Three rescues on the Route Napoleon yesterday
I once walked from SJPP on May 1st. The day before in St. Jean was sunny and very warm for late April with people sitting on patios in tee shirts. May 1 in SJPP in the early morning was overcast and chilly. After we passed Orisson it became bitter cold with overnight snow on the ground and...- grayland

I'm leaving tomorrow for the Sanabres!
Enjoy….😊 You guys will enjoy it. It looks like the Sanabrs has become a bit busier each year…but still quiet time available. ourense It does get very crowded from Ourense (100 km point). We have experience overfull albergue there twice. The Tapa scene in Ourense is worth a tour of the...- grayland

Scam - again..
Frankly....I am just avoiding using Booking at this point. I am certain that Booking itself is not the doer (bad guy)..but the bad guys are using something within the Booking data or system to obtain information to use for phishing. I just will refrain until this goes away.- grayland

Scam - again..
Both of these threads involve Booking. If I understand right they (scammers) have knowledge of a booking that has been made. The information of the reservation indicates that the scam is getting info from Booking data base or insiders at some level at Booking. Has anyone who has received a...- grayland

Respectful donativo amounts in 2024
I disagree.... with the above and many other things posted in this thread. You are, of course, free to offer your personal opinion. However, you appear to have allocated fact to the change of "prevalent attitude" based on something you were told in hospitalero training. I recall being told...- grayland

Respectful donativo amounts in 2024
This post (along with the many others by you) make it very obvious that you are very able to pay whatever amount and stay where ever it pleases you. I am very confused why you would be staying in a donativo in any event unless it is the only available bed within reasonable walking distance. You...- grayland

Camino Wildlife (excluding escaped circus animals)
Full grown Moose, both bull and cows, were common in neighborhoods when I lived in Eagle River, Alaska about 20 years ago. Huge animals with no fear of humans. The rack on the Bulls were amazing. There were both black bears and grizzlies often seen in my neighhood and area....but I did not...- grayland

Camino Wildlife (excluding escaped circus animals)
I have seen a number of deer but no other animals in Spain. Also the rare snake, thousands of lizards, slugs, storks, birds. Really surprised at how few encounters I have had walking in Spain, Portugal, France or Italy. In Arizona (where I live) it is very common to see Road Runners...- grayland

Who has been on the Camino for more than 12 months? How was it?
Many (most) of us here would not be able to be there for more than 90 days in a 180 day period. Then again....which camino are you referring to? There are many routes in Spain and France (and other European countries) that link and end up in Santiago. Plus...the long route from Canterbury to...- grayland

Carry your backpack please.
Perhaps after you have actually experienced a camino you may understand where @good_old_shoes was coming from. Buen Camino..(BTW....I am 85 years old. Many here are in their 80's and still walk and carry their packs if physically able)- grayland

Carry your backpack please.
No problem at all...for those who see the camino as a simple "nice easy walk". That is a very noticable change in attitude and perception that has crept in over the past years with the popularity of the camino. Others see the Camino as both a challenge on many levels and not a simple walk and...- grayland
