    What is the one Albergue that you would say not to miss

    Burgo Ranero - avoid La Laguna

    Arrived in Burgo Ranero today and had the most horrible experience in Albergue la Laguna. He said he hadn't received my booking, was rude and shouting, and I had to find somewhere else. I have met people today who have had a similar experience. Apparently the restaurant across from the...

    LIVE from the Camino Almost no private rooms available around San Juan, Ages and Atapuerca

    Just realise you are in Legroña. You are probably doing it a bit differently from me. Although I'm using a mix of albergue and hotel

    I'm also in Belorado but will be staying in an albergue in Agès tomorrow. Accommodation is very limited. Hotel in San Juan was completo. Are you only staying in hotels?

    That silly 10% rule

    Yes, I am wearing one pair and carrying one pair. Same with shoes. Don't think I could manage with less than that. Hopefully it's okay.

    That silly 10% rule

    Thanks for the ideas. I have arrived in France and have decided to go with what I have for now. Fingers crossed.

    Sleeping bag - yes or no?

    Sleeping bag - yes or no?

    That silly 10% rule

    That silly 10% rule

    I haven't seen sunscreen stick anywhere. Where did get get it? I am bringing Lush soap/shampoo/conditioner in one bar. Also a cut off my bar of simple soap for clothes. Tiny toothpaste tube and can pick some up as I need. I think most of us will often pass by shops and so need to think of it...
