    Favorite Parador in Santo Domingo de la Calzada

    In 2017 my brother in law and I enjoyed several Gin and Tonics in the Parador near the Cathedral. A very nice place which I am sure you will enjoy! Lucky you! 🤓

    SAINT-JEAN (1st Day) failure rate 40%?!

    Thank you. I think in many ways there are parts of the Camino whence its the coming down that be a bigger problem!

    What long steep stretches? I’m confused by your comment.

    SAINT-JEAN (1st Day) failure rate 40%?!

    Please don’t worry too much about the first day. There are some steep bits but it is mainly a long upward slog. Just take your time, stop and enjoy the views! Within two weeks you will be running up such steep stretches! Good luck and Buen Camino!

    Coming to the Camino Frances, a flood of tour groups

    On my first Camino in 2008 I saw plenty of what I termed ‘Parador Pilgrims’. They weren’t a problem then it in 2017. My only hang up is using in my opinion a sacred pilgrimage route for fundraiser purposes.

    Foncebadon!!!

    In 2008, I recall only one albergue in the village! But I fell in love with the place and was so excited to return in 2017 and witness the changes.

    Foncebadon!!!

    I had the same surprise when re-visiting Foncebadon in 2017, the changes since my first Camino in 2008 were quite amazing!

    RETHINK walking the Frances

    I could not agree with you more! Far too much negativity.

    Did you take many photos and videos?

    Hi, Do take a camera with you and record your Camino, you will not regret it. I have walked the Camino twice and both times I have put together a photo book that photographically my pilgrimage. It is wonderful to to be able to look through the books and re-live my Caminos.

    Safety for pre-dawn starts on the Camino Frances

    Why, why oh why would even consider starting walking at such an hour! Beats me.

    LIVE from the Camino Camino De Santiago beginning in Leon

    Did the nuns make you go to the evening service? 🤓 It is a lovely albergue and the Griffin bar in the square is excellent. Buen Camino!

    Accommodations in Pamplona

    I would always recommend the Albergue Jesus y Maria, just around the corner from the Cathedral. Excellent bunk beds and great facilities.

    Tips for securing a bed at Albergue de La Faba during the busy September season on Camino Frances

    Hello, it was way back in 2008 that I stayed in Albergue de La Faba. Run by the German Confraternity of St. James, I found the albergue to be clean and comfortable. There was a bar serving a pilgrims meal just a short walk from the albergue. Hope this helps.
