    Starting tomorrow

    Are you starting your walk from Pamplona or heading for SJPDP or Roncesvalles? The Roncesvalles albergue and the SJPDP pilgrim office have both posted warnings about cold weather and snow on high ground today and tomorrow. Recommending that people walk the Valcarlos route.

    Advice on starting in Roncesvalles

    Probably best to take the train to SJPDP. From there you can take one bus per day to Roncesvalles - run by ALSA and leaves at 13:45. Or you can book a ride with Express Bourricot. https://www.alsa.com/en/web/bus/home https://www.expressbourricot.com/passengers-transport/

    What are your favorite Camino misspellings on the forum?

    Three rescues on the Route Napoleon yesterday

    Here in the UK we often read stories of people contacting the emergency services via the 999 phone service for very trivial reasons. I sometimes wonder about some of the callouts that the Burguete bomberos respond to on the Route Napoleon. Whether the people calling for help are genuinely...

    want solitude

    I am having trouble understanding your motivation for walking the Caminos in particular if you feel that (a) any long walk can be a source of spiritual gain (a position which I totally accept and agree with) and (b) you feel a very strong wish for solitude. On the main Camino routes real...

    What inspires you for the physical aspect of the Way?

    September 2016. In Beilari in SJPDP the night before beginning the Camino Frances for the third time. An older English gentleman in his 70s at the dinner table expressed some doubts about his fitness and decided to walk via Valcarlos with the option of stopping there if it all proved too hard...

    Three rescues on the Route Napoleon yesterday

    My French and Spanish are minimal but I think the core meaning is fairly clear. For those who have even less linguistic ability than me then Google Translate and a phone camera should make it even clearer. Something I have done a number of times with totally incomprehensible (to me) signs and...

    Three rescues on the Route Napoleon yesterday

    Language questions

    The thread started with questions specifically about terms in Spanish which does make such a distinction. As do a number of other languages such as French and German.
