      Have you tried texting instead of calling on WhatsApp? When I need to reach hotels or pensions in Spain I text them on WhatsApp and normally receive a prompt reply.

      Awesome! Looking forward to hearing about your journey. I walked it in December and did not see a single pilgrim, but still had a great time. Your weather looks good for this week.

      Thanks! I ended up using the Mapy.cz app and it was perfect for my needs.

      Perhaps that's because many pilgrims take the shorter road-route from Besain to Zegama. It's the one shown on Gronze. Such a shame! Even with the fall, this was one of my favourite Camino days. I also added the delightful detour to Zerain.

      Thanks @jcat for sharing your journey. I've great memories of my mini-Vasco last year. The photo of the slippy stones evoked a not-so happy memory. They were just as hazardous in June and despite being careful, I fell quite heavily. Although it...

      Yes, that is exactly where it is. I had a few falls in that section, which is more falls than I have had in my entire prior 30 years of hiking:). I was a muddy mess when I finally got to pavement, but no injuries. Sorry for your fall, in my...

      Oh, the albergue could have been open, I meant nothing else open for the locals. Seemed like the entire town was hanging out at Ostatu Zegama and I did not see anything else open in town, but I did not look for the albergue. My meal at the...
