We have set up a small "conversation" group of people who are beginning in SJPP on the first five days of April. I will add you --- if you want to join the conversation.
Hi KimI am walking my first Camino on April 1st, so may run into some of you. I will spend the night in SJPDP on March 31st and leave the next morning. I need to research the Napoleon route vs Valcaros in case of snow. I plan on staying the first night in Orisson so I meet some fellow walkers as I am starting my walk alone.
Hope to see you too!Hi Kim/Bobby/JKF, I'm also planning to start from SJPdP on 1st April, although I should end my first day in Roncevalles. Hoping also to see you
See you in SJPDP with that Dodgers hat!Hi JKF, I am also starting on April 1st in SJPDP!. Like I mentioned to Kim, be on the lookout for my LA Dodgers hat! Hope to see you all there.
Hi Kim
A few of us are starting 1 April and staying in SJPDP on 31 March.
I plan on staying in Orisson on the first night also - weather depending!
See you soon, no doubt!
Janine
yes, I am sure I will end up at Valcarlos also.Because Orisson was not sure if they would be open yet, I decided to walk the Valcarlos way and booked April 1st at the albergue there.
I just googled it and sent them an email! Hopefully hear from them soon. Thanks!The Valcarlos Luzaide Municipal albergue, you can email them at luzaide-valcarlos@wanadoo.es.
Just send them your name and the date you want and they will send a response. Another person on this site did the same and shared that info with me.
Just heard back from them! All good. Reserved.I was not the other person but also booked up that hostel via email.
Captain Linda, where do you plan to stay in SJPP on the night of April 25? I am planning on staying at the Beilari. Sounds like your group and I may be starting about the same time.Hi Elizabeth! Myself and two friends will be leaving the Florida Keys on the 24th of April to fly into Madrid. We'll take the train to Pamplona and then a private car from Pamplona to SJPDP. Walked in 2014 the first time and loved it so much I'm going again! Maybe will see you there! Buen Camino!
Done. You should be in the "conversation".Hi there!
I'll be leaving SJPdP on april 14th, I know it is later than you but I was thinking... will any of you post any news on the first days you start your walk?! Because if you will, I'd like to know what are the conditions on the the CF on Napoleon Route...
I'd like to wald the Napoleon route but am a little concerned about the possibility of snow.
Can I join your group to follow your chat?
Thank you.
Hi, I am starting on the 2nd April. Please, could I join your conversation of others starting the camino at the same time. Thank you, KarynDuane, I will be starting that morning, too (plan to be in Pamplona on Sunday night and then connect over on Monday morning). We have set up a separate "conversation" on the forum for those starting from SJPP the first half of that week of April. I will "invite" you into that group, if you have an interest.

I am from SC and am starting around that time. I fly into Madrid on the 6th. I hope to run into you. I will most likely be wearing a Clemson cap! Buen Camino!Hey! I walked the Camino from SJPP to Santiago in 30 days in 2015, started Sept 24 and finished Oct 24. It was an amazing experience, so I'm going back in April! I plan to start on April 11 in SJPP and this time go to Finisterre. I have nothing but wonderful memories and look forward to experiencing the Camino in another season. Perhaps we will meet along the way. You will fall in love with the Camino! It is a magical place. Buen Camino!

I'll be staying at Beilari. It was the perfect start to my last Camino, so I can't imagine staying anywhere else. They will start taking reservations in February. Buen Camino!
Hi, I am planning to walk in April 2017. From what I gather the journey from SJPDP takes 35 days to Santiago de Compostela. I need to book my flight for when I am done and hope that 35 days will be enough? I'm 32 years old and quite fit so I think I should be able to finish in time.
Will April be a very quiet month or will there be pilgrims to meet on the journey. I am travelling alone and am hoping to meet some interesting people along the way.
I am flying to Madrid from Windhoek, Namibia. What is the easiest way to get to SJPDP from Madrid. From what I see a flight from Madrid to Biarritz, France and then by Train to SJPDP seems to be the easiest? Any suggestions. I will only be spending one night in Madrid and then want to get to SJPDP as fast as I can to start the walk.
From what I gather April is mostly fine during the day with cold nights and some chances of rain. May seems to be the perfect month to walk, however am I right in saying that April is fine as well?
Cannot wait!
Hi Jaco,
Great to find someone here who's also planning to start walking early April! I was starting to worry I might have planned my trip too early in the season. I'm arriving at SJPP on 1 April, planning to start walking on 2 April. Have you learned anything crucial on this forum since joining? I'm planning 33 days to Santiago and would really like to add the walk to Finisterre, but let's see how much time I have! If anyone has any advice it's very welcome. Very much looking forward to go!

Iris -- there is a group of us (not friends, just met on this forum) who are leaving the first few days of April. We have a "conversation" started. I will invite you to join that group. Gary

Hi Iris, I'm started the same day as you so hopefully we'll bump into one another. It looks like the Nepoleon route is still shut - shame! I'm so excited.Hi Jaco,

That's such a shame, fingers crossed the weather will miraculously clear up!Hi Iris, I'm started the same day as you so hopefully we'll bump into one another. It looks like the Nepoleon route is still shut - shame! I'm so excited.
