    Camino Verde trail conditions?

    I walked the Verde in2019,loved it,the green patches were easy to follow,and never got lost. After biomorto there is a variant that goes to lavacola then santiago. It is well marked and easy to follow. I wanted to avoid the Frances crush,and would walk this way again. The albergue in biomorto...

    Sleeping bag or Sleeping bag liner

    I always take a bag. Also there is special soap for down bags,wash in bath tub,and dry in dryer on low heat. Came out perfect!

    Long distances between services on the Aragones

    The stretch to ruesta is pretty dry. I drank out of the stock tank on the top of an endless uphill.

    Food on the Primitivo

    I walked the primitivo in 2017 at the age of 75. I enjoyed the walk and found it very doable. I walked the hospitals route and found it a disappointing slog. There was a fellow at the pass selling snacks and drinks. I had no food problems,anywhere. If I did it again(and I loved the trip) I would...

    Littoral path

    I want to do the vasco camino next year and would like to start in Biarritz. I would like to walk the littoral path but have seen various information about it. It is closed-it can be done by jumping the barricades-there is a new alternate path,slightly inland. You can see why I am confused. Does...

    Starting the Camino from the end of Le Puy/ Arles

    I walked from Lescar to Orolon Sainte-Marie, last fall and walked the Aragones to Logrono. The Arles in France is very pretty along the Aspe River. It becomes drier in Spain but was very nice walking to Puenta LA Reina. I walked in September and usually did not see anyone all day,until the...

    Aragones / Invierno advice, please

    I agree.I flew to Pau and walked from Lescar. The walk from there was well worth it!

    Shorter walk. Sleeping bag?

    I also take a sleeping bag now! I walked the primitivo with a silk liner and froze. Only one albergue had blankets(for rent).

    Combined Camino.... Norte - Lebananiego - Vadienese - Olivado - Salvador - Primitivo

    It is easy from Boimorto to walk to Santiago and never see the frances.

    Any pilgrims in their 80s?

    I suggest you start in Irun and walk the camino vasco,avoiding the hard day over the mountains. It is easy to get to as there is a train from Biarritz,and although it has some upside and downs it is prettier than the early frances,and meets the Frances quite early.

    San Salvador and Del Norte

    I walked the primitivo in 2017 Aug 31,and took only a silk liner. I would get cold in the night and have to rummage around in the dark and put on clothes. Only the hostal in boimorto had blankets. My companions were snug and warm in their bags. I walked the Salvador in 2019 and took a bag. I...
