    A call for regulation or permit on the Francés

    You are correct, the Camino is great tourist income. A small hotel selling private rooms for 100 euros a night and then dinner and breakfast on top of that, well, it's a great business. The reasons why people to choose to walk the Camino are only important to the individual pilgrims, not the...

    Is the Camino too crowded?

    The first thing I wonder is what is the experience you're hoping for? What is that experience based on? If it's solitude you're looking for, there is still opportunity on The Frances, with the exception of the last 100+kms from Sarria. My thought is to avoid the stress of racing each day to...

    Most Dangerous stage on Camino Frances.?

    Yes, I agree, that was what I had previously said, re: Camino Frances People are focused on slipping on wet rocks on the trail, when walking on the side of roads is FAR more dangerous. Another issue is people with a sedentary lifestyle undertaking the walk, and getting heart attacks. It might...

    More people the closer to Santiago?

    I would consider pre-booking at Zubiri. When we ere there in April, we saw many pilgrims in a panic because there were no beds in the village left. They had to arrange taxis to take them elsewhere. That's too much stress to deal with after a long day walking.

    Most Dangerous stage on Camino Frances.?

    I agree. To call it dangerous is a little dramatic. It's no different than walking down a flight of steps, you just need to watch your step in a few short sections. Someone suggested talking the winding road route for that section, but that is actually dangerous if the visibility is poor and...

    Most Dangerous stage on Camino Frances.?

    The only danger on the Camino is spending too long in the bar at night, and waking up regretting it the next morning. Apparently. Oh, and those crazy cyclists who insist on riding on the trail when there is a road alternative for them.

    Meals in Roncesvalles, worth it?

    Memorable Places

    Walking into Castrojeriz. You have the monastery ruins which are worth looking around. And in Castrojeriz, the walk up to the castle is amazing, and yet most people pass it by. You can look around the ruins, and climb to the top to get 360 degree views. Incredible, one of the best experiences of...
