    le puy route

    Hi, I'm planning to do the camino in september 2007 (I already walked it in 2003) starting from St Jean, but I've also been planning to yearly walk a stretch of the road from Le Puy to St Jean. I will start the first 90km from Le Puy this may and I was wondering what everyone's experience...

    Accomadation in Valcarlos

    I stayed in casa marcelino, which was very nice. The young lady behind the desk was very helpful although I spoke no spanish and she nothing else. She showed me how to open the doors so I could leave before the hotel opened again in the morning, which was very kind. The room itself was...

    To cross the pyrenees or not to cross...

    Hi, I walked in 2003 and as I was very wary of crossing the pass after St Jean, so I decided to take the side road and divide to walk to Roncevalles in two. The first 16km or so were to Valcarlos where I stayed the night and the next day was another 16km or so to Roncevalles. A slightly...

    Walking with my dog

    I walked in 2003 and I met a few people with dogs. I noticed they were never allowed to bring the dog in the refugio. In one case, the dog was not even allowed on the grounds and had to be tied outside while the pilgrims got their stamp. I saw at least one couple with a dog who camped along the...

    Autumn camino

    In 2003, I walked the camino in may-june which was great although I caught the first week of the july rush which was horrid. In order to avoid large groups next year, I had been thinking of walking in september-october. Does anyone have exerience with that? Would most refugios still be...
