    Comment by 'mickiet2002' in media 'Private Albergue Jakue in Puente La Reina'

    I stayed here during my pilgrimage. You come out of the woods tired, and hoping for a bed, and there is Jakue. It is like stumbling into this wonderful garden. I chose to sleep in the room with about 30 beds. I think it was one of my most memorable nights on the Camino! I loved it!

    Is carrying your own backpack a thing of the past?

    Typically the service is available where you check in at the hostel. The Hostelero should know. I carried my pack, it weighed 30lbs, everyone called me 15 kilo and wanted to empty out my pack for me. It was super heavy. I stumbled one day where the path was gravel. The path under the gravel...

    Need help, I just lost my only child 3 months ago and feel called to the El Camino

    I lost my Mike as well. He was my husband. We had watched the movie "The Way" a few weeks before he was diagnosed with cancer. We joked with our neighbors that we would all walk the Camino together and push their baby in the baby carriage. Mike was gone in a year. When I made the decision to...

    Anyone doing the Camino in April 2016

    Hi Brian & Deb - This morning I purchased train tickets from Bilbao to SJDP for $88. I am planning on walking out on the morning of Saturday the 16th, so I should be a day or so ahead of you. Hopefully we will see each other along the way. I am pretty jazzed up about it! Buen Camino!

    Starting my walk april 2016

    Billy B - I have not yet made my camino - yet I have been to Santiago before. It is the most amazing place. I wanted to live there. Perhaps having your son spend a few days there with you would be amazing! Michele

    Silly me, wanting to fall in love on the Camino

    Texas Guy, I keep reading this and coming back to it to read it again and again. I keep wanting to send you a quick note to say thank you - for both of your posts - yet anything I think to write seems trite. But all I can come back to is - thank you. I am touched beyond words. Michele

    Annie - are you flying in and out of Madrid? Or do you return from another city? Also what airline did you get your ticket from? That is a great price. Michele

    Silly me, wanting to fall in love on the Camino

    Texas guy - I truly like your sentiment. I am planning on my first camino in May 2016. I think I will wake up every day from now until then - thinking listen to the wind and the rain. My decision to make the camino came after the loss of my husband. I know I have been looking for him since I...
