    A quick thank you to Correos.

    Ditto. Pulled muscle so used Correos PAQ Mochila last 13 days. Perfect. Bag always at next Albergue by 3 pm, except 4 pm on a Sunday at Indian Way. Very pleased.

    Is it possible rooms are sold out for 2024!?

    Another good tip from this Forum, on Wise Pilgrim app there’s a link in Albergue listing to call via What’s App. I’m on Francis route now and found this feature very useful to message or call ahead for a bed request.

    Unsettling Experience with Strangers at Hostel

    Hi Mainely Stina: Stay safe. The Guardia have been pretty present as I walked from Astorga today. Consider downloading their app. Good advice in this thread to buddy up, or check ins with Camino friends as you walk solo. I’m in wave so other pilgrims frequently in sight or filling cafes in...

    Alabama Pilgrims

    We walked into Leon with Greg of Alabama on Wednesday. We gave him our contact, but I don’t have his. If he posts us when he reaches Santiago, I’ll ask Greg if I can forward his contact information to you. Buen Camino

    Can I mix it up, walk-bike, the Frances?

    Lots of ‘fun’ being buzzed by ebikes on walk to Hontanas today, my they are fast. 95% courteous of walkers, 5% frightening swerving between groups of pilgrims. Please use your horn.

    It will be warm. Stay safe pilgrims!

    Relief next Saturday on the Francis, 78 F, Pamploma. The kind Guardia were greeting pilgrims between Zubiri and next town today, handing out cards to call if need assistance. I had downloaded the app per the forum. A kind sister gave me a lift at second Fuentes at noon to the donativo. We...

    Is it wise to book one-way flight, London to southern France, and book return when ready?

    I like the idea of ferry back to England. Which port is convenient by bus from Santiago?
