    Should I try to find you?

    Mi Camino Familia isn't super close, but we have all stayed in contact since our Camino in 2013. We friended as many as we could find on facebook and created a group for all of us. It has been really nice to see my Camino Familia grow and get careers, kids and travels. I think it really...

    Close route Napoleon

    Is this about the downward part? Or the entire route over the Pyrenees? I remember, my first day was after and before a few particularly rainy days in June 2013, and the Pilgrim office showed us a picture and said "when you get HERE, turn left". Because the "normal" route was far too steep and...

    Getting Euros at the best rate

    Thanks guys! I'll look into setting up a Charles Schwab account. I know it is silly to worry about the fees but they do add up so avoiding them will REALLY help. I am budgeting at USD to EURO conversion of $1 = .80Euro based on things never staying very good on the dollar for long. It'd be...

    Getting Euros at the best rate

    I know cost is a complicated thing to estimate for any couple on the Camino.... However as I get further in to planning my "stateside" wedding I am realizing getting the most out of each dollar towards the Camino will save me a lot of stress in the long run... and the numbers are stressing me...

    SJPDP Arrival Advice Needed

    I can't guarantee that this will be the case when you arrive, but in 2013 when I arrived in SJPdP... We arrived on the LAST bus around 10pm and followed a few other pilgrims to the office where they were waiting for us. They didn't give us our credential that night, they told us to come check...

    Camino Frances Guide or things Brierley never told you

    I agree that this is a good plethora of personal experience information but I'd be afraid of calling it "beginners" info. That would imply that it is more universal than it is, and more simplistic than it is. Perhaps this is my own methodology, but when talking to beginners, I prefer the KISS...

    Remedial Massage along the Camino

    Yes! This guy was great, he looked at all my friends, and I thought to myself "Maybe he could help my pain in my ankle?" I decided not to waste his time but then my friend insisted. I sat in front of him and after a lot of concerned looks he spoke in rapid Spanish to my Brazillian friend. To...

    Arrival Airport

    I'll tell you my story, so maybe you don't repeat it! The number one rule here is, plan your route to the Camino well! Once on the Camino it will guide you, but getting there can be confusing, especially if you have no translator! We arrived early morning into Barcelona, and after wandering...

    What is the current situation of Eunate

    To be honest, it seems to me that the route I took was not a back track. I started in a small town with a little bar, and followed the route towards Eunate, then went back up a different road to Obanos (And thankfully into the church there to rest my arm for a few moments before making the trek...

    What is the current situation of Eunate

    Oh my goodness, Do I have a story for you! I honestly couldn't tell you if it was worth it to go inside, but I can tell you it is certainly worth it to go even when closed! My travel mates and I were splitting up for the day, he was walking ridiculously early with some friends, and as it was...
