    Is the Camino too crowded now?

    Reading comments. I agree. My second time on the Frances in April this year and compared to 2019 was far busier. IMO, and yes to all who read this, I can have an opinion, I felt it had become a sporting event for some and something to cross of the bucket list. The bed race was very real...

    Best Ultra Lightweight Sleeping Bags for the Pilgrimage in March-April

    This is just what I did and it worked. I have a down 3/4 length over jacket for cold mornings. Weighs like a feather. Second use for it - put a leg into each arm for sleeping and it covers most of lower body as a blanket. Top half of body fully dressed. I didn't carry a sleeping bag of any...

    Managing Knee Pain: What Has Worked for You?

    I wish you well with your ongoing treatment of your knees. Not related directly to you or knees and without giving the full story. After 2 hip replacements in 2021 my orthopedic surgeon told me to do lots of 'self medication'. With his sense of humour he was telling me to lose weight. I didn't...

    Tips for Tackling O Cebreiro Hill During Your Camino Walk

    I couldn't agree more. I followed advice not to do big climbs when you are tired and already done a good days walking. It makes sense. Doesn't take away the challenge of the walk up to O Cebreiro but it wasn't too bad.

    Orisson

    Made request 3 days ago on the Orisson site and havn't heard yet. Believe it can take 2 - 3 weeks reading on past posts. Good luck.

    Revised title: Didn't know about other ways to reserve beds, and found no rooms on booking.com

    Re Orisson, Bookings opened mid December 2022. I reserved only yesterday and waiting confirmation. It takes a little while apparently for confirmation. So am keeping fingers crossed that I get a bed for my mid April start. Booked Roncessvalles and paid, no problem. I'm winging it from...

    Pamplona to SJPP April 15, 2023

    Thank you. Yes I think I will stick to the bus. If I end up having to pay full taxi fare then so be it. Better than waiting around for people to show up then you never see.

    Accommodations close to Santiago train station

    The station is a 10 min or less stroll up to the old city part. I was solo when I left and walked down to the station in the almost dark. Plenty of people about. Up to you whether you take taxi but understandable.

    Pamplona to SJPP April 15, 2023

    Yes thank you, I did give it more thought after I posted my message. I am staying the night in Pamplona so there would be the issue of where to meet if ride sharing and whether they would show up. Then if there was no show I might miss the only bus for the day. Logic kicked in a bit late but...
