    Finding my way along the route

    If you get lost, as I did on my first Camino in 2014 three times you just look for the first person you see and ask for help, you will get it, guaranteed.

    Is Logrono worth spending a day off?

    Yes.

    How busy are July and August usually?

    I agree, one of the best albergues in the first few days from St Jean.

    LIVE from the Camino Live from Spain (notice snow in the mountains in the picture)

    Very jealous, my friend and I start from Burgos at the end of August when I'm pretty certain snow and cold will not be an issue LOL! Have fun.

    Do they speak English ? Clues ? ?

    Many, many people have asked this question before you and the answer is still the same, the majority of Spanish people along the Camino Francis (and other routes) do not speak English and this is not a problem, you will get by just fine and in a few days you will have figured out the important...

    Disappointed

    I learned on my first Camino that if I couldn't afford to lose something I needed to keep it close to me always. What reinforced that lesson was an incident at an albergue I was staying at where someone stole from three pilgrims who had left their valuables on their beds mid-afternoon. I was...

    COVID Trouble contacting Orisson.

    The Camino is not a business but a private Albergue is.

    COVID Trouble contacting Orisson.

    I, too, have asked the same question of them over a month ago and have not heard a word from them. I pre-paid for three people and now there will be just me and still no response. This is not good business for them or the Camino in general.

    Winter Camino Francés video (arrived January 6th, 2021)

    Excellent, I really enjoyed seeing this part of the Camino in winter though I would not walk it myself at this time of year as I really don't like the cold and rain and snow! But good on you.

    Plans for 2021?

    Absolutely, June-July or August-September, haven't finalized dates, however, it depends on the Covid situation, i.e. vaccines!

    Happy 80th birthday, Martin Sheen

    I'm about a third of the way through the book and it's great, well done, especially the way they go back and forth with the chapters.

    Happy 80th birthday, Martin Sheen

    I love that sequence with Alanis Morisette singing "Thank You" (not just because she Canadian) she has a great voice.

    Happy 80th birthday, Martin Sheen

    Me too! Thanks Martin.

    Santo Domingo de la Calzada - plenary indulgence for next 7 years

    I have very fond memories of Santo Domingo de la Calzada, on my first camino I became very ill with food poisoning and the people of the albergue there took very kind care of me for which I will always be grateful. I will visit again this year and will seek the plenary indulgence.

    Short first Day? CF

    My friends and I are in a similar situation, we arrive in Biarritz from Paris after a long flight from Western Canada around 10pm and plan on taking the 7am train to St. Jean, we know we'll be a bit bonkers from lack of sleep so we've booked Orrison for our first night on the camino. This will...

    Walking the Camino Frances multiple times - why?

    Because I have been three times and have not walked the entire way at one go. I will this August with two friends who will be on their first camino.
