    Where do ( did ) you walk ( locally ) in 2022?

    I walked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back the next day with my daughter this past weekend, as per our tradition when each child turns 8. She did amazing and went roller skating in the neighborhood after while I took a long bath for my sore bones. I did tell myself multiple times...

    I’ll start in March from Porto as well, a week after you. My first camino was also the Frances in 2019. Buen camino!

    Post-Camino Travel: A Mistake or a Blessing?

    I think you can make it work for you if you want to. :) I spent five weeks walking and then a week in London. I was also warned about the shock and it’s true. If forgotton how to small talk! But the bonus was I was glowing with happiness, had legs that could walk miles around the city and...

    March on the Camino

    I walked from SJPP starting March 1 of 2019, and the weather was perfect! Sunny days every day until a bit of rain the last two coming into Santiago. You never know. :) There wasn't much choice of Albergues. You will hear of what is open and make it there. Buen camino!

    For those who have traveled in the winter months from Pamplona to SJPP

    Hello, I am so curious (after hours of forum reading) for some advice of those who have traveled in the winter from Pamplona to SJPP. When you arrive in Pamplona via train, and hope to travel to SJPP, is it common to see other pilgrims attempting the same route? Or should I expect to pay for...

    Your Opinion on Winter Travel from BCN to SJPP

    Hello All, I have had a question in mind for months but have been hesitant to post as I know it may have already been addressed. Please believe me, I have been learning so much from these forum posts and have read much already about winter on the camino Frances. Please forgive me if this is...

    Please tell me about your early march Camino Frances

    Friends, Have any of you traveled in the winter months from Barcelona to SJPP? I am hoping to arrive in one day from Barcelona and I know its impossible to count on buses that stop for the season. If you have experience, would you recommend the early train from BCN to Pamplona then taxi, the...

    Please tell me about your early march Camino Frances

    another question if anyone is still around: I've read the threads of how to get from Barcelona to SJPP and I speak Spanish so I'm comfortable asking for help on the way. Just wondering, anyone have more trouble in February or March? Am I right to assume if I start early I can get there in one...

    Please tell me about your early march Camino Frances

    Thank you! i just booked my flight to Barcelona! And what a relief to have personal answers. You would recommend one should pack a real sleeping bag, not just liner in March?

    A few more questions as they come to me: Did walking in March take you a bit longer than summer? Are poles a necessity through the mud?

    This is wonderful. Thank you so much! I tried to book my ticket but British Airways is having difficulties, I haven't given up! I'd love to hear more if anyone else finds their way to this thread. THANK YOU!

    Please tell me about your early march Camino Frances

    Hello! I've dreamt of walking the camino since meeting boy in my early twenties (now my husband) who had just done it and felt so passionate about it. We have three kids now and I'd assumed I'd have to wait to hike till they were older or even when my husband and I are retired! But! My...
