    Kindness of pilgrims

    I have just walked from Carrión to Cruz de Ferro, a fantastic walk. I’m writing to thank various pilgrims for their kindness when I had two separate bouts of back ailments. I should say that I don’t have a history of back trouble, and it may have been initiated by an ill fitting rucksack on...

    Alternative route out of León

    Thank you for your replies. I did the alternative route on Saturday and it was supremely well signposted all the way from the turning just past Virgen del Camino to Mazarife. I had the good fortune to walk with a French choir from Nancy near Metz. They did an impromptu performance in Virgen del...

    Alternative route out of León

    I am walking from León to Villar de Mazarife tomorrow using the route recommended by Headwater. Does anyone know whether this route is way marked?

    Do your own Camino

    Thanks. Inspirational story about your friend. As it happens I had a stroke at 56 (thankfully it had no lasting effects), and when it was diagnosed I had just booked to walk from Logrono to Carrion. I asked the consultant whether I could still do it, and he said yes, and he would encourage me to...

    Do your own Camino

I started with a great deal of apprehension, thinking it was the most adventurous thing I had ever done, and worried about safety, whether I was fit enough, whether I would encounter hostility. I...

    Weather next week... should I change my plans?

    I am starting from SJPP on Friday. A few days ago I asked for recommendations for weather sites and was advised to try this: http://www.viewweather.com/w1781825-weather-forecast-for-col_de_bentarte-spain_general_.html . It gives the weather for Col de Bentarte but you can substitute anywhere. It...

    Weather forecasts

    Any recommendations for good weather forecast websites for Spain? I am starting from St-Jean-Pied-de-Port next Friday (going as far as Logrono by the following Thursday). I tend to use Meteo France for French weather (showing risk of thunder for my first day), and on our recent family holiday...

    Spanish trains

    I am planning to walk from St Jean to Logrono in September. Getting there is not a problem as I am happy to do the journey by train over two days. I plan to fly back from Bilbao but there is only one suitable train from Logrono to Bilbao. It arrives three and a half hours before the flight, so...
