    Question about Valcarlos Route from SJPDP

    I walked the Valcarlos route roughly mid September last year. My preference was to do Napolean but the camino office indicated very poor weather that day for that route and they strongly advised Valcarlos. Ok. I figured I would be walking with many others. I didn't see another pilgrim for approx...

    Biking part of the Meseta

    Thanks for the feedback. I checked out the bike company mentioned, Velobur, and I'm waiting to hear back from them. Yes, I kind of estimated only 2-3 days from Fromista. I'm glad to hear I can do pretty much all of it on the trail and it's pretty flat. Good to know about Carrion. If I don't...

    Biking part of the Meseta

    Hi! I'm eagerly anticipating returning to complete the second half of CF next month. I've decided to bike a short distance, to have that experience as well: from Fromista where I left off, to Leon or perhaps a little further. There are several companies to hire from. Their packages and daily...

    Duffel bag for air travel

    Hi, If you needed the duffle bag going over don't you need it to come back? I used a duffle bag on my first venture last fall and I'll be doing the same again when I resume in 3 short weeks! I simply packed it up and mailed it to my destination. Having the duffle bag enabled me to pick up a few...

    List of Albergues with communal meals - 2015

    Great list. Thanks! Will keep it in mind when I return in May! I would include Maison Kaserna in St Jean. Walked with a few and encountered several others along the way that I met here on my first night. A very special way to start this special journey! :)

    Lessons to be learned from 'Little John'

    Thank you for these pearls of wisdom regarding the exuberance, passion and determination of such a special man. I, like others here, was quite saddened and moved by reading how things have changed for John. I work for the Alzheimer Society. I understand quite well the course that dementia...

    Rabe and Boadilla update, anyone?

    En el Camino is where I spent my last night on the Camino back in October, so it particularly stood out in my mind. I was very sad to leave as everyone else of course was continuing on. It was truly a delightful place, very homey, good food and comfortable atmosphere! Staff (aka family) worked...

    Returning to SJPdP by taxi

    Hi Dave The above options are good considerations. However if you are wanting to head back down, yes Orisson will call for you. It was approx a half hr wait, so if you're having lunch there you might want to call part way through (or not. . . .if it's a nice clear day you can continue to absorb...

    Hi Jolene, My name is Susan. I m starting on September 21 but from St Jean Pied de Port. I may only be 2 or 3 days behind you. Perhaps our paths will cross in the coming weeks. This is a new experience for me too. From what I've been hearing and reading there are many single people who are...
