    LIVE from the Camino HELP!! Nowhere to stay tomorrow

    In Germany, there are still many camino routes with barely a soul. One can walk all day and not encounter another person. For all those people that want total personal time, come to Germany and enjoy the sausage, beer, air, nature and camino life with no people.

    Walking at 4 am. Under a full moon?

    I've done a night Camino on the meseta. Basically agreed with some of the Camino Family to sleep very early evening and leave at 10pm so we 'closed' our dorm room and slept till then. It was beautiful, cold and very different after getting away from the said Family. The most amazing thing was...

    Compact Camino Frances - how to choose which etapas to walk vs bus

    I didn't like the older stage from Santovenia through Ibeas, along the N129, nor the later more popular way along the N1 once Villafria was reached. However, the newer way with a slight detour is really lovely. Everyone now knows the river route, but with just a small detour to the monastery of...

    Compact Camino Frances - how to choose which etapas to walk vs bus

    It sounds like you are quite young and as you live in Spain doing what many people have done would surely be feasible. That is, why don't you get yourself to St jean or Roncesvalles and start walking until the end of your available time and then at some point in the future, just continue from...

    Night in Biarritz?

    When I have flown into BIQ on a late flight in the past, I have booked the Ibis, which is about a 15 minute walk from the arrivals terminal. The Ibis is clean and comfortable and there is a restaurant on site. Unfortunately, it is along the road and there is no dedicated footpath for that short...

    Madrid / Salvador / Primitivo or the Frances from St Jean

    Thank you for the great feedback folks. This is so useful and has helped me to decide that a Madrid Camino in Summer wouldn't be the wisest choice. I thinki I'll possibly stick with the Frances but may vary the start and walk the Aragones first. But also, I will find a time this week to sit down...

    Madrid / Salvador / Primitivo or the Frances from St Jean

    I am in early planning stages for a July / August 2020 Camino (the only time I can walk) I have walked the Frances 3 times already, but LOVE it very much. I love the Frances because it is easy and has so much Camino infrastructure as well as churches and Mass (almost) every evening. I regard...

    Holy Year

    I can totally see this. I'm planning a 2020 Camino, a Camino in 2022 and completely avoiding 2021.

    Camino Francés June 2020

    I was waiting on the Easyjet schedule too, but unfortunately the only flight on a Sunday is late on and I will get in to Paris at 8.30 am. Looks like I'll take the train and spend the Sunday night in Bayonne before an early train to St Jean on the Monday. Well, I always wanted to check out that...
