    Pilgrim Playlists

    I took my fully loaded I pod nano, used it only on a very few occasions....soothing meditation sounds of waves to block the snoring at night, a couple of opera tunes to connect me to my fella back home & some selected tunes on the buses, trains heading home....otherwise the sounds of the walk...

    Hotel rooms rather than hostels?

    I also take this varied approach...a good mix of private/ municipal Albergues with the occasional family run pension when the sleep deprivation gets out of hand!!....also found plenty of quiet corners in the garden/ courtyard to spend the night as I love sleeping under the stars...

    To cross Pyrenees or not?? Experienced walker?

    27 Year Old Female from New York City

    In absolute agreement with all the previous posts, I walked solo last year from SJPP to Finistere & enjoyed every km, either alone with my thoughts, with a newly made friend or slightly more "challenging" companion, all of which situations you can change in a short tea break at the next village...
