    Finding the statues that mark the “half way” point near Sahagun

    Oh yes it is marked as "centro del camino" here: https://en.mapy.cz/turisticka?source=osm&id=110525491&ds=2&x=-5.0343434&y=42.3693048&z=18 Several centros ? This Camino is really magical !

    Did it make a difference

    Yes it has changed my life, thanks to the other pilgrims I meet. And every time I walk on the Camino, somebody brings to me something else.

    Avoiding the Crowd on the last 5 stages. Where to stay

    I do not know if it is possible to avoid the crowd on the last 100 km of Camino Frances, but I have a little advice: - don't worry: you will find accomodations (more pilgrims mean more accommodations) - think about the target: the others should not be a problem, because, you succeed in reaching...

    Finishing my Camino and feeling incomplete.

    This picture is a detail of the south entrance of Santiago cathedral. Look at the Omega and the Alpha: they are in reverse order (omega first): that means that Santiago is not the end, but a new start in your life...

    Finishing my Camino and feeling incomplete.

    What you are feeling is well-known. It is named "Camino Blues". While walking on the Camino, our life is changing dramatically. We talk to people we would never had talked otherwise, and our needs become very simple: where to sleep ? what to eat ? where is the Camino ? Returning back to real...

    Have Pilgrim's Passport, but do I need to register at a local pilgrim's office before I can stay in municipal albergues?

    Don't worry: stricto sensu, Camino Francés begins from Puente La Reina. Therefore, starting in Pamplona is a good idea.

    Rip off Restaurant

    I thought display of prices were mandatory everywhere in European Union. You should write to Mrs Von der Leyen: "Dear Ursula, I am sad to tell you the following..."

    How to get QR Code onto Wikiloc App

    I do not understand what you intend to do ? If you want maps of routes in an app, you can use mapy.cz, selecting "outdoor" map: all the caminos are shown.

    Variante Montejurra

    There are a bit more woods on this variant. At Luquin you will find nice bar.

    Walking with headphones?

    Because Camino is a pilgrimage, all the ways converge toward Santiago : you should expect to meet other people. When I want to be alone, I walk in the Gobi desert.

    Walking with headphones?

    Walking with headphones mean for me that you cannot be free from them, and that you do not want to talk with others: why walking the Camino ?

    Ideas on ways to extend the Coastal Camino portuguese

    I have walked from Santiago to Muxia, then Fisterra. It does make sens to walk in that direction, toward the ocean: - after that there is no more way: you have reached the end of the land. - if you are found of shrines, Virgen de la Barca en Muxia is a conveninent target.

    Bar Etiquette

    Generally you order at the bar. You can then either drink standing there, or bring back the drink on a table.

    Solo trip in 2 weeks?!

    My 2 cents: 1. Do not be afraid. Avoid blister with double socks and/or anti-chafing cream. Camino will provide. 2. León to Santiago is very nice (Astorga, Ponferrada, Melide...). I do not know the Portuguese yet but I am sure it is nice too. However, for a first time, Francés should be more...
