    Duo Lingo or Something Else?

    In a nutshell: Look into the concept of "comprehensible input." This page does a good job explaining it: https://www.dreamingspanish.com/method. I'm conversational (i.e. I can do pretty well talking one-on-one to most Spaniards on most any topic unless it's one I have no interest in/no...

    Le Puy to Conques in October - Trip Report

    Oh how I loved the Le Puy route. I haven't walked the Norte, so can't speak to that, but for those considering this route, I second a lot of what Longwei has said. I walked from Le Puy-en-Velay to Figeac. Beautiful scenery, definitely some intense ups and downs (maybe felt moreso because I was...

    Which route to walk if we're only doing the last 100km to Santiago?

    I've never hear of this Pedra e Aqua section -- will look into that!

    Which route to walk if we're only doing the last 100km to Santiago?

    I do like the appeal of a quieter route. I'll look into this one as well:)

    Can you tell me why? Thank you!

    Which route to walk if we're only doing the last 100km to Santiago?

    Thank you for all these suggestions! Yes, I've done a few Caminos -- CF, CP, and the VP is the Via Podiensis, which is the Le Puy route -- not sure how it's abbreviated on here. The reason I'm asking about the last 100km is that I've really only walked two routes into Santiago -- CP and CF. I...

    Which route to walk if we're only doing the last 100km to Santiago?

    Hello dear pilgrims -- I've done a few caminos, but this will be the first for my husband. He wants to do the last 100km (as he can only walk for a week and wants to get a compostela) and wants to walk a route that has "cute towns." We'll be doing this in June, 2019. So should we do the last...

    Setting up a Blog

    I did mine via wordpress as well. However, I HIGHLY recommend you post at least 3-4 blogs before you leave so you know how it all works. All too often, people set up the blog before they go, then never post a thing as it's hard to learn to do something new once you're already over there. Learn...

    Accommodations between Le Puy and Conques

    I second both of these. Montbonnet was delightful. New, beautiful, delicious food. Le Sauvage -- loved the ambiance and the fact that they support local farmers.

    Lodging in Finieyrols

    I stayed at Rose de l'Aubrac and also highly recommend it. I was there in July of last year. The space was lovely. And the food -- !! I stayed in the dorm on the second floor, but got a peek at the private rooms and they were just as lovely. Our meal: veggie soup, salad, mushroom quiche...

    Cost of accommodation from Le Puy to SJPDP?

    MC -- I'm just walking from Le Puy to Air Sur l'Adour. Does the guidebook you just got cover that area? If so, from what web site did you purchase it? Thank you! -Rebecca
