    Camino from Paris, What is the Albergue situation?

    Hello In the Camino departing from Paris, what is the albergue situation? Is there plenty of well spaced, affordable albergues? Are they municipal or private? Does anyone have a list or app they could recommend? Thanks

    Who has enjoyed the pilgrims meal in Seminario Mayor San Martin Pinario?

    I'll be arriving in Santiago on probably the 22nd and was wondering what people thought about this meal. My understanding is that the pilgrims meal here is a bit of an institution and one that is often overlooked. Any opinions or information?

    Albergue kitchens closed down

    I'm on my third camino and just arrived in Los Arcos on the CF. I'm really disappointed in the fact that most of the albergue kitchens have been closed down. The cooking hobs have been disconnected and only the microwave is available. Not even a kettle left to use. I understand it's probably an...

    Frameless packs

    Question to all those who use a frameless back pack. I moved over to a framed backpack a number of years ago. The main reason was ventilation along my back. I just remember my back sweating like crazy, it all being either soaked up into the pack or running down my back in a huge stream that...

    Too late to start preparing & weather in May?

    " I turn the woolen fleece inside out and sit in the sun. The moisture build up will evaporate, it looks like I am steaming and it will cool." Nice hack.

    Too late to start preparing & weather in May?

    The camino, especially the Frances is very versatile. If you feel out of shape or overweight just walk accordingly.

    Delivery of purchases online

    Hi Lads Quick question i hope hasn't been asked before.

    Crisis of confidence

    One thing that always gets me about Caminos in general and the Frances in particular is how versatile they are. One can walk largely any daily distance one wants, there is bound to be multiple accommodation options along the way. One can stay in a number of accommodation options from Albergue to...
