    Luggage storage in Santiago

    I’ll be walking Camino Ingles in May with a group. It will be prebooked, with luggage transfer, so I’m taking a small carry on in addition to my backpack. Then I want to walk to Muxia, just with my backpack. Where can I store my carry-on in Santiago for about a week? Thanks for advice.

    2021 Holy Year

    Gene, thanks for posting the data. I’ve been planning my second Camino since 2018, but my job kept forcing me to postpone... The only time I can go is spring or summer 2021. That’s why I’ve been tracking all posts about the holy year. I figured switching to Invierno in Ponferrada will help with...

    Dilemma: Second Camino

    I wish I had that option. For me it is Spring 2021 or not at all. I am a bit concerned about excessive crowds, so I’ll go as early as I can, startin around March 10, and I will switch to Invierno in Ponferrada, to avoid the Sarria crowds. We’ll see how that works.

    Advice for March/April Camino

    After completing my first Camino (Frances) in July/August 2016 I’m planning to do it again in March/April 2019. If you have done it in early spring, please share with me your experiences. What should I expect? Weather? Availability of albergues? # pilgrims? Equipment advice? Anything else that...

    This thing about equipment for the Camino .....

    I understand that you are trying to paint this sentimental picture of the Camino and of long distance treks in general but this may in some ways hurt inexperienced walkers. I may be a newcomer to the Camino, having walked the Frances only once, but I have a lot of experience hiking, backpacking...

    Backpacks as carry-on

    I had my Stratos 36 as carry-on on multiple flights, many US -> Europe, including to Paris for the Camino. Different airlines. Never had any issues with its size.

    From USA

    This past summer (July/Aug) I flew to Paris CDG. There is a train station at CDG that has trains to Bordeaux. Then changed trains to Bayonne and finally to St. Jean. You can book online on sncf.com. It took the entire day but I like train travel. Coming back, I booked a flight from SdC to Madrid...

    First Camino in July/August

    this is going to be my first Camino (Frances). I originally planned it for May/June 2016 but couldn't make it work because of my job schedule. Now the only possible time is July/first half of August. However, I am concerned about a couple of things. 1. No 1 concern is the crowd. How busy is it...
