    Memorial Garden for Denise Thiem near Astorga

    It was thanks to @Rebekah Scott and donations from members here that this memorial garden is a reality. It might not be a bad idea for those who wish to donate to it's upkeep to donate through Reb's website.

    Not to my knowledge.

    Snow conditions on Route Napoleon for Camino Frances in April

    I use the Weather & Radar app, after trying several over the years I found this to be the best for me.

    T The pilgrims office get their data on the day, weather apps are fine but they won't beat condition reports on the day.

    Snow conditions on Route Napoleon for Camino Frances in April

    As Robo mentioned above, the weather changes rapidly in this area so check with the pilgrim office in SJPP before you leave and take their advice, they will have the most up to date information for that day and will advise you as such. If there is any question at all then use the Valcarlos...

    Where is this?

    Can any of you pinpoint where this photo was taken, my memory and notes are vague. I think it's after Castrojerez on looking towards Hornillos del Camino. TIA.

    Valcarlos route

    I would recommend not taking the trail down into the woods after Valcarlos at that time of year as it's prone to be wet and muddy. The trail plunges down and when you reach the river at the bottom it's straight back up again and all to avoid a curve in the road. I recommend sticking to the road...

    LIVE from the Camino Animal tracks in snow - can someone identify?

    The one on the left is a dog or wolf, the one on the right is the communis peregrinus which are found all along this route.

    When do most pilgrims feel like quitting the Camino de Santiago?

    The first week, it was wall to wall rain and wind, after that I just got on with it and took each day as it came.

    Sorry but that was not meant to be snarky, if I feel that I can't afford a trip I don't go.

    How much did you spend and what was the total cost of your Camino Frances, start to finish?

    I do plan my trips, I just don't spend too much if any time on what things cost me when I get there, that can only really be determined when you get boots on the ground. Each to their own.

    How much did you spend and what was the total cost of your Camino Frances, start to finish?

    I have a different approach to all this. Life has thought me that in the words of Sun Tzu "no plan survives first contact with the enemy" so if I decide to go on Camino, holiday, hiking trip, I just go and take it from there, I spend what I spend without going mad. No point wasting time working...
