Rome2Rio is quite accurate on available options. I did also a train-bus combo but on separate days. Considering they want to take an almost 700 km trip from France to the western part of Spain, the timeframe is valid. The only shorter option is if the would arrive by airplane to Santiago de...
Is this a clickbait joke? I mean any logical person would immediately say with confidence it is BS. Who would enforce this "law"? How? :D Ridiculous.
I think the missing context implies a misunderstanding but even if it was meant to state that alone it is not safe I would disagree. Walking alone...
It is a global security rule that you can not carry hiking poles in the carry on baggage, it is considered because of the pointy end that basically you could use it as a weapon. And yes, security would spot it immediately and take it away or force you to check it in. That is an other thing that...
I am starting my second camino too in september. What my approach is to take all my lessons learned from the first attempt. Many things went wrong due to lack of focus on what really matters, due to insufficient packing, lack of training. I realised that I started walking 3 years ago with...
Starting my Frances on the 3rd of September, and on this occasion I decided to start blogging as well, sharing personal thoughts, lessons learned, gear and travel experiences, photos etc.
Every feedback is appreciated, also happy to hear from other pilgrims who would walk around the same time :)...
Not sure what you are implying here. Yes, I dare to ask the question, because on one hand it is just a blurred memory of that building, I dont know what it is used for, and in 3 years a lot can change, might not be there anymore. I am trying to familiarise myself with any potential risks, either...
I know that option, even Orisson Refuge offered me a taxi drive but this is just agains my approach. I prefer to walk forward and not going back and forth :)
Hi,
in 2016 when I crossed the mountains from SJPDP to Roncesvalles, I saw a small open brick construction on the mountain way after Orisson. Is it still there?
My issue is that I know how difficult the first day is (that time it took me 12 hours to complete), therefore I want to cut the first...
Watching the movie just now and cant help but I checked Posada in Roncesvalles and the interior is very different from what I see in the movie :D Does anyone know where that scene (his first night on the camino) was actually recorded, in which albergue?
Hi, so in SJPP you can only authenticate 2 credentials max? Or if you foresee that you might fill up even 5 with stamps, and you buy 5 credentials in advance (I did it from Ivar), will it be ok for them to sign? When I was there 3 years ago I only used 1 so it was not a question for me, but I...
Hi pilgrims,
I am wondering if you walk the camino frances or any other camino route partially during the year and ultimately you do it in 2-3 years and you collect the stamps during this trips in the same pilgrim passport, will you receive the compostela for the whole route or only for the...
