GGrousedoctor replied to the thread Accommodation worries — Camino Francés.Having walked the CF in early May, over 300 pilgrims left SJPP the day I did. Having a reservation through Pamplona gave me great peace of mind to be able to walk at my pace. Early arrivals had no problem getting a bed. I’m sure that got more...

Make a reservation in Roncevalles. After that, it's personal preference and tolerance for risk. You will not sleep out in the cold if you do not make reservations after Roncevalles. However, you may see your preferred albergue with a... -

GGrousedoctor replied to the thread How much cash to bring?.As the Ingles is a relatively short Camino of 5 days, I agree with others above that 1) your €200 should be enough, and 2) if you were to run short, you wouldn’t have to do more than one ATM withdrawal. Enjoy your Camino. It’s a wonderful route.

GI would just go to an ATM when you arrive. If you are just 1 person, 200 euros is probably fine. If you need more, there will be banks along the way or in Santiago.

GWe took our tandem over the Napoleon route in 2017, carrying it where necessary once we left the asphalt. You need a sturdy frame, chunky tyres and a willingness to give way to walkers and push/carry the bike over boulders and between rocks close...

GRiding the Camino in 2022 I got my self a bit worked up over this climb, so much so that for the first & only time ever I used the pack transport service to Roncesvalles. Suffice to relate that the ride up (road) was pretty easy but then I had to...
