    Cycling bells a must!

    I locomoted from SJPdP to Santiago this September. I say locomoted instead of walking because I rented a bike from Burgos to Leon to make up time due to injury and rest days. The bike I rented did not have a bell or kick stand. As I approached perigrinos I would shout out (well in advance of...

    SJPP to Santiago

    I also noticed the distance discrepancy during my Camino. I was using the mapmywalk app and it would show greater end of day distances than the guidebook I was using (Dintaman). I assumed (correctly or not) that the distances quoted in the guides are from specific alburgues to other specific...

    Only 3 months planning

    Yes! I know this feeling! Ever since I learned of the Camino, I've had an overwhelming desire to walk it. I leave SJPdP at the end of August and I can't wait to start!

    Using travel SIM card on camino

    I'm planning to forego the SIM card and set the phone (iPhone 4) to not receive a cellular signal during my camino. I've downloaded the SKYPE app and will use that to make calls (if needed) and check email (if I cannot resist) when a WIFI connection is available. Other than that, I hope to use...

    Sleeping attire

    I was wondering the same thing. I'm planning to carry a pair of very light sweatshorts and a cotton t-shirt for modesty's sake in the evenings. Dave

    Spanish Language

    I purchased the Rosetta Stone program and have started working through it in the evenings. I have 5 months to gain some level of proficiency before I leave SJPdP. I'd really like to immerse myself in the language while I'm in Spain and only speak English when absolutely necessary.

    A pilgrim has died on the Camino near Roncesvalles - March 2013

    So very sad! May he rest in peace.
