    LIVE from the Camino Santander to Santiago (July/August 2020)

    I'm following your posts! I plan on doing Salvador and then the Primitivo starting Oct 8. I would like to see if Albergue's are open along the Salvador. I may take a tent also, but October could get very cold. Buen Camino

    Le Puy in March

    I'm starting Le Puy on March 28. I've emailed several places that don't normally open till April 1 or later and they stated they would let me stay if I gave them adequate notice. Really looking forward to this Camino.

    April/May

    O I will most likely be staying at the Municipal. On Gronze it shows mostly good reviews with 50 beds and 6 euros. Hope to see you.

    Paper Maps

    They hand out 1 page maps with altitude, all towns on the camino, and distance between towns at the Pilgrim office. They also hand out a list of Albergues.

    How big is your pack?

    Dave, I noticed you don't use a pancho. Do you have any problems with your stuff getting wet? I'm considering putting items in plastic baggies to be sure this doesn't happen, so I can eliminate my 13 ounce pancho. I've heard your shoulder straps can wick the moisture to you interior items...

    April/May

    Bill, Curious on when you will be starting Primitivo and where? I will hopefully be starting in Oviedo on April 27 or 28th at the latest. I'm traveling alone due to some extenuating circumstances, so was wondering which others would be walking. Scott

    How big is your pack?

    I feel so unworthy after reading this. I have a deuter 42 l(3lb 13 ounces) that is built like a tank, but have a Osprey levity 45 l (1lb 14 ounces) still in the box. I'm trying to decide which one to use for my start date 3 weeks from today. I did a test pack today and had 13 lbs with 3...

    April start

    Bill, I'm starting the Primitivo on approx. April 27 and will be bringing a long pancho, rain jacket, and lightweight synthetic down. I'm still trying to decide on lightweight sleeping bag or silk/cotton liner only. I sleep hot also, and guess I could always sleep in clothes if I'm too cold...

    Booking Albergues Semana Santa

    Leon Albergues are extremely busy. I stayed at Santo Tomas de Canterbury last year and was very happy. It is 2.6km from Leon's main center, but buses are 1 euro. The towns after Leon tend to be busier as well, so you may not get your first choice, but there is always something available. I...

    Outerwear

    I'm starting on April 7 and will be taking a lightweight gore tex rain jacket, pancho (purchased in St jean last year), and a extremely lightweight synthetic down jacket. Based on my experiences from last year, you can use all 3...lots of rain and temps as low as 36 degrees. My pancho extends...
