    Help with accommodation on Camino Francés

    great and what do you do if you can't find a bed at the planned location? Not everyone is in a position to simply walk another 8-10-15 kilometres. So my beds from Astorga on Monday are all reserved and that's a reassuring feeling for me (77 years old)

    Orisson & Borda

    you can walk to Borda or a little further, then take the afternoon shuttle back to SJPDP, sleep there and then, the next morning, let the shuttle take you back to where you were picked up the day before

    WhatsApp…Valcarlos albergue ?

    I'm also currently trying to book accommodation for my Camino this year. I realise that a lot of 6... phone numbers, that were still in Whatsapp in September, no longer work. I assume the accommodation providers are currently closed and don't want to be bothered via WA at the moment.

    Auberge Borda

    slept there in 2022. Very nice hostel with a total of 14 beds, including one private room, otherwise 3 rooms (with private bathroom) with 4 beds each, but everyone has their privacy. Shared dinner (and breakfast). 2022 exactly the same price as Orisson. Very popular, so book in advance. In 2022...

    Problems with "Camino Love" App

    Would like to use "Camino Love" on my upcoming Camino, but am having my problems. After I have selected the "Camino Frances", the map appears from SJPDP. To get to a certain place, e.g. Burgos, I can only shimmy my way there along the displayed Camino. What am I doing wrong? How can I...

    Finding &/or booking Albergues and Hostels

    note that all Spanish telephone numbers beginning with a 6 belong to a mobile phone. Many of them also do whatsapp, it is always an attempt to contact. Many of them also understand English, but also your cell phone probably has a way to translate texts into Spanish and copy them to whatsapp or...

    ALSA bus Madrid to Burgos

    Apart from possible flight delays, waiting for luggage and possibly passport control, remember ALSA buses leave from Terminal 4, the airport is very spacious, depending on which terminal you arrive at, you will need some time even with the shuttle bus. I would be safe enough time to plan and in...

    Planning for Camino Frances April 2023 - How cold is it?

    no one can tell you what the weather is like in April 23. I have almost always run in the second half of April - first half of May and have had everything, 2 weeks of rain, but also 4 weeks without a drop from above. So you should be prepared for everything. I always have a 600g light sleeping...

    Walking time from SJPP to Borda

    I also slept at Borda in April (a fantastic hostel). with 75, I am no longer the fastest and needed exactly 3 hours to Orisson, where I took a break and then another 20 minutes uphill to Borda. Normally you don't have to pay in advance at Lorenzo (unlike Orisson). Lorenzo is a very nice host and...

    With my Goole translation app, I can also translate entire conversations online very comfortably and without any problems. Select language A and language B, speak in my language, the device with speech recognition translates it as text and also online with voice output. Then I select the...

    Recommendations for camino frances

    I have done this very often successfully. Practically every mobile phone has a translation app. My Spanish is also very very limited, but writing text (in my language), having it translated by the app, copying it and pasting it into email or Whatsapp worked perfectly.

    Recommendations for camino frances

    In order not to be confronted with full or closed hostels at the planned overnight stops at the age of 75, I completely pre-booked my Camino to Burgos this year. First of all, I checked Gronze.com and looked for hostels with private rooms. I wrote to them by email or Whatsapp (phone numbers that...

    CF accommodation during San Fermin festival

    it will be difficult to find a bed in an albergue and also in the hotels. I know only one open albergue that time, "Casa Paderborn", but it should be not possible, to make a reservation. Good luck

    Orisson Open?

    I hope this absolutely unreasonable decision by the two idiots will be really expensive for them.
