Accommodation and stamping of passport - hostel/hotel??
Can't comment on the weather in October as I've only walked in May/June. But, as far as accommodation is concerned, it's really worth trying albergue accommodation. I'm a bit introverted, but found I quickly adapted to dormitory accommodation, surprised myself really. Though I did stay in...- Trudy

New tasmanian walkers want flight advice from Australia
My recommendations would be to fly into Paris and stay there a couple of nights to recover from jetlag. The worst thing you can do is to start walking as soon as you arrive in France, the body definitely needs to recover from a 24 hour flight! Then, take the TGV from Paris Gare Montparnasse to...- Trudy

Class of 2009
Sorry Brendan, but that information is incorrect. Australians can enter the Schengen Zone, visa free, for a period of 90 days out of every 180 days. This applies to the entire Zone. It is definitely not 90 days per country - how I wish it was! Passports are not stamped these days, but are...- Trudy

Novice: I would like to walk for 25 days?
I loved the Meseta and was really surprised at the number of people bussing between Burgos and Leon in order to avoid it. But then I'm Australian too, and wouldn't have been surprised to see a kangaroo in those surroundings! You could make it Santiago in 25 days, if you are extremely fit and...- Trudy

Walking alone May 2009
I'm female and walk the Camino Frances alone and have never had any problems. You will meet many pilgrims in Roncesvalles, and your paths will cross all the way to Santiago de Compostela. You will never be alone on the Camino unless you choose to be. It is probably one of the safest places...- Trudy

Do you know where this is?
Agree with the others. Looks very much like the stretch about halfway between Villamayor de Monjardin and Los Arcos, just after the path has taken a left turn heading towards Los Arcos.- Trudy

Ruta Ignaciano + Ruta de los Tres Templos
Hi Angela, here's a website that provides information and map on the Ruta de los Tres Templos. It's in Spanish, but you could translate with Google or Babelfish: http://pais-vasco.iberiarural.es/rutas/guipozcoa/ruta-de-los-tres-templos/ruta-de-los-tres-templos111.htm Trudy- Trudy

Credentials/passport.
It would be much easier, and cheaper, to get your credential at the Pilgrim Office in Roncesvalles when you arrive. The cost is 1 or 2 euros. You will need to go there anyway, and fill in paperwork, in order to get the credential stamped. You can also buy scallop shells there to tie onto your...- Trudy

New on Camino / starting 11 Nov 2007
Hi Zoltan, You can certainly sleep in the Sarria refugio on the night you arrive, and should be able to buy a pilgrim pass (credencial) there as well for 1 or 2 euros. The refugioe is in the Rua Mayor, and apart from the municipal refugio, there are several private refugios in this street...- Trudy

Somewhere to stay in Roncesvalles
The La Posada hotel is quite good. Rooms around 40euros in May, but do ask for one with a TV especially if you're staying more than one night. Nice restaurant and bar attached, and Pilgrim menu available.- Trudy

Need for a visa
Hi Judith, Australians do not need a visa to enter Europe. Both France and Spain are part of the Schengen Zone, and as an Australian you can stay in this area for three months. On arrival in Paris your passport will be scanned and that's it.- Trudy

Obtaining a credencial in Burgos?
Burgos Credentials For credencials, try the Cathedral ticket office or the main Tourist Information office which is just a few metres away from the Cathedral. If neither of these places have credencials, they can direct you to the right place. I had never used hiking poles before the...- Trudy

Walking in April
Hi Moonwood, wear socks with your sandles. Not the sort of thing you would do at home, but as a you are a pilgrim noone will take any notice, certainly not other pilgrims. Comfort is the main thing.- Trudy

Boots and sandals Hi Trish, it's a good idea to take sandals as well as boots, just to have something comfortable to change into at the refugio after walking. Trudy- Trudy

CAMINO DE SANTIAGO IN JUNE
Hi Goritsa There are several Camino routes in Spain, but I think all of them take more than 7 days to complete. Have you considered walking the last 100kms of the Camino Frances, from Sarria to Santiago? That way you will experience the Camino and also be entitled to collect your pilgrim...- Trudy

There is some information, and a list of accommodation, on the Le Puy en Velay tourism website http://www.ot-lepuyenvelay.fr/versionanglaise/siteang/images/arc/j7.html. Some of it seems out of date but it might be of use to you. It does say that pilgrim credentials are available from the...- Trudy

From Roncesvalles to Compostela.
Mabel, your post has made me feel so much better. I started the Camino last year but, due to a knee injury, only made it from Roncesvalle to Estella. So got the train to Santiago, stopping off at Burgos and Leon on the way. Although I wasn't walking it was still an emotional time as I didn't...- Trudy
