David Tallan replied to the thread New Visa Rules Starting Mid 2025 - Schengen Area (Includes Spain & France).There are a lot of threads on this topic. The first thing to say is that there is difference between ETIAS and visas. I see you are from Toronto (like me). And ETIAS is more like the Nexus pass you might get to drive to the States, a pre-security... -
David Tallan replied to the thread Proposal to allow reservations for Xunta albergues.That is true only in the case where all beds are reservable. If there are also beds that cannot be reserved, then pilgrims who do not reserve ahead and like to walk early can also have a satisfactory pilgrimage.

David Tallan replied to the thread Proposal to allow reservations for Xunta albergues.There is uncertainty and risk both with and without booking. You have articulated well the risk and uncertainty of going without a booking. Will you be able to sleep where you want to? But you seem to be ignoring the risk and uncertainty of...

David Tallan replied to the thread Proposal to allow reservations for Xunta albergues.As trecile suggested, it was a typo or autocorrect. I have corrected it. 40 beds in albergues that take reservations. Another 40 beds in albergues that do not. A total of 80 beds for 100 pilgrims. I hope that allows you to proceed.

David Tallan replied to the thread Proposal to allow reservations for Xunta albergues.OK, I'm not a systems engineer, just some guy who has been around the pilgrim block a few times. So, like you, I will use a couple of scenarios to try and show how it looks to me. You can then bring your engineering skills and experience to bear...

David Tallan reacted to Robo's post in the thread Older Pilgrims - What gets harder? Is more 'Support' required? with
Like.
What gets harder with age? I'm "only" 68 this year. A youngster compared to many of our members I know. And I hope to have many more Caminos ahead of me. There are so many routes I still want to walk. But I'm also realistic and recognise... -
David Tallan reacted to NUFC57's post in the thread Camino Frances start SJPP 15th May with
Buen Camino!.
Flight booked to Biarritz 14th May arriving 1835, just trying to sort transport to SJPP as too late for bus and trains. Intacted Express Bourricot and they can take me for 140 euro. If 3 others are on that Paris flight 1705 the the price... -
David Tallan reacted to Maxsmom's post in the thread Hello. I’m planning to do the Camino in May with Buen Camino!.
Hi hope to see you. I’m also 71 and walking my first- starting in SJPP my start date is likely May 4 or 5

David Tallan replied to the thread Proposal to allow reservations for Xunta albergues.Either way, it is a commitment on your part to be there and a commitment on their part to provide a bed (or not - I've given a heads up to the hospi on a remote Camino only to be told that the albergue would not be available that day). At least...

David Tallan replied to the thread A slow Camino Mixto May 2025.I cannot imagine a full albergue on the Madrid. Most of the time I was the only pilgrim in the albergue (June 2023, not low season). That said, it is considered polite generally to let them know when you will be arriving so that the albergue is...
