    Le puy or Vezelay

    I did The Podiensis this May. Yes I booked a couple of nights ahead because it was very busy with the French Bank Holidays. You can look for accomadation on Gronze.com and it gives you all the upto date prices. I loved this part of the Camino but be prepared to use translate if you don't speak...

    Accommodation on Le Puy route (September/October)

    We did this in May and struggled with some accomadation. With this in mind I booked the gites 2 nights ahead via email or phone call.

    What to do with three weeks after Santiago?

    Cycling The Francigena

    Has anyone cycled from Canterbury to Bridisi? Myself and my partner are going to do it in late August, and as much research I've done, it would be nice to hear from someone who has done it. I'd like to know things like.. .. is accomadation easy to come by? How are the rd's? How hard is it? How...

    Poncho or raincoat that doesn't cover rucksack

    After doing a few caminos and encountering many rain storms, I've decided the poncho works best. I got one with sleeves and goes over the sack from decathlon. My bag is also waterproof but it's nice to have a dry outside bag when you enter your accommodation. Also it is easier to put on and off...

    You can use Google translate, and then you can send an email once translated. Hope this helps.

    Zabaldika

    I wanted to share my little story of Sister Mariasun. In 2015 I walked the Francis and visited the albergue in Zabaldika. We all sat around on cushions discussing our reasons for walking our Camino. When it came to my turn I said I wasn't doing it for religious reasons but spiritual. I said I...

    Where to get bike box in Santiago

    We arrived in Bilbao after cycling through France. We just went into a bike shop and they were more than happy to just give us 2 boxes. Good luck

    Camino Irritants

    I agree and that's why I choose to use quiet Camino's. Earplugs block the beautiful sound of the birds, wind, chimes and insects.

    Proof of income, accommodation and return travel.

    I did the Norte in May and had other trips to Spain this year and I haven't been asked. I just thought they might be tightening the rules now. If this rule has been about done time then I'm not worried. Thank you everyone for further info.

    Proof of income, accommodation and return travel.

    I have heard for the second time this week, one coming from Simon Calder. Is it true that we are having to prove where you are staying, how much you have in the bank and proof of return travel home. If it is true, how do you get round this on a Camino when we don't have accommodation set up...
