    LIVE from the Camino SJPP to SdC

    And I can help wo From my recent experience I can help with the other questions: Arriving by train us easy and handy. The one coming from Bayonne for example (passing Biarritz) arrives to the next platform in that the little train leaving to SJPP, and the matter waits for the incoming trains...

    LIVE from the Camino My Camino Francés, starting in SJPP

    This morning I left Atapuerca, and I would like to share something that happened while staying in the hostel « La Plazuela Verde »: I was at first happy because the interior is cosy and all hand made, service of washing and drying and the owners are very polite. Said that, later in the day they...

    Hi, it’s about 6-7 hours depending on your pace and in what way you take. I did the « fast » one and it took me less than 5 hours!! But it was steep and definitely slippery

    I have left San Juan de la Calzada, a small village of 20 inhabitants (now 18 apparently), where I spent a funny afternoon/ evening chatting with people from France and drinking many beers with my pilgrim friend Andreas, Anais, Susana, David and Marta. I listed their names because it’s almost a...

    Today is Wednesday and I’m on my way from Santo Domingo de la Calzada to Belorado. Arrows and Camino signals in La Rioja are less visible and frequent than in Navarra. Pay attention otherwise is very easy to get lost. Now we have entered Castilla y Leon and there are much more! The Camino is...

    The use of masks outdoors is advised, but not compulsory. In any case I see many people wearing masks when streets are crowded. Not a bad idea, actually. Remembering how much Spaniards suffered due to restrictions during COVID picks, I understand.

    In the Camino Frances I see that my pilgrim friends find places without any difficulty booking the same day. There are no many pilgrims indeed. Today in my way from Los Arcos to Viana I met 4 people, the rest were Spaniards doing one day walks. I’m staying in Pension San Pedro in Viana and...

    I will, thank you. Tomorrow is forecasted to rain, let’s see what happens. Diner at Los Arcos at the only restaurant of town has been nice. I know most of the pilgrims that are in town, some by name others I recognise only their faces. Stayed in a little pension (Los Arcos) which is nice and clean.

    Today is Friday and I’m already in Los Arcos at 13:30. The Camino is getting less difficult. Perhaps it’s because I’m used now to walk 20k per day, perhaps because it was on the shadows and then fresh and cloudy almost all the way from Estella to Los Arcos. Today I took the “alternative” path...

    Sometimes the Windows stay open, depends on the pilgrims you are with. I alternate with hotels and can say that every place I’ve been is sparkly clean, with obligation to wear a mask respected. Rooms with open windows and now in Estrella air conditioning. People in Spain use masks also in the...
