    Sadly.....an American pilgrim has died on the way to Roncesvalles.

    The best way to go - albeit too early. I wish I could go that way - doing the thing I really love.

    Flying to Spain for El Camino del Norte

    Yes, the airport of San Sebastian actually _is_ in Irun. You can start your camino from the airport exit.

    Connection Barcelona to San Sebastian

    ...and there are also flights to San Sebastian (the airport of which being actually in Hendaye, on the border, so you can start your walk from the airport door!). A couple of years ago at least Iberia (http://www.iberia.com) flew to SS. As a connecting flight from BCN the cost would be next to...

    Atheism on the Camino

    Really? I thought it was common practice.

    Atheism on the Camino

    Then, given my own experience, I don't quite get your point with "The main difference at the moment is the Compostela at the end." Care to elaborate?

    Atheism on the Camino

    Are you referring to the difference between "spiritual" and "religious"? I got a Compostela in 2005, stating "spiritual", not "religious" motives.

    Atheism on the Camino

    If my memory serves me correct, there's the choice of "spiritual reasons" (vs. "religious reasons") which is also "hassle-free". In my view, "spiritual" and "religious" are far apart.

    Packing Tip

    Haven't used it for washing clothes. However, in my case (a short hair, daily wash) the estimate of 60-80 washes sounds really low. I mean, after about 50 washes the bar still had about two thirds left.

    Packing Tip

    Re: shampoo bars I've been using Lush shampoo and conditioner (solid bars). Kewl products, strongly recommend. They also sell little tin boxes for the shampoo and conditioner bars. Found them really handy on my previous Camino.

    WLAN hotspots along the Camino Frances?

    I won't be using a "computer" or a datacard - I'll be using a mobile device. Security issues will not be a problem. Since my mobile is provided and bills paid by my employer, cost is not an issue as such. I'd have 3G, GPRS, EDGE and whatnots so I'd be able to use them if necessary but WLAN...
