    Pamplona bag drop and possible Zubiri-Pamplona shortcut

    For family need reasons I have to cut shorter a short Camino from Sjpdp to Pamplona next week, in order to catch a 3 pm train in Pamplona to Madrid for a flight home. Any recs where in Pamplona to have a modest-sized pack sent from Zubiri, now that I don’t have lodging to send it to? Given...

    Is it permissible to skip Sarria to Santiago?

    It's a beautiful walk full of energy, enthusiasm, and interesting peregrinos.

    One day walk into Santiago

    When I had to eliminate most of my first planned walk due to illness, I was able to walk from Lavacolla to Santiago, giving me at least a taste of the Camino (Frances), with its stops, cellos, and other walkers.

    SJPDP vs Sarria for Newby

    I walked from Sarria to Santiago a couple of years ago and am returning to walk the SJPDP to Pamplona stretch this April, as a part of a longer trip. Since you don't mind crowds, I think walking the last 117 km from Sarria will give you a great experience. I left lodging mid-morning and had...

    Is it good to fly into Bilbao or Biarritz?

    Flying from Seville into Bilbao 10:15 am and wanting to get to Bayonne for an overnight before heading to SJPDP, traveling in late April. Looks like options are a direct bus later in the day or a bus with a change in San Sebastian. Any recommendations for the journey, or for Flixbus vs. Alsa...

    Nervous about going alone, without my partner

    71, married 48 years. I have walked part of the way with my husband, whose bad knee made it harder for him to walk more than a few miles a day (he taxied when he had to stop, or started late and we met up). I'm planning a solo short walk in late April, from St Jean to Pamplona, part of a...

    Do you collect a Compostela?

    I got one the first time I qualified and don't feel like I need another. I will get a credential stamped as a meaningful remembrance of my next round in April.

    Senior Walking the Portuguese Coastal Route in the Rain: Advice Needed

    I'll just throw in another view. Walking the Frances, specifically in Galicia in April (2022), I ended up leaning into the rain. I wore Chaco's Z-Cloud sandals, with Injiji toe socks when it was colder. (I had ditched the trail runners that had made things worse.) For my feet the sandals were...
