    Stay in SJPP overnight or start for Orisson

    From NYC to where? Paris, Barcelona, Madrid or Lisbon? Then you are a full day or more, to SJPP. If you end up at Pamplona or Bordeaux at the tail end of your first day, then I suppose you would get to SJPP early enough to walk up to Orisson. I wouldn't though...the afternoon in Saint Jean is...

    A busy April?

    It would be sad to think most people skip the Meseta. I found it a time for introspection and there was a quiet beauty to it.

    Good addition to a baseball cap

    Terri! Where are you in this umbrella discussion?! You are the Umbrella Queen

    You know, the id still has our sons and daughters firmly in its grip. So, if they can’t imagine something looking cool on you- discussion over! That’s why I don’t ask for permission, only for forgiveness

    We come from a land down under

    It’s a mild shock in comparison to the one coming later after Sarria!

    Lauren from New York on Planning my 1st Camino!

    BTW, my comment about losing weight is only meant as something ancillary to what you are undertaking. It will be warm in June and daily mileage of this sort is beyond anyones norm. You seem very straightforward and positive. I wish you a Bom Caminho!

    Lauren from New York on Planning my 1st Camino!

    Well, congratulations! You have a lot to look forward to a good amount of time to plan. If you’re gonna walk slower, and I am a slow walker, perhaps you will walk 10 to 12 miles a day. I typically average around 15, which is possible, even as a slow walker in about six hours at 4K per hour. This...

    Accommodations at Pamplona, Zubiri in May

    Casa Suseia takes reservations (private albergue). Very nice women runs it. It is on the edge of town, so quiet, which I liked!

    Camino Portuguese Starting Week In September

    I think someone let @Tincatinker off his leash….hope Dennis didn’t book his tickets based on the “advice”😂

    Is mid-April a good time to start the Camino Francés? Thank you.

    I should’ve checked the calendar… Easter is right at the beginning of the month!

    Is mid-April a good time to start the Camino Francés? Thank you.

    Yes, just keep in mind that Spaniards come out in large numbers during Semana Santa (Easter week). So, accommodations are much harder to find. Buen Camino

    Everyone has a personal life to attend and I wish her all the best. Faith is a very welcoming person and the Pilgrim House is a real asset to our community

    LIVE from the Camino Krause on the Camino del Norte

    I used Buen Camino, which shows those options.

    LIVE from the Camino Krause on the Camino del Norte

    That’s a beautiful section! I started in Sanillana Del Mar two years ago. Lots of beauty still in front of you. Take coastal rural tract options off the pavement, for some spectacular walking and views
  15. Richmond Gardner

    You can invite a companion on Camino, but you can't make them walk (in preparation)!

    We’ll, of course, you can have her carry the pack to start with and as a way of limiting what she brings…and then if problems develop- put a tag on that thing and send it!
