamartin? I ask this because of the times -- I land (scheduled landing) 8:45am I have to clear customs (no idea how long) - say 20 minutes then get to T-4 -- Say 20...

    Travel - Madrid Airport to the train station

    Thank you - That is GREAT information! Should I pre-purchase the train ticket (buy it in advance) or should I just wait to purchase it at the Chamartin train station? If I miss the 11:00 train there is another one at 14:00. If I purchase the ticket for the 11:00 and miss it, will they just...
