    Current food/drink prices on the Camino Frances, and Trail Angels

    Where was the crepes lady? The crepes lady I met about 20km after o cebreiro invited my wife, 2 kids and I into her barn during a rain/hail storm and fed us crepes. She also let us hang out among her chickens while my wife was nursing… nothing like the crepes lady described here

    Alternative to Allianz travel insurance

    As a Canadian Resident I use CAA (national automobile club) who have been nothing but great and easy to work with, in the US that would be AAA. When I lived in Germany I always used the German equivalent ADAC and they provided some incredible service during a major emergency.

    Canoe Espalion to Estaing

    I much prefer higher water, it may look a little more intimidating, but there are fewer rocks exposed. It makes navigating a rapid easier most of the time, though some rivers you can walk in low water. Either way, rapids should generally have places you can portage around, especially when there...

    Canoe Espalion to Estaing

    I can’t speak about the river itself, but I do have some experience with canoe and kayak expeditions and used to be a certified white water rescue technician.

    Where to start with 33 days?

    Thanks, very reassuring! Having my children with me the first time around was amazing, we kept moving at the same pace as a couple in their 50s and another person in his 60s and that Camino family really added to the experience.

    Where to start with 33 days?

    Thanks for the response! I’m not too worried about fitness, injuries will have to be adapted to and could lead to having to skip sections no matter how long you plan, really. I just don’t like the idea of feeling rushed away from people I connect with and was wondering what others experiences...

    Where to start with 33 days?

    Hello, I’d like to gauge what peoples thoughts are on this. I have 33 days from start to the latest day I should arrive in Santiago. I have previously done the section from ponferrada to Santiago with kids and 0 time pressure. For this solo trip, I’m worried that I might not be able to nourish...
