    Planning for a week on the Gudbrandsdalsleden, Norway

    @NadineK thank you for asking these questions and for the others who responded. We have a couple weeks for a walk and are looking at the Gudbrandsdalsleden pilgrimage. We met on the Camino in 2016. We have also served together as hospitaleras (CF and Aragones). Since we are three, I was...

    Jumping to the Ebro- Rain Go AWAY!

    I just left Canfranc and was serving as hospitalera at the new Elías Valińa Albergue. I am sorry you won’t be staying there as it is lovely and the town became so lively with good weather for Semana Santa. When we first arrived it was snowy and then rainy, but for the last few days before Easter...

    Albergue in Canfranc

    It will be good that you are returning! It is such a lovely albergue. We have had 2-4 pilgrims each night and we expect more for Semana Santa - maybe starting today, Saturday. There is still snow at the pass and there is snow in the weather forecast, plus rain this week, so we will see. I think...

    Albergue in Canfranc

    I hope the albergue is open when you come through. It was open for part of the year in 2021 and I know they closed the first week in November because there were no pilgrims coming through, so although their intent is to be open till Nov 21 it is very dependent on the weather and travel from the...

    Albergue in Canfranc

    Hi, yes this is the albergue listed and there are just a few things to consider. First, the albergue is scheduled to be open until mid November, but if the weather is poor then it may close earlier. Please call ahead to check. Also, there is no grocery store in Canfranc, so yes it is good to get...

    Albergue in Canfranc

    Hola from Canfranc and the new FICS albergue Don Elías Valiña. The albergue is open and is named for the parish priest of O Cebriero, who started painting the flechas amarillas - the yellow arrows that guide our way to Santiago :) We have had our first pilgrims this season, 2-4 each night so far...

    Poles don't fit in checked luggage!

    Yes, Hopeful Pilgrim. That was why I brought them home in a friend's bag. Otherwise I would have donated them. Just after typing the response above I got a notification that a friend is stuck in Porto waiting to find out where her checked bag ended up! She's exploring the city more than she...

    Poles don't fit in checked luggage!

    Hi Becky :) Two years ago I took my poles in a sealed mailing tube as carry on. No problems from Oakland to London or on to Bordeaux, though I think it has to do with the TSA agent you encounter. I checked them through on the way back in a friend's bag. This year I am taking poles that fit in my...

    Are these stages too long?

    Thank you Kiwi-family :) I used rome2rio extensively in Spain and France. I even use it back home here in the US. I will enjoy studying your stages and extensive planning! Buen Camino, Deeanne

    Are these stages too long?

    I will be volunteering as hospitalera in Bercianos in October and was looking to walk a few days into my assignment. I have just found this forum about the Camino de Madrid, so I am strongly considering walking some of it into Sahagún and on to Bercianos. I have 4 days after I fly into Madrid...
