  Thanks! I’ve already made reservations from SJPDP through Zubiri. I chose to do an overnight stop at Orisson as I know that it is very steep. The next day on to Roncesvalles, which is longer but less than if I tried to reach it in one day from...

  Last September, when I walked from Conques to Pamplona, I noticed that there were two main demographics: young French people just out of college or between jobs, and retired people (60+). Many of the camino family I fell in with had walked...

  When I first walked the Camino Frances peak pilgrim season was July and August and the majority of pilgrims were in their 20's. Mainly students walking in vacation times. Now the peak periods for the Caminos have shifted along with the average...

  It's probably far too late to switch plans (even if you love my idea and want to), but... the French chemin paths I have walked are less crowded, much quieter (most of the time), in green and calm countryside routes, and the auberges I've stayed...

  Quick review of the Loop Quiet earplugs: I find them comfortable enough to wear during the day while working / walking around but not at night. I'm a side sleeper and it's uncomfortable having the stiff silicon earplugs press into your ear the...

  Thank you. I was going to get an Airalo eSim due to the reviews. I have also watched the YouTube videos for buying etc... I did not think about having to contact albergues/police (if needed). I've walked other Caminos where I just stop at an...

  I am assuming you are US-based? I got around this problem by getting a "Google Voice" number, which is only available to US residents. It's a virtual phone number that works on data but has an area code, etc. like any other number and you can get...
