    I turn 70 next year. My wife is a little younger. We walked the Frances route from St Jean in 2017 and again in 2018. We plan to walk again starting the first week of May in 2022. Both of us can’t wait to get started. We have purchased our boots and walking now to break them in. Like our...

    Pre-St. Jean Walking in France

    These are all wonderful suggestions, but I expected nothing less from all of you. There are any number of wonderful books published from people who have walked the French Way (for example) in Spain. Are there any books (in English) of someone's experience walking the Le Puy routed that you...

    Pre-St. Jean Walking in France

    We like walking in a variety of settings, even across the Meseta. Our thoughts were to start 2 weeks away from St. Jean, but now you got me thinking. We could walk 2 weeks anywhere in France with suitable accommodations, "guideposts", etc. And then train/bus to St. Jean. Suggestions?

    Weather!!!

    My wife and I are on the Camino now. We started in SJPP on May 13 and checked in Albergue Rosalia in Castrojeriz a few minutes ago. Yes the weather reports call for cold and rain but it has not been bad. Rain is usually not much more than drizzle a few hours during the day but more common is...

    Weather!!!

    My wife and I spent the day today in SJPP. It was a light to heavy drizzle off/on most of the day with very heavy forcast. The man at the Camino office told us to expect some snow on the mountain tomorrow. Hope this helps a little. We are going for it tomorrow and will take whatever as it comes.

    Starting Second Camino Frances from SJPP on May 13

    My wife and I finished our first Camino Frances last summer. I hated for it to end. It took me almost 3 weeks to adjust and knew I needed to do this at least one more time. My wife said she was glad we accomplished it together but for her, never again. But that decision changed over the next...

    Which route next...?

    Germany sounds real interesting. Is there a good guidebook in English for these?
