Hi folks,
I have written a Spanish phrasebook and would like to offer it to you for free.

The walk from St Jean to Roncesvalles is very impressive, I agree, and if you have the time which I think you do I would recommend it.
I am around the same age as you and completed the Camino from St Jean - Santiago in just over 4 weeks this was with a day in Burgos and a few short days walking...
Hi there,
Have you tried Tiso? http://bit.ly/aaHXiI
Usually hold a good stock.
I have been wearing Salomon shoes on the Camino for the last 7 years and never had a problem with them. Highly recommend them.
Buen Camino!!
Hi folks, just back from Spain. Had a great time on the Via de la Plata. Weather was ideal and the scenery was beautiful.

Hi Lana,
I've walked the Camino in September and found that a light fleece was enough to keep warm. Although it can get a bit chilly, and sometimes wet, in the morning in Galicia so a light water proof would be advisable, as well as a water proof rucksack cover.
I hope you enjoy your walk...
Hi folks,
I've walked the route many times and never had any problems the first few years. I didn't know any Spanish or French then but have picked up a little since.
As has been said already, the people will go to great lengths to help you out so never worry.
There's a great little free...
Hi Folks,
I hope you are all well.
I would like to take the opportunity to tell you all about my good friend's, Joseph Cullinane's, new book 'The Cuckoo & The Pilgrim'.
His book is a record of a walk along the Camino De Santiago in France and Spain and it could be used as a rough guide by...
Or why not wear a t shirt and shorts, depending on the time of year of course, and if it gets too cold, put on a light fleece?
If you brought everything you 'needed' in your rucksack you wouldn't get too far.
Probably has it's uses elsewhere though.
Hi Rúna,
Don't worry, will meet lots of like minded people along the way.
The Albergue in Roncevalles, your first stop on the Spanish side of the Pyrenees, sleeps over 150 people so you should have no trouble meeting a few people there.
Have fun :)
I've walked the Camino Francés and the Camino Portugues in May and had a great time. The weather is perfect for walking and the country side is beautiful as are the sunrises and sunsets.
Although it does rain a bit once you reach Galicia, just like home (Ireland) in many ways, lots of the green...
