    Skipping Pamplona?

    Thank you for this recommendation! I just booked this hotel for my first night in Spain! It looks like an ideal location. That next day I can see the city a bit and enjoy lunch before catching a bus to SJPDP- all an easy walk. It is a relief to know that after a long trip, I will have a...

    Trekking Poles Tips

    Traveling from the US, I am trying to avoid taking my current pair with me. I am planning on heading straight from the Madrid airport to the train station, so no time to explore Madrid and purchase a pair there (I will see the city on my return!). From my research it seems that I can purchase...

    Trekking Poles Tips

    I am also planning on purchasing a pair when I arrive. I am traveling by train to Pamplona before going on to SJPP. Would you recommend purchasing them in Pamplona or SJPP? I just want to find a good quality pair and I'm nervous about having limited selection (this is my first Camino).
