CA_Pilgrim replied to the thread Have Pilgrim's Passport, but do I need to register at a local pilgrim's office before I can stay in municipal albergues?.My experience is no you do not need to register. When I arrived in SJPDP, the office was closed for a very long lunch and I never got back to register or get my stamp from them (one of my few regrets). I did get a stamp from the albergue I was... -
CA_Pilgrim replied to the thread Bugs / Insects on Route Frances.I didn't encounter any biting or stinging insects though they are probably there. However, the face flies were a big nascence. I like to spray my hat with a non-DEET gear friendly repellant that doesn't have an unpleasant odor. I found Off...

CA_Pilgrim replied to the thread What’s the difference between my two chargers?.Probably the difference is in the maximum wattage output. I'm guessing the Apple charger peaks out at 20W and the Qualcomm charger peaks out at around 65W. Since the phone is probably only capable of accepting 20W, it will throttle the 65W charge...

CA_Pilgrim replied to the thread Two backpacks?.I thought about the pack in the pack option. I could get it to work, but I found that the second pack just added too much weight and took up too much space. I also thought about using a small stuffable pack as a daypack, but I like having a frame...

CA_Pilgrim replied to the thread Accommodation - to book or not to book.It depends on what you want out of the Camino. For my first Camino (CF 2022), I prebooked the entire distance from SJPDP to Santiago. Glad i did because it was a busy time (May/June) with lots of penned up demand due to the pandemic and holy...

CA_Pilgrim replied to the thread Best route into Burgos.Most definitely the river path! I ignored all the advice and took the shorter road route. What a mistake!! Mile after mile of industrial hell and no place to stop for food or restrooms until you get to the Burger King and McDonalds at the edge of...

CA_Pilgrim replied to the thread Stamping process.I almost always got mine at check in. During the last 100 Km, I tried to get two per day (e.g., at a bar along the way) as required for the Compostella, but there was at least one day when I didn't get the second stamp. They don't seem to enforce...
