    Blister patches

    Is it easy to take Engo patches off? For example, if I want to move them a bit from the original place I've attached them.

    So what happens if you lose all your money?

    I am an American. Here are two experiences from my Camino-2015: 1. I brought with me several hundred dollars in cash, and had difficulty finding a bank in Pamplona that would change them into Euros. The one that eventually did charged large fees. (I am not complaining, only noting this.) 2...

    Bedbugs in Granon?

    I am very sorry for taking this discussion off topic, but I was so excited that a hospitalliero from my favorite place was posting here. Now, I got a bonus, a motivation to go to Samos. Thank you so much! And apologies for a scenic detour away from bed bugs.

    Thank you, Pingüigrino, Last year I took the San Xil route, and so I really should go to Samos this year.

    Bedbugs in Granon?

    Such good memories! When I was there we had a professional chef from The Netherlands. He organized a crew of four guys who have prepared a wonderful dinner, tasty and beautifully presented.

    Bedbugs in Granon?

    I will be deciding whether to take a detour to Samos in mid-May. If you were still there, it would be a good reason to walk an extra mile for a bit of talk. Buen Camino.

    Bedbugs in Granon?

    Grañon and Tosantos were two of my best nights on the Camino. I chatted with the Grañon hospitallieros before leaving and forgot a bag with my toiletries on top of the forte piano. I found it out only when I have arrived to Tosantos and was distraught. There was a friend visiting Tosantos...

    Dear Dave and Holly, I will be leaving home on the 6th and have a reservation at Orisson for the 11th. I will likely run into you on the Camino. Buen Camino! Victoria

    Why Do Adventure Snobs Hate The Camino De Santiago? By Tom Allen

    What is the meaning of "adventure"? Must it be an athletic fit, such as climbing the second highest peaks on each continent? Must it be in an "official" adventure area, such as Hua Shan mountain trail? Must it be geopolitically dangerous, such as the mountains between Pakistan and...

    What's the weather like on the pyrenees right now?

    Last year I started in Roncesvalles and consequently developed a Napoleon complex. This year, I am determined to walk the Napoleon Route. I have some flexibility to spend a few days in SJPP waiting for the weather to improve. I will arrive to SJPP on 8 April, three days before my reservation...

    What's the weather like on the pyrenees right now?

    I will be leaving SJPP on the 11th of April. I hope the snow will melt by then. If not, what is it like to walk the Napoleon Route with snow on the ground?

    the QUICKEST way from Madrid airport to St. Jean Pied de Port???

    Last year, I started my walk from Roncesvalles and soon regretted it. I refer to it as my "Napoleon complex." This year, I'd like to cross the Pyrenees and to experience comradeship forming in Saint Jean and Orrison where people facing the great unknown bond. It's true that the Camino...

    More than one credencial or passport?

    Yes. My insert is a two-sided piece of paper bent two times, thus providing six pages with eight places for stamps on each page. The title on the top of each of the six pages is "FIRMAS Y SELLOS." When folded, the insert shows one page, which is about 2 mm longer and about 6 mm narrower than...

    More than one credencial or passport?

    In 2015, I purchased my credential in Pamplona at Jesus y Maria and stamped it there. I then took a bus to Roncesvalles where I got the second stamp. From then on, I was getting albergue stamps in my credential as I was progressing towards Santiago. Somewhere around Sarria, I got a free...
