Hi everyone!
Questions for those who are currently on the Puy Route. I have been told that bookings were necessary on that route. I'd like to go for 1 or two weeks starting from Le Puy in 3 days 5 I don't live very far) but I am reluctant to book anything ahead. I have done the camino frances...
Hi! I had a great time in most albergues but my favourite ones are : Fonfria; lovely people Lola and Miguel are super kind, drying our soaked shoes with a hot tube, sending me the purse that I left behind, showing some Galician dance...the albergue and the restaurant are traditional buildings...
Thanks for your post Russell. I am lucky as I live in france now so it is easy and cheap to go to Spain. Thanks for your good wishes! Buen camino! Celine
Thanks Simeon for sharing your experience and your wise words! I have not been on long walks but I jog long distances which has got a similar positive effect on me. For sure I will go back on the trail! Take care, Celine
Thanks Al for posting! It is interesting to hear that your friends have noticed a change. I believe you are right, this is only a beginning and each journey can help out finding serenity. :-)
Thanks all for your contributions! I feel on the Camino again, being surrounded by caring and kind people!:)
Lizlane I am so sorry to hear about your hardships and I hope that bit by bit things will change for the better. I am very lucky as I can stay at my parents', which helps tremendously.

Sorry if this is a common and redundant topic, but here you go. I was lucky enough to be able to walk the Camino Frances from SJPP to Finisterre and Muxcia last month. I feel so grateful for the whole experience. I was expecting to feel some difficulty going back home. I know that I have to...
Thanks everyone for your all your advice:) and I apologise for my late answer!
I had an infection, severe cellulitis and I had to take antibiotics for some time. But after that it was like a walk in the park! ;)
For those who are still on the trail, enjoy it, it is hard going back home!
Hi everyone,
It has been 2 weeks that I am on the camino Frances. The front of one of my ankle hurts a bit especially when I start walking. I am aware that it could be linked with dehydration. When it rains I don't drink much. I believe it is a common problem, I have met people with the same...
cheers, well at least I know!! :)
If I use a new simcard it won't change any apps on my iphone? It is not linked, is it? I have downloaded some audiobooks I would like to keep. Just checking.
Hi everyone,
Do you know if it is possible to buy a phone simcard and prepaid card for calling abroad in Roncesvalles? I has a misunderstanding with my phone provider three and they shut my account so I have a phone with no service. Hopefully it will be unlocked soon enough. I can rely on...
Hi everyone!
I have read on this forum a great post about your favourite albergues. However I can't find it anymore!
I know I am shortsighted.. Buen camino!

Hi everyone,
First all many thanks for the forum and your contributions. I have learnt loads and paid close attention to your suggestions about how to prevent and heal blisters. I did not know I would be that interested in that matter few months ago!i am starting at SJPP on sept 17th and hope to...
I am a light sleeper and I have been using silicone earplugs used by swimmers.they are brilliant as they stay on all night and I can't sleep without them. Bioears from boots,but I guess you can find similar stuff elsewhere. Sleep tight and buen camino!
Hi Malena
I would suggest that you book in advance for a night in SJPP although there are loads if options.I have tried to book at l'esprit du chemin as it is recommended but fully booked. I will be starting the camino 3 days after you so we might meet along the way. I found a bed in l'auberge...
