    What is your favorite (affordable) restaurant on the Camino Frances?

    Ah you just can’t beat Casa Susi in Trabadelo. The best by a country mile!!! Incredible hosts; low numbers and absolutely superb food. You will not find better!! In my not so humble opinion!!! Liam

    Albergues - Need to book in September 2024?

    If ever doing Camino Francés again I would walk from SJPDP on Day 1 to overnight in Orisson for two reasons; it shortens that long long climb and gives one great chance to meet people at the communal meal. And away you go then.

    One More Step

    Hi. Did I see a poster somewhere on C Frances this year of bridges on the Camino? I am sure I did; it looked super. Maybe it can be located online. Liam

    Advice on "parts to miss" so I can Experience Arrival into Santiago

    Hi and delighted to hear you are ready to start. You have received tons of wise suggestions; not sure if I can add anything. If you only have 24 days and assume going at the Brierley pace of 33 days then you need to 'skip' 9 stages!! My suggestion would be to 'skip' those in one block early on...

    I finished my Camino Frances in July

    Oh no one knows how many days or years are left!! Why put off for 8 years something as magical as the Camino. If it calls, then just go!!!

    Finding my way along the route

    Oh if booking ahead it’s really simple if you use the Wise Pilgrim app. Phone numbers are there and use WhatsApp. I found it easy and responsive.

    Finding my way along the route

    Suggestion. Consider staying at Orisson on first night out of St Jean. It will require booking. The double benefits are it will shorten that brutal walk over the mountain and you get to meet lovely people who will be setting out with you in the morning. Just my tuppence worth!! You’ll love it!!

    Memorable Meals

    The best meal was in Casa Susi in Trabadelo. Am planning the Leon to SdeC section in June this year and stopping in Casa Susi is a must!! Liam

    Burgos to Santiago walking time

    By the way; picking up the CF in Burgos is great as you get to build strength into the legs walking the relatively flat but wonderful Mesata.

    Burgos to Santiago walking time

    I walked that section of CF in May/June; Burgos to Santiago. I walked 21 days. It’s just over 500km. Of course everything is relative but averaging 25 kms per day was comfortable and just to my liking. I hope to return next May with my wife and we will probably repeat same 500 kms. There are...

    French way: Paved sections to skip

    In my opinion it might feel better, as noted above, to pick a stretch say from Leon and walk all of from there. You will be in a flow of pilgrims; you will feel that sense of community and meeting people again and getting to know them. Skipping sections might feel disruptive and you are then...

    Advice needed on Camino ‘organised tours’

    Ah no. You can have your pack transferred ahead each day for €5.00. Its am amazing service and certainly worth a fiver when one is tired. That's one possible answer. Liam

    LIVE from the Camino running short on time where to cut?

    This is a silly suggestion given the info you have presented but ...... is it possible to put back your flight home by a week or so and then you have chance to do it all in your own time. Just a thought!!

    Your advice on my itinerary for Camino Frances Sep 2022

    Greetings all the way to Australia!! I walked from St Jean to Burgos last September and my humble suggestion would be to divide the first day to Roncesvalles into 2 days. My plan is to go back in August/Sept this year and there is no way I am hitting my body with that 18 km climb from St Jean...

    One Day or Two? Walking the Camino from St Jean to Roncesvalles at 72

    I walked from St Jean to Roncevalles last September. It’s a long hard walk. If and when I go back I would certainly stop in Orisson for two reasons: 1 It shortens that long climb and 2 there’s a good chance of getting to meet pilgrims. That’s my plan anyhow. Liam

    Looking for advice from Logrono

    I stopped in Ventosa after an enforced days rest due to blisters in Sep[tember this year. It worked well; I was all fired up the following day to get flying again!! Rest can be great!! Buen Camino

    Best printed list of albergues on French camino

    When I was Camino Frances in September I met pilgrims who only had the printed list of albergues from the Pilgrim Office in St Jean. This ofyen proved limited. Luckily I also had on my iPhone the apps, Frances, Buen Camino and Camino Places. I found accommodation lists under the apps which was...
