    Accomodation in Valcarlos

    Hi all! I'm starting my Camino in SJPdP on April 1st - no jokes! 😉 But I'm struggling to book a bed in the Albergue in Valcarlos. I've emailed them more than once but are not receiving any replies. Did anyone else have the same experience?

    Preparations for CF, April 2018

    Hi Peter I agree with Givesome. Weather ranged from VERY hot ( high 30s) to very cold during April last year. Many mornings I've started walking with gloves & a beanie. My hands would have been very painful without them. We also had some snow late in the route. I was also very grateful that I...

    Definitely! The best description I've heard is that you get to think about something until you've finished thinking about it. I miss that so much.

    Preparations for CF, April 2018

    Hi Peter - sorry - for some reason I missed your comment. I walked for 27 days from SJPP to Santiago. It meant long days and some injuries but had limited time so it worked for me I think I would have had issues with the language but luckily made friends with a Spanish speaking Irish man within...
