I'm on my second day of the camino, and I'm doing it alone myself....
do it... alone is just fine, you meet people on the way, and they are all very friendly and helpful.
Buen Camino...
hi! i'm in SJPP right now, I'm booked at orisson for Monday, and I'm hoping to make it. They told me that the napoleon route is closed due to snow earlier in the week, but I'm hopeful it will be clear by monday/tuesday as the temperatures are up a bit... If not, I guess the Valcarlos route...
All i have "planned" is the first night in Orisson march 31! I'll for with the flow! I do plan of staying extra nights in a few places like burgos and Leon, and i'm considering on getting off the camino from burgos to go to Bilbao! (Being so close, it would be a shame not to go, the Guggenheim...
Thank you! Hopefully espirit du Chemin will be open late march. Will check them out!
If not! I'll miss it too.. Orisson will be closed on my start day!
Anyway, i'm sure i'll have a wonderful camino.
Sorry if this has been asked before, but since I'll be missing the Orisson camaradería (wont be open when i start), what woukd be a good hostel in SJPP to start interacting with fellow pilgrims?
I'm planning of spending a coupke of nights there before i start.

Holy Friday in Santiago should be great! Usualy fridays in Spain have nice processions!
in Santiago there are the "procesion del Santo Entierro" (holy burial), and at least two others!

I wish i could stay at orisson, but it won't be open when i start my Camino on March 27! Thinking about starting March 31 when it opens, but that would mean missing holy thursday/friday in Leon!
Decisions! Decisions!!
I'm starting my camino late march, ans was looking forward to stoping at Orisson, but i was just informed that it wont open until march 31.
I want to be in Leon for holy Thursday, so I cant start that late... (And i dont want to take buses along the way)
Its been a while since i've done any...
Hi Maureen and Alicia!
I too will be in Leon from Holy thursday to Easter Sunday
I have booked a hotel room (yes, pricey, but besides being there for the beautiful ceremonies/processions, i'm doing the Camino to celebrate my big 50, so i figured it would be worth it)
In Leon thursday night at...
Marina, i'm also spending holy week on my camino! From what i've read, Leon is supposed to be very special, and the "procesion de los pasos" is Holy friday! I'm planning on arriving in Leon on hily thursday, april 17! But mot people say that no matter where you are, Spain is a special place...
Hi Alicia!
I have been doing some reading, and you are absolutely right in wanting to be in Leon on thursday! Procesion de los Pasos in Leon is a must! Cant wait to be there!
