    Winter albergue list

    I passed San Anton about 10 days ago. Yes it was open! When talking to the hospitalero he said, he does not know, how long he will stay there and keep it open. His fear was not to have enough firewood for heating. Eckart

    Paying a Medical Bill from the Junta de Castilla y Leon

    You could use https://wise.com/ . This system allows you to send money from your credit card directly to a Spanish bank account and the fees are much less than an international transfer typically would be.

    Variante Espiritual Boat Ride

    Yes it was a little dingy, end of september 2013 or 2015. I think the captain chose the smallest boat available. Compared to now very few pilgrims used the variante espiritual in these years and I met only couple in the two hiking days from Pontevedra to Vilanova de Arousa.

    Car rental from Lourdes to SJPdP

    If you visit Lourdes, you are already very close to the Camino Aragones. Why don't you start with this branch of the Camino? Starting point could be e.g. Somport Pass or Oloron St. Marie. You will then join the main route of the Camino Frances just before Puente la Reina. Both starting points...

    Dreaming of my 1st Camino. and - Did anybody here walk from Girona?

    If you are already in Girona on the south side of the Pyrenees, you could start walking from Somport Pass or from Jaca on the very beautiful Camino Aragones (my preferred route for starting the Camino Frances).

    Do you have tips for meeting people on the Camino?

    I would recommend to walk a different, less traveled camino the next time, e.g. the Via de la Plata. On the VdlP there are much less places to eat and to stay for the night. So you will meet people a second and third time, which makes it much easier to start or restart communication. Buen Camino!
