    New ALSA website

    @ThisIsSpain : Thanks for the insight. That is why we post such questions on forums rather than make assumptions :-) Good info that you need to carry photo ID at all times in Spain. I hope the website is secure and safe from hacking.

    New ALSA website

    Is it necessary to provide your Passport for booking travel in Europe? I found the ALSA website requiring my passport number and I'm not so sure I want to give it. Do they require it if you call ALSA?

    Worried about walking alone

    @niefia zupancic : I hope you are able to easily find people to walk with in all areas. I'm going to walk the exact same route, so really anxious. Would be great if you could post pictures. In every picture I see it is always a lonely route and barely a soul around...

    Worried about walking alone

    Thank you @falcon269 for that sensible piece of advice. Here is my question, since this is crucial to my strategy. How well connected are the towns on the Camino Frances if I wanted to ride out one of my days? I'm sensibly chicken and if I don't find someone to walk with I won't think twice...

    Trying to put my mind at rest about safety

    Thank you for saying that...that is exactly what I wanted to hear. I want to be right in between that people train!! Not exactly what you might expect from someone who wants to walk 100km in the countryside...but I want to feel comfortable with my surroundings first and then I can start enjoying...

    Trying to put my mind at rest about safety

    I know the boards are abuzz with conversation about safety and security. I've read over and over again that the Camino is a safe place, safer than any city but what recently happened, did happen (with Denise Thiem), so just trying a ask a few questions so I can try and choose the best route for...

    Anyone Starting From Sarria In July?

    Since I have my itinerary here I thought I'd ask this question as well. Do you recommend hiking poles/sticks for this length of walk for someone whose knees seem ok so far?

    I'll walk with you...

    Thank you Viranani for creating this thread. I'm leaving on July 4th. I too would like to walk with someone over the next 7 days to reach Santiago on the 10th.

    Anyone Starting From Sarria In July?

    Thank you everyone for your valuable input. I don't know why I was attracted to doing this walk, it's not something I had imagined doing. But I feel like I'm about to do something special.
