    Private room recommendations between Carrion de los Condes and Leon on the Meseta

    I’m having difficulty at the beginning of all places. Roncevalles & Zubiri. I figured if I can at least book the first two, then I can reserve as I go. I’m using Gronze & Ivar’s guide book from 2020. I just may not be as tech savvy as I need. I did find one in Espinal near Roncesvalles. It’s...

    Private room recommendations between Carrion de los Condes and Leon on the Meseta

    Washing socks with Vaseline buildup

    Washing socks with Vaseline buildup

    I'm very prone to blisters. After reading recommdations from this forum before my Camino in September, I bought Body Glide a a local sports store. Used it for training & the Camino. Not one blister!! Happy feet!

    best hotel in palas de rei?

    In September my wife & I stayed at Casa Camino in Palas de Rei. A bit off the Camino, but the most comfortable beds & gracious hosts on the Camino. In Arzua, we stayed at Casa Brandariz. Excellent Casa, great food & they provide transportation. Best of luck.

    Sarria to santiago

    My wife & I stayed at Casa Brandariz in Arzua. Beautiful Casa, well kept & delicious dinner. Off the Camino, but they provide free transport for all pilgrims. Hope this helps. Buen Camino!
