    How to send bags ahead

    We used Jacotrans for bag transport - excellent service. They have envelopes in almost every albergue/hotel - you would need to call them the night before if you think you are the only person in the albergue who has a bag to collect so they'll know to call there - you just attach the envelope to...

    Sarria to Santiago

    When I stayed in Sarria before starting the Sarria to SDC stretch stayed at Hotel Alfonso IX (www.alfonsoix.com or use booking.com)....central and good value and Camino trail outside the front of the hotel.....basic but clean and perfect for some comfort before the albergues!

    Leaving for Camino on Oct 1st

    Hi Ella - I used this service a couple of months back: http://www.expressbourricot.com/en.html to get from Biarritz Airport to SJPDP - the lady (Caroline) who runs it is very efficient. She basically pools people together in a shared taxi - it's €72 divided amongst the number of people. You...

    Great albergue in Pamplona!

    Ya, forgot to mention location...it's right on the Camino route, just inside the city walls..pretty much the first albergue you'll come to...it's only 1 or 2 minute walk to the centre of the action.
