    Advice on starting in Roncesvalles

    Not sure about answering your travel plans, but, you are missing out on a super great walk over the Pyrenees on that first day from SJPP. It's majestic - not to be missed. Not to mention SJPP itself; such a quaint and fun town to experience.

    Is it possible to walk the camino primitivo as a vegetarian?

    Further to above, the main point is, don’t count on the restaurants and have faith in the local supermarkets for what you need

    Is it possible to walk the camino primitivo as a vegetarian?

    My wife and I have completed four Caminos and we are 100% vegan. We are on the Camino Le Puy right now actually. 80% of the time we eat in the room. We buy our own veggies and noodles and such and we have a collapsible kettle. For lunch on the road, Heinz beans in a can with bread and fruits...

    Walking the northern coast of Spain

    If you stay in El Pito along the way, after you rested up head out in the evening for a 45 min walk down to Cudillero...it is off the trail and we found it by accident. It's a cool, tourist little place on the ocean...several restaurants...go have dinner there and breathe in the ocean air.

    Shoes vs boots (again)

    My first Camino in 2016, I wored Merrel shoe hikers...resulted in major problems for my feet. For the next two Caminos, I wore plain running shoes. Best decision ever. Comfortable the whole way through. Oh, and for socks, we love the Wright "blister free" socks...they are two ply but very thin...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Domestic flights in Spain

    Eurofins will say 2-3 hours for rapid test and 12 hours for regular; but again our regular took 6 hours. To be safe, get the rapid for about $20 more.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Domestic flights in Spain

    Rapid or regular...both are PCR and ok for Canada. Because we were overnighting in Barcelona, we took the regular one -- 6 hours later we had an email showing negative :). The regular one is cheaper, I think we paid about $70 each.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Domestic flights in Spain

    We flew from Santiago to Barcelona last week...one hour after landing in Barcelona, we had pre-booked our PCR test in the airport at "Eurofins" (check their website); I believe there is one at Santiago also. Or, prebook something inside Paris airport. The rapid PCR test is ready in an hour or...

    Anyone starting at Irun around 24th of September?

    We started in Irun a month ago and are 5 days away from Santiago now. You won't see many pilgrims...it's quiet. In total, we perhaps encountered 2 or 3 dozen total. And weather turning somewhat colder now....we start walking in AM and it's usually around 13 to 15 Celcius these days. The highs...
