    Feast Day Mass

    I plan on arriving in SDC on July 23, and stay a day or two. How feasible is it that I will be able to get a seat for the 10:00 Mass on the Feast Day, the 25th? Am I better off attending a Pilgrim's Mass the day before?

    Pilgrimage or vacation?

    You could assume good intent. We cannot expect people who have not done this to know the correct/preferred terminology.

    First day - Route Napoléon, or Valcarlos?

    I see. Thank you. That's part of the Napolean route? And is it well marked?

    First day - Route Napoléon, or Valcarlos?

    There's an alternate path down from Roncevalles?

    How many stamps?

    I am starting the CF from SJPP on June 15. How many stamps per day do people usually get? I know that I will need 2 per day from Sarria on.

    Personal safety, mainly. I wouldn't want random strangers on the internet knowing where to find me as a woman traveling alone.

    Please Recommend Lightweight Backpack On Camino Frances

    Go to your local REI (or similar), and work with someone there. They will be able to make recommendations based on your journey, and you will be able to try them on. Different brands are going to fit your frame differently, even different models of backpack within each brand will. I'm 5'5", and...

    Is 42 days for SJPDP to Finisterre too long?

    I am going mid-June through early August next year (SJPDP to SDC, and then continuing to Muxia and Finesterre) and my trip will encompass 50 days: 2 travel days on each end, 1 day at the beginning to explore SJPDP, 5 rest days, 40 walking days. I will average 14 miles per day. I wouldn't want to...

    Question about phones and SIM cards in Spain

    How would this work for Apple phones? I don’t think there’s a place to put a SIM card.

    Lightest possible hiking boots

    I have a pair of La Sportiva. They're very cushiony with good ankle support. I can't remember the exact ones, but they weigh in at about 13 ounces each.

    Best way to get to St. Jean Pied de Port from Ontario Canada

    Fly into Biarritz, then Express Bourricot right to SJPDP. Easy peasy. On the way home, fly out of Porto direct to your home airport.
