    Is it OK to write emails in English when booking accommodation?

    Hello from wee Ireland. In my experience the best method of booking ahead is WhatsApp with the numbers on the wisepilgrim app. I send my message in both Google translated Spanish and English and it has proven very effective. Thats it!!

    What is your favorite (affordable) restaurant on the Camino Frances?

    Ah you just can’t beat Casa Susi in Trabadelo. The best by a country mile!!! Incredible hosts; low numbers and absolutely superb food. You will not find better!! In my not so humble opinion!!! Liam

    Listening to music while on the camino

    Having spent 10 weeks on Camino Frances over since 2017 I'd say I have used earphones for no more than a couple of hours and that was when I was on my own and just tired and need a distraction. I don't like earphones on the Camino. I want to hear all there is to hear from the cuckoo to the lark...

    Albergues - Need to book in September 2024?

    If ever doing Camino Francés again I would walk from SJPDP on Day 1 to overnight in Orisson for two reasons; it shortens that long long climb and gives one great chance to meet people at the communal meal. And away you go then.

    Hi. Did I see a poster somewhere on C Frances this year of bridges on the Camino? I am sure I did; it looked super. Maybe it can be located online. Liam

    Asking for Encouragement to Continue the Camino

    Oh stopping now will not help. You are so close and walking the last week or more will give you great assurance in being able to do it. Yes you can. And you will. I gave up in Burgos in 2021 (too near Covid days) and I came home in a bad mood. Giving up is a horrible experience unless of course...

    Advice on "parts to miss" so I can Experience Arrival into Santiago

    Hi and delighted to hear you are ready to start. You have received tons of wise suggestions; not sure if I can add anything. If you only have 24 days and assume going at the Brierley pace of 33 days then you need to 'skip' 9 stages!! My suggestion would be to 'skip' those in one block early on...

    I finished my Camino Frances in July

    Oh no one knows how many days or years are left!! Why put off for 8 years something as magical as the Camino. If it calls, then just go!!!

    Finding my way along the route

    Oh if booking ahead it’s really simple if you use the Wise Pilgrim app. Phone numbers are there and use WhatsApp. I found it easy and responsive.

    Finding my way along the route

    Suggestion. Consider staying at Orisson on first night out of St Jean. It will require booking. The double benefits are it will shorten that brutal walk over the mountain and you get to meet lovely people who will be setting out with you in the morning. Just my tuppence worth!! You’ll love it!!

    Pre Camino Frances nerves

    Book the first three or four nights. Then you will be in the flow and let the Camino take you!! And you’ll fall in love with it. If you want to!!! I’m sure you’ll have a truly amazing time whatever amazing means for you. Love and Buen Camino

    Memorable Meals

    The best meal was in Casa Susi in Trabadelo. Am planning the Leon to SdeC section in June this year and stopping in Casa Susi is a must!! Liam
