      Jarrad reacted to Tincatinker's post in the thread Taxi? Can they find us in the middle of nowhere? with Haha Haha.
      In my experience if you have cash a taxi driver can find you anywhere. That said local bars are the best resource for taxis, possibly a bed that isn’t on Berking.con and even a drink while you’re waiting for the taxi

      As a single Senior, just me now, not for everyone, but a Pilgrim never had the opportunity to book ahead. This is a new phenomenon. But, taking the day ahead as it goes, at least provides adventure as well as possibly tasking us to our limits, in...

      Don't be between SJPP and Pamplona during the week before and after the 1st of May. Booking.com availability is an indicator of how busy a town or region is but when Booking.com does not have available and bookable beds this does not mean that...

      A few weeks ago, contrary to my first idea, I decided to book ahead to Pamplona. I think, It's a bit of a shame, but at the same time it makes the start of the pilgrimage less stressful for me.I can tackle the first stages at my own pace and...

      One of my favourite stays, a very basic uninspiring building, right next to a church and run by nuns of the order of Malta. Ideally situated to hit Alto del Perdon at sunrise which is just beautiful. A good choice if the beautiful madness of...

      It is very common to get nervous just before starting your Camino. This isn't necessarily a good reason to change your plans at the last moment. At this time of year, every year, the forum and other Camino web sites get lots of panicked posts...

      I am also a solo walking female and don't book if I can avoid it. If you prefer not to make reservations, you could try to walk off-stage until Pamplona, which usually makes it easier to find a bed. Most pilgrims will walk St Jean - (Orisson /...

      Larrasoaña has two albergues - the municipal with 10 beds, and the private Albergue San Nicolás with 40 beds. There are also two pensiones with 4 rooms each. I've stayed at Albergue San Nicolás twice - it's very nice, and they offer a communal...

      Jarrad reacted to Antonius Vaessen's post in the thread App or Book? with Like Like.
      In general I prefer paper books above digital media. On camino though i prefer apps and websites not only because of the weight but also because books can get outdated. This certainly is the case regarding accomodations, changing in routes...

      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...
