    Hotel in Bilbao close to airport?

    If you decide to take the bus at 5:00, the entrance at that time is outside the main building ("night entrance"), at least that's how it was in 2022 http://apli.bizkaia.net/APPS/DANOK/TQ/DATOS_PARADAS/ITINERARIOS/A3247I.PDF I slept in Hotel Estadio, which is across the street from the main bus...

    The BEST Videos showing the Camino I've ever watched!

    Thanks Annie! When I get nostalgic and I don't have the chance to go on the Camino, I look for videos on YouTube that remind me of the path, villages, fields, vineyards, cities... But - as you wrote: the vast majority of videos are close-up faces that they take up the entire frame (if I'm lucky...

    What camera do you use?

    If you are interested in the data of a particular photo that you like - to the right of the photo is "Image metadata". Most photos have device information (phone or camera) and all other information -Apertures, Focal length, Exposure time, ISO, File size, Date taken

    Volotea, a low cost airline based in Spain

    I have been flying with Volotea for several years and everything has always been fine. When I plan a new trip, I always first check if Volotea has a connection.

    Confusion before Cercedilla

    I had exactly the same problem in May last year - a big bend (because I followed the arrows on the road), which in the end I thought was made only to pass the accommodation "Casona de Navalmedio " where the road turns sharply left from the asphalt to the dirt road and "back" towards Cercedilla...

    I have used onlypilgrims and have always been satisfied. Maybe the confirmation email ended up in the "spam" folder (this happened to me) Buen Camino

    Simancas or Valladolid

    Valladolid is a beautiful and pleasant city. However, it does not have the "pilgrimage" atmosphere that, for example, Burgos or Leon has (I have been to Valladolid before). Therefore, my choice was not to interrupt my well-being (for which I also walk the Camino and for which I chose CdM) of...

    GPS Tracks - A Guide for this Dummy Please

    If I'm not mistaken, you are planning the Via de la Plata. Each application has a GPS (KML, KMZ) track in addition to other very useful information. I used "Buen Camino", "Camino de Santiago" (Eroski Consumer), "Via de la Plata" from Peregrino Online (you can try the free version and then if you...

    Stop Half Way between Pamplona and Puente La Reina

    Zariquiegui - it is about halfway, probably a little less (11-12km), before Alto del Perdon. It has two lodgings - La Posada de Ardogi and Albergue San Andres. https://www.caminosleeps.com/zariquiegui.html

    Comment by 'm108' in media 'morning in Leon'

    Leon is truly something extraordinary to me. I have been several times, but always only for one night. This year, at the end of September, I was in Leon "touristically" for 4 days - in the apartment exactly in this place (left). It was great - plenty of time to wander and explore, and of course...

    Madrid, Segovia and León?

    Sierra de Guadarrama - It is among the three most beautiful days on my Caminos. Even so, if I hadn't booked a place to stay, I would have probably slept 3km before Segovia 😂 , under the railway overpass😱. Seriously (68 years old, overweight, 32km, ascent and descent and on your back everything...

    Madrid, Segovia and León?

    @futurefjp If you decide to do the Camino de Madrid, then I highly recommend a rest day in Segovia. Firstly, because you will probably be VERY tired from walking (32km and 600-700m difference in altitude if you go from Cercedilla) and secondly, because Segovia is really worth an extra day
