    LIVE from the Camino Current big wave at beginning of Francés

    But who is going to be the 0.2 perigrino? Perhaps someone 2 months pregnant?

    Conditions on Napoleon today (April 27)

    A peregrino in Pamplona today who crossed on the 26th said there was minimal snow but it was muddy. A biker arrived in Pamplona today (28th) from SJPP and had no problems.

    Yes, Betania was full with pilgrims in line; we had reduced capacity because the Diocese took some of our space for a cultural program. Usually we have 18.

    Not surprising: it is Saturday night when many Spaniards come to the city, on top of the pilgrims.

    That explains a lot about Zubiri this weekend

    LIVE from the Camino Current big wave at beginning of Francés

    Zubiri was full early yesterday (by 2:30, according to some pilgrims who came to Pamplona today), but Zubiri opened up a municipal building just past the town for some pilgrims to sleep on the floor! I haven’t seen that done before. We all know these first few days are a choke point, but I am...

    The long range forecast for next week includes a fair amount of rain and clouds in Pamplona, but forecasts change!

    Silk liners can't take hot dryer? What do if bed bugs?

    A professional exterminator tried 4 days at -40 degrees, and the bugs revived after they warmed up. Freezing apparently doesn’t work as well as we would like.

    Thank you for your trail report. I am hospitalera in Pamplona and one of our pilgrims was deciding whether to travel to SJPP to start or to start from here in Pamplona. You clinched her decision. BTW, consider stopping here at Betania, a new Donativo in Pamplona. We haven’t been full yet...

    In Pamplona where I am serving as hospitalera, we have seen the crowd from last weekend that started in SJPP and Roncesvalles work their way through the Zubiri bottleneck, and start to spread out. BTW, there was a dusting of snow in Roncesvalles last night!

    LIVE from the Camino New donativo in Pamplona is open: Betania

    No reservations but we have had plenty of open beds every night since we are new. See you tomorrow!

    I’m back in Pamplona serving at the new donativo Betania. Love the brand new kitchen, it makes cooking a joy! Hasn’t been full yet here. The overseeing priest, Fr. Cuco (as he wants to be called) is super friendly. Stop in if you’re in Pamplona!

    Yes, through Hosvol and Manuel.

    LIVE from the Camino New donativo in Pamplona is open: Betania

    I just started today volunteering at Betania, a wonderful small Donativo at the far end of Pamplona old town. It just opened last summer; all bunk beds (no mats!), usually 14 beds but in a pinch can expand to 18, and with plans to expand in the future, depending on income and grants. Father...

    Returning Home & Preventing a Bedbug Infestation!

    STERI -FAB is the insecticide the professional exterminator recommended to me. It is available on Amazon , has good human safety studies. It is alcohol-based and requires soaking the article.
