    Injured. Requesting suggestions for a plan B

    Unfortunately, I am still in Laredo, my ankle is still injured, and I am going home early. But the time I spent on the Norte, from Irún to Zamudio, was fantastic, and I will be back. Buen Camino a todos peregrinos!

    Injured. Requesting suggestions for a plan B

    Thank you all for the great suggestions! Plan B is taking the bus to Laredo tomorrow, resting my ankles by walking without pack on level-ish ground, and then, hopefully, continuing.

    Injured. Requesting suggestions for a plan B

    Hola! I am currently on the Norte route, very close to Bilbao. It has been wonderful and beautiful, but I overdid it, and my ankles are very sore. In retrospect, I should have taped my ankles earlier and/or sent my pack ahead each day. It also took me two long days of walking to get to a place...

    Hola. asking for advice for first night in Irun

    I booked my first night so I can have privacy to sleep well after a long trip getting here!

    Hola. asking for advice for first night in Irun

    I walked it today and found that by crossing over just after leaving the airport, I was on a shoulder with a barrier. It felt good to walk in the fresh air after so many hours on planes and in airports!

    5 “Unproven” Facts About Norte

    Thanks for the observations! I just arrived in Irun about an hour ago and I'll start walking Thursday. Good to know what to expect! :) Buen Camino!

    Hola. asking for advice for first night in Irun

    I'm landing in the Dan Sebastian airport. It looks like the walk to Irún is along a fairly major road. Is there a sidewalk? Thanks!

    Pasajes San Juan accommodation

    Is this based on current conditions, or just a general approach to take? I know how to get an early start, but I'm wondering if this is currently necessary for that particular albergue. Thanks!

    Pasajes San Juan accommodation

    I'm about to start next week, and hope to stay there. I'd also be interested in knowing what time it fills up. (Yes, I know it opens at 16:00, but on my previous Caminos, at other albergues but on multiple occasions, there was already such a long line waiting when an albergue opened that people...

    Hi Mary Louise, yes! It's excellent. https://www.oaxacainternational.com/en/

    Oaxaca

    I'm in Oaxaca, Mexico, studying Spanish until at least mid-February, 2018. Are there any pilgrims or hope-to-be pilgrims who would like to get together and talk about the Camino? (I can't find an existing thread or forum that covers this, so please forgive me if this is posted in the wrong place.)

    Sept.-Oct. 2017 pilgrims: check in!

    I'll be starting on Tuesday, September 5, from either Pamplona or Roncesvalles, depending on the timing of the bus connection from P to R. Seattle, WA, USA. This is my second Camino.

    walking last week of august 2017

    Thanks! I should be fine. I started the CF in late August (2015) and hit some hot days, and I recently camped and hiked in Death Valley. I'm not a mad dog or Englishman, so I stay out of the midday sun, hydrate, and pay attention to salt intake, and I am not too proud to take a day off or even...

    walking last week of august 2017

    I'm planning to start in Seville shortly after that, in early September. I did the CF in the fall of 2015, and I like the idea of fewer folks and different challenges. Anybody else going at about that time?

    Hospitaleros with unprofessional attitudes.

    Wow, I'm sorry you took offence. It was not meant the way you seem to have taken it, or maybe you're just having a bad day. I'm glad you try to greet the public with a smile, but I still stand by my statement that a smile can be emotionally expensive when it is demanded. That is very different...
