    A new departure for me, Barcelona.

    Re getting to El Pratt there is a very comfy bus leaving from Plaza Catalunya takes about 30 mins and in 2021 was about 6 euro Would be very convenient as Plaza Catalunya is the beginning of La Ramblas wh8ch practically is Barri Gothic

    A new departure for me, Barcelona.

    Sans is the name of main train station in Barcelona Taking into consideration the usual " be vigilant " it is safe to walk streets in Barca. Life only starts there at 10pm :D

    Stomach Bug on Meseta

    Methinks if me did that - me'd get sick just from drinking this pink stuff on a daily basis. Never had a need to do anything of a type. The only place I ever retorted to drinking bottled water was Mexico. Not anywhere in Europe (both East & West), not in South America (although to be fair I...

    All trains are full on Renfe (around May 3-7, 2024)

    Lee. sorry but I'm confused. you used a BlaBla car - as a 'bus' not a private transportation, correct? tooka train to Vigo then jumped on the BlahBlah bus and went to Chamartin where finally got onto the Metro to MAD all for €30 - is that all correct? Thanks

    Re: Current Lunch Prices

    @pjacobi Paul - I am not going to say you are wrong. there is a merit to above post. But, please consider - so.... 1. It is OK to get pickpocketed 1st time around in Europe as long as you are not on the actual Camino but merely 'training' for Camino? and 2. By default - that 1st time in Europe...

    A New Way To Walk The Camino

    You are right...and that would be my last descend at least on this Earth! (I dont cound descending into Hell because, again as per my usual cynical disposition, I strongly believe I am already there ;)) I could also mention that thinking on it - the last thing that would cross my mind would be...

    Would it be overkill to bring both a rain jacket and the Altus poncho in Oct/Nov?

    As per answers above IMHO it is not an overkill. Both items do not represent a lot of weight but give you a variety of options what may work best in many given situations. I walked May-June 2022 (not even Oct\Nov) and I had both jacket and poncho (not Altus but still...) Most of the times I...

    A New Way To Walk The Camino

    and here I thought this was an invitation to walk THE WHOLE CAMINO backwards (I.e. not SdC --> SJPdP but actually with your back towards the destination) With all Respect Due to many people who do not think like me, I do not prescribe to anything AI-related for with my usual cynical trust in...

    Reservation in SJPP

    Not sure why there are posts about Roncesvalles when OP specifically stated that they had an issue with SJPdP and do have reservations "for other places" (presuming Roncesvalles and beyond are just that) I don't know if its for naught or not however if all the albergues, hostals, gites, etc...

    Is it okay to have no plan for the first Camino? 🌙

    I guess from my belfry I will say that regardless of where one starts I will NEVER "not have any7 plans". Weirdly enough - not having a plan is "a plan". And that said, I am sorry there is no such thing. even saying get up and go walking as far as feet carry you and stop to eat when you are...

    Is it okay to have no plan for the first Camino? 🌙

    If I may beg the members iam answering in her native language with English translation following below Ніка Негайно зверніть увагу на те, що обмінний курс гривні --> євро не на вашу користь, ви заплатите 42 гривні за 1 євро! Враховуючи інші теми, в яких обговорюється, що середня щоденна...

    LIVE from the Camino Anyone near Castrojeriz now

    Why don't you just outright ask everyone in albergue if anyone is a member of the Forum? Also I would not call Albergue Orion a "Korean" one just because it's "famous" for its billimbab IIRC none of the staff is Korean
