Thanks for letting me know. I saw that there was more than one version of the app, for the Portuguese, for the french way - I thought there might be a version for the OP.
Yes, the Wise Pilgrim app provides wonderful information about the area where you are, the distance to the next stop - I had to pay for it, but seems totally worth it.
As a practicing Christian, I am not plaining on doing anything specifically Christain on the road. I understand that some points bare a special significance to other believers. If I might suggest, try to do what I do - talk to God while you walk and see waht happens. You might feel like an idiot...
UPDATE: I paid via PayPal and it was perfect. I used the same card I tried on the website, but via PayPal it went through smoothly and now I have a ticket to Pamplona and after that to St. Jean Pied de Port, when I will begin my adventure.
It seems good to book in advance, there is no way to be sure of a bed with the popularity of the Camino many Pilgrims are arriving everyday. Knowing you have a bed (if you're certain of your dates) would mean one less thing to worry about.
I have tried to purchase a ticket online for April 20 - is this necessary? Could I buy a ticket on the day?
The Alsa website hasn't been working for the passed week, I tried regularly.
Could I buy a ticket on the day? Will there definitely be space on the bus or is it better to buy ahead?
