    Sarria to SdC

    Greetings! My map says that a Morgade start will get you the Compastella, with a few k to spare. It will no doubt be easier to get to Sarria, which is about 11k before. There are a few good websites with maps, information, and albergues. Otherwise the Brierley guidebook or mapbook will be...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Do I need both Proof of Vaccination AND a Negative Test for bus from Pamplona to SJPP

    For what it's worth, I flew to Madrid then to Pamplona to take the bus to SJPP on July 12. No one at the bus station seemed interested in checking my vacc status at all. The bus dropped me off in a parking lot in SJPP, I went to the Pilgrim Office then found an albergue down the street. The...

    "Toe Socks"

    Today is my 29th day on the Camino Frances, loving it all the way. A few years ago on the Appalachian Trail in eastern U.S. I discovered the wondrous world of toe socks. The brand I use is Ingingi. I'm not a gear tester and have no interest in the company. But as a 65 year-old chubby guy, I...

    Compiling a list of refugios that accept tents

    David, thank you for this information! I am walking the Camino Frances starting at St. Jean Pied de Port on July 12. I am used to wilderness trekking, would probably feel naked if I didn't have my little tent along. I'm not concerned about saving money and want to support the albergues. Just...

    April 2021

    I am hoping to start in mid-April, if Spain decides to allow Americans in! Also thinking about going a little earlier, we will see... Question: For those who are experienced C. de Francis walkers, where do you suggest to fly in to? I'll be coming from Florida..

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Planning to walk the Camino Frances - advice for a novice during Covid

    I very much appreciate hearing from an albergue owner. And all the responses in this string are reasonable and helpful. My pilgrimage is tentatively planned for the end of April, 2021. The hope is that life will settle some by then and maybe even that a vaccine will be in use. Reality may be...

    Planning for May 2021

    Presently in the process of planning my trip, doing the Camino France's beginning May of 2021. One question I have is: Which city is best to fly into from Florida, U.S.A.? I am on a tight budget, and no doubt things are a bit uncertain right now, but any advice will be helpful. Many thanks!
