    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD If flying to Madrid from another country, what are your current concerns about the Camino Frances in September?

    Everything is booked and ready to go. Will be at SJPDP on Sept. 22nd for two weeks to Burgos. I believe that situation in Spain is getting better, although things can change at any moment. Hopefully, things will be fine.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Do I need both Proof of Vaccination AND a Negative Test for bus from Pamplona to SJPP

    https://www.manulife.ca/personal/insurance/travel-insurance/travelling-canadians.html Only thing they don't cover is the quarantine-related interruption expenses if the travel is less than 31 days... God Bless!

    Getting ready

    Thank you. But not going all the way this time. Maybe another time.

    Getting ready

    Yes to Caceres. Rain in the forecast for three days Wednesday to Friday. Will be challenging as on previous caminos almost never dealt with rain.

    VdlP Oct/Nov

    Thank you for the information. So most of the albergues had blanket for cold nights? Usually taken only liners before on other caminos..

    VdlP Oct/Nov

    Thank you for letting me know. I am sure it will be very different from French and Portuguese, and even from primitivo. Do you think sleeping bag is necessary? Buen camino

    Travel from Canada

    I have flowin Air Transat to Paris few years ago, then took the train from Gare Montparnasse to Lourdes before going to St. Jean. It is easy to get to the train station in the city as there is a bus at the airport that takes you to the station. I haven't done it, but there are SNCF trains at...

    Eucharistic adoration along Camino Frances

    There is Eucharistic Adoration at the church convento de Santa Clara in Carrion de los Condes. It seemed to me that it is perpetual, but could be wrong, but it was there both times that I have been there. It was one of the largest monstrance that I have ever seen.

    Organising a group Camino

    Thank you. I really don't know what to expect myself from this camino as I have never taken such a large number on any pilgrimage. Could be lots of fun and rewarding, but could be a nightmare too. But one thing for sure is that there are lots of people who wish to go on camino but don't have...

    Organising a group Camino

    Thank you for letting me know about your opinion on a group walking the camino. Certainly we won't be doing anything that you described as reserving beds such way or any other public resting places. I have walked by myself and another time with few friends and no matter who we encounter, I...

    Organising a group Camino

    And what is the group behaviour that you are concerned about? Personally, I have never encountered groups in albergue on previous two caminos, only on the road, so I don't know what that would be. Maybe I can talk to the group so that won't offend anyone.

    Organising a group Camino

    Well, I am going with a group of 13 people from my parish on Portuguese way from Porto in May. I have booked most of the accommodation already through booking.com or by contacting albergues. I am hoping my group, which has a wide range of ages, won't be too much of bother for other pilgrims...
