I used BlaBlaCar car to from Bilbao to Pamplona and Santiago to Porto. It was fantastic and SO cheap! One driver had me meet him at the local airport. I waited in arrivals thinking it must be a passenger but turns out my driver was a pilot lol. He can right off the plane, in his uniform, and we...
My friend and I will be leaving from SJPP on the 5th. Jen is from the DC area and I live near Philadelphia. We met in college and are looking forward to bonding during the adventure. It will be her first Camino and my 3rd. I have never started in SJPP as I always begin in Pamplona so this feels...
Hi! My friend and I are staying one night in Bilbao then need to make our way to SJPP because we have reservations at Orisson on the 6th. We are on a tighter deadline this Camino. Hopefully we meet along the Way!!:)
Hi all! My friend, Jen, an I are curious to see if anyone would like to share a taxi to SJPP from Bilbao on the 5th of May 2022. This will be Jen’s very first Camino. I have walked from Pamplona to Santiago twice before-2016 and 2018. I’m excited to finally experience the beauty of the Pyrenees...

Thank you for the reminder! I need to buy waterproof mittens. My boots did not survive my second Camino so I tried switching to Hokas. I love the shoes but I am thinking about checking out their boots. Seems like they would help me more on uneven terrain and in mud🤔
Thank you for the words of wisdom! I was hoping my layered approach would work. I am pretty minimalistic on the Camino so not having to worry about bringing a coat makes me happy!
perfect! Ty! This is the first time I am bringing a bag heavier than a liner. I have had many a chilly night on...
I have completed two Caminos both starting in Pamplona. This May I will have more time and able to start in SJPP on May 6th. I am wondering how much cold weather clothing to bring. I always bring a fleece and a raincoat. Could I double up on those or am I underestimating the weather in the...
I also booked for May. About a week later I received an email with a link to pay. It just takes time to get a response but they have always responded to me. I wouldn’t worry, just trust the process. It is good practice for the patience you learn along the way. I quickly learned that time can...
