    Flying Ryanair from SCQ to Madrid

    I have an 11:05 flight from Madrid to the US and am wondering about the wisdom of flying Ryanair from Santiago de Compostela to Madrid that same day. There's a flight that leaves SCQ at 6:45 AM and arrives in Madrid at 8:00 giving me plenty of time to catch the 11:05 flight. Is Ryanair a good...

    A “Cruz de Ferro” on the Camino Ingles?

    I’m planning to walk the Camino Ingles next week and am wondering if there is a place akin to the Cruz de Ferro along the route. I have a couple of stones I’d like to drop off somewhere along the way. (I’ll never hear that phrase without thinking of Dan Mullins and his song, “Somewhere Along the...

    Train transfer in Ourense

    I will start my Camino by flying into Santiago de Compostela on July 7 and traveling by train the next day to Burgos where I will begin my walk on the 9th. I have a train ticket for Santiago to Burgos that involves a transfer in Ourense. However, there's only a 5 minute window between when the...

    First Sello in Burgos

    I'll be starting my Camino on July 9 in Burgos and I'm wondering where I can get a first sello for my pilgrimage on the CF to Santiago de Compostela. Is there one at the cathedral? If so, where? I won't be staying at an albergue in Burgos the night of the 8th. Thanks for any suggestions.

    Burgos to SdC starting July 9, 2021

    I (like many others) had to cancel my planned walk last Spring. Hopefully, and thankful in advance, this year will be different. I will be taking a slightly more leisurely approach this year from my previous walk on the CF and the walk to Muxia in 2017.

    Is Something Missing?

    While the topics discussed on the Camino Forum are myriad it appears, given the history of the Camino through the centuries, that something is missing from the Forum. There are discussions about the many different Camino routes; the best time to walk them; recommendations for albergues...

    Year-round pilgrims on the Camino

    I realize this probably isn't a frequently asked question, but I don't know where else to put this post. I recently heard reference to year-round pilgrims and I'm curious about them. It's not something I can imagine for myself but I am intrigued by those who have. I'm hoping some of you have...

    Walking the Camino after surgery to repair a torn peroneal tendon?

    I am interested in hearing about the experiences of anyone who walked a Camino route after having surgery to repair torn peroneal tendons. What was your recovery period from surgery to walking the Camino? Was there any special recovery routine you practiced? And what was your experience walking...

    Going back to the start

    I'm thinking, if I have time after completing the Camino Frances, of revisiting some cities I walked through (Burgos and Pamplona) and walking from Pamplona back to SJPP and then training from there back to Paris. Can I expect to be welcomed in the albergues? I would get to Burgos and Pamplona...

    Camino Frances - SJPP to Muxia

    I plan to start walking the Camino Frances from SJPP on May 23 or 24, depending on how long it takes to there from Paris (arriving May 22) and recover from the flight and travel from Boston. Planning to walk to Muxia via Finisterre. I have just a few days short of two months to do this and so...

    Excursions off the Camino Frances

    I'm planning to walk the Camino Frances from SJPP to Finisterre/Muxia and have about 2 months (May 23 - July 21) for this. I've just learned about the short, 3-day walk to Covarrubias. I would probably catch a bus back to Burgos to get back on the CF. Are there any other 1-3 day side trips you...

    Can anyone provide resources concerning the natural history (birds, flowers, trees, geology, etc.) one encounters along the Camino Frances?
