    Easter Camino

    I did this 2 years ago, starting from Leon. We arrived the day after Easter. Less crowded, but still busy. The Camino will be busy as well, but still didn’t have any issues with finding places to stay. Be careful of some albergues during this time of year, they may not have heat and it’s cold at...

    Backpack Pillow

    I brought one when I walked, didn't use it once. Wasted weight and space.

    March Camino

    I walked from Leon to Santiago last year in late March. It was wonderful. Make sure to ask if the Albergue has heat. Coming in from a cold rainy day, it feels warm, but at night, it's cold again. You will encounter the same pilgrims through your journey, which is great. Became good friends with...

    Credential in Leon

    I will be starting my Camino in Leon on March 15. Will be arriving by train around 5-6pm. Will there be any difficulty with getting a Credential at that time? Must you get one at the Cathedral or are they available at the Albergue as well. Thank you Buen Camino

    Taxi or Hire Car Santiago to Leon

    I'm doing the same thing in March. Did you find something that worked? I don't want to lose a day waiting for the train or bus. I've looked into renting a car one way for the day for about $50e. Wanted to see if there is an option to take a taxi or hire a car as well.

    Do we have to pre register before our trip?

    I'm planning on starting in Sarria as well. I'm coming from Canada. Would it be better to get a pilgrams passport here (they can be purchased on line, or can you get one for free?) or can you get one when you arrive in Sarria? Are there any prerequisites or advanced notice, etc. for getting...

    Toronto Pilgrims Meeting- Saturday, March 31, 1.30 pm.

    Hi: I was wondering if there would be another meeting coming up. As well, is there any information to share from MEC regarding equipment. I am preparing to go in August and was wondering if there were any last minute tips. Thanks.
