My husband is going to bike from SJPP to Santiago de Compostela and will arrive at Biarritz airport tomorrow morning (Thursday 9 October) around 10 am. Anyone who is arriving at approx the some time and has already booked a minibus or who wish to share a ride to SJPP?
This is a bit of a strange camino question, but here goes:
I have written a book that to a large part take place on the Camino (a bit like The Way but the main character is a woman and a lot younger) and now it is to be published in Sweden to begin with, but who knows what will happen... I wish...
As I am posting this I am on my way to the airport, eager to start my Camino. Once on the plane I will start a digital detox and keep out of the net for my 10 day Camino. It is going to be interesting to see how big the urge will be to see if anything has 'happened' on various forums etc. The...
I'm starting my Camino from SJPP to Orisson on Sunday September 15 and will walk as far as I get in 10 days. Anyone knows a good website for reliable weather forecasts for SJPP, Pyrenees, Roncesvalles, Pamplona and Logroño area? The ones I am looking at seems to be very different in their...
On Sunday morning I arrive in SJPP and have booked to stay at Orisson the first night. I am so thrilled and can hardly think about anything else. My husband says that he has hardly seen me this focused before, except from when I conceived our twin daughters six years ago... ;-) I have packed...
In one week's time I will take of for 10 days on CF. I have not decided if I should bring a book or not. But if I do, which one do you suggest - it has to be paperback, not too heavy and I want it to be a book about life. Spiritual yes but not too dogmatic in any sense. It should be more than...
I am leaving for a short camino of ten days in the end of next week and am finalizing my packing. More or less the only Item I have note completely decided yet is what to walk in when the day is heating up. The past few weeks I have tried a few different shirts - short sleeved shirt, short...
I am thinking of walking CDN from Irún instead of CF in September but wonder if the atmosphere is as special as I thought the CF was (walked CF in 2006)? I want it to be a spiritual Camino and not just a beautiful long trekk. Also I wonder how many pilgrims I am likely to meet? I do not mind...
I walked Camino Frances seven years ago and have been longing to go back ever since. In mid September I will, but only for 10 days. Will be flying in to Biarritz and out of Bilbao 10 days later and yesterday it struck me that maybe I should walk CDN instead of CF. What do you think, which one is...
I randomly read about the Camino in a book in spring 2006 and jumped on to walk to Santiago de Compostela and onwards to Finisterre without any preparations or knowledge about the route what so ever. I had the most wonderful time of my life in so many ways I can not even describe, going from...
I arrive in SJPDP before lunch in mid Sept 2013 and since I have been to the town twice before I am eager to start walking. I am used to walk both uphill and downhill but suppose it is rather late to start at noon and walk all the way to Ronchesvalles. Yes/No? Therefore I was thinking to stop at...
I am planning to do a short camino from SJPDP mid September 2013. Which towns, albergues and historical sights should I not miss? During my last camino (in 2006) I was in a mental hyrry and was speed walking, thus missed lots of what the Camino had to offer. Now I wonder if you have any tips...
