    June 2013...got tickets already!

    We got the tickets for $960 flying with Iberia. One tip is looking on Kayak.com or other online services on Wednesday night. Usually they offer their best deals at that time. Good luck!

    Planning to walk El Camino Frances in late May of 2013

    Thank you for your feedback and answers to my questions! One more about cash vs. credit cards. I have read that one should carry at least two credit cards and cash. Does that mean that the albergues take credit cards or is that true only for markets, hotels and restaurants? I'm trying to...
