    Obtain the QR-CODE before you arrive in Santiago.

    I think you can register your info ahead of time which will associate you with a unique code. Then you can use the code *upon arrival* to put your spot in the queue per say, which generates another QR code which will take you to the real time info of the queue and where you might fall on that...

    LIVE from the Camino My first Camino

    Your assessment of the final walk into Santiago was similar to mine. Had the feel of approach into Leon and (maybe Burgos but didn't go by the road). Arrows disappearing (had to look down for shells on pavement) as well as just being part of the masses (meh another pilgrim coming through). It's...

    I made it!!

    So are those Chacos you're wearing at the end, haha? Sounds like you foreshadowed this before you started. Glad those worked out.. As someone who is more familiar with Chacos more than Keene from awhile back, it just goes to show that one could use really anything on the Camino regardless of...

    I made it!!

    Well done, Pilgrim, and congratulations! Feel free to stop by the Pilgrim House if you want somewhere to collect your thoughts, relax, and/or talk with fellow pilgrims old and new. Enjoy Santiago and safe travels back.

    Stamps for final day?

    Congrats on completing your first Camino. So much to unpack, all the could haves, should haves, would haves, I'm sure. Most important thing is you made it and have memories to take along. Tomorrow will come soon enough so enjoy today as best as you can, Peregrino!

    American Airlines canceled my direct flight to Madrid / seeking guidance for getting to Oviedo as planned

    Good news. Things have a way of working themselves out somehow, which is no different in life and on the Camino. Go with your instinct if nothing else. Best wishes going forward. Feel free to DM me if you need to reach out directly.

    American Airlines canceled my direct flight to Madrid / seeking guidance for getting to Oviedo as planned

    What's your current itinerary now? Still staying with American? Or sounds like you may have ended that American option with the latest round of changes. Many have suggested other airlines. With the current situation of air travel, I would assume that any one of those flights may be subject to...

    American Airlines canceled my direct flight to Madrid / seeking guidance for getting to Oviedo as planned

    I wished you had mentioned this critical info at the start. When the airline cancels or reschedules your original itinerary, you have leverage and this is the ideal time to request an alternative flights that work for you, for free. You can even request a refund and cancel altogether. If I...

    Help with shoe sizing

    Man, I thought I was the most picky when it comes to shoes because it takes a while for me to decide (I spare others from shopping with me or even deciding). You definitely take the cake but I suspect that you know your body so well that you're looking for that ideal fit. My wish for you is...

    For introvert crowd-averse pilgrims

    Last winter on my first Camino I managed to relatively stay solitary until Los Arcos, then Najera, then Grañon. I heard about this camino family talk but I actually wanted to see how far I could go on my own. But a funny thing happened, I kept running into the same people. I softened my view...

    American Airlines canceled my direct flight to Madrid / seeking guidance for getting to Oviedo as planned

    I was going to suggest this as I have taken the same flight this past May. I think he's keeping his AA itinerary at this point.

    Advice: Restart Camino from SJPP or from where I left off 5 years ago?

    You and I almost stopped at the same place. I had 3 weeks to do it last winter and made it as far as Astorga. I knew I had to complete the rest at another time. I ended up finishing it this past May. Unlike you, it was not a forced stop. I actually planned to complete it in about the same...

    American Airlines canceled my direct flight to Madrid / seeking guidance for getting to Oviedo as planned

    You might want to read up on this article as it's very helpful to capture where we are and how to be minimize headaches: https://thepointsguy.com/news/tips-flight-attendant-summer-travel/ My first instinct was to agree with @JoanL to get there with as few stops as possible. I'd even say to...

    Help with shoe sizing

    Dude, my best advice I could give you is follow your gut and instinct. Clearly you're overthinking this and others' opinions are adding to your indecision. Don't let perfection be the enemy of the good. Many people here can attest that even the best laid out plan doesn't end up being ideal...

    LIVE from the Camino Return to the CF after 10 years

    Also recommending the Pilgrim House. Great friendly people and a nice oasis in a busy city. I enjoyed my times stopping there and they were all so helpful and welcoming when I was in the midst of processing it all in almost a month ago to the day. Congrats @12-22Pilgrim on your accomplishment...
