    Lost & Found Blue Reading glasses lost between Arcade and Pontevedra

    There was a pair posted on the FB Camino Lost and Found but they look gray to me. These were found at the stall of the guy who makes boots between Redondela and Pontevedra.

    Lost & Found Passport found

    I would think the likelihood of the person even knowing about this forum is very slim. The finder should take it to the local police station and maybe they can contact the consulate.

    Lost & Found Passport found

    This probably should be taken to the nearest local police station, if not issuing country's consulate.

    accommodations along the way from Le Puy

    The Le Puy route is about 1/10 as busy as the Francés in Spain, but has much less infrastructure. Gîtes d étape hold about 10-12 people and there are a lot fewer of them along this route, although it is the most walked of the French camino routes. Statistics are anecdotal as most walkers are...

    accommodations along the way from Le Puy

    Steph, July is not a busy month on this route. May and September are the two busiest months

    accommodations along the way from Le Puy

    It is best to all. Even if you don't speak French well, they are used to pilgrims from elsewhere that don't necessarily speak fluent French. It is busy right now and many of the gîte owners don't really have time for emailing at the moment,

    Le Puy to Santiago 2021

    The Via Podiensis is a fantastic route and, if you're on FB, I suggest you join Robert Forrester's group where there are a great number of resources and many helpful people who have walked the route in the past https://www.facebook.com/groups/ViaPodiensis/

    To all pilgrims who have walked in France

    Le Puy is fine in September--one of the busiest months, and is great in October except some of the gîtes start to close after the first week (of October). If you don't mind walking a few extra kilometers or staying in more expensive places, walking later in October is fine--I loved it...

    To all pilgrims who have walked in France

    Le Puy because if you are new to this, it is the most traveled, the most supported, and best-waymarked. It is also beautiful. I would take the Célé Valley variant to extend the fantastic Aubrac experience a little further. Ultreïa and bon chemin!

    Lightweight Wrap Skirt !

    The wrap-skirt looks cute. If you're near a Decathlon in Spain (or elsewhere) there's also an inexpensive skort worth looking at which comes in several colors https://www.decathlon.co.uk/womens-nh100-skort-orange-id_8492505.html

    Camino difficulty rating—but why?

    If you chose to walk the Célé valley variant, which is gorgeous, and definitely worth it, it is very stony trek with lots of coarsely crushed rock. It is the road less traveled, so it can be lonely at times, and you will need to take your food with you at times for lunch.

    Walking after hip replacement

    I had a partial replacement of my left hip and I'd say at least six months. It was a year and a half after my surgery before I went, but that had to do with my situation--I could have gone earlier. It will take a couple of months to recover and then you should do some low impact exercises...
