    No beds

    Hi guys, I was wondering what are the town's you found out that give you trouble finding a place to sleep on the frances? When I was walking it a month ago there where some full albergues but not entire towns with no accomodation left. What towns should people really book in advance ? And yes...

    Starting albergue

    yes thank you, I followed this post as well. And contacted Wendy weeks ago. But did not receive a reply. Maybe she changed her mind. Or she is busy with the albergue

    Starting albergue

    Hi, I was wondering if any people are interested in opening a Albergue on the Camino, or looking for business partners. Take over a existing one and so on. You can contact me privately

    Missing shoes

    Similar thing happened to me. Breaking in shoes ain't that bad. Just use the anti blister kit. Finding shoes is easy in Burgos. There is a sport store near the bus station. And a decatlon outside town

    Maybe its me

    I was referring to the Spanish part on Camino Portuguese and if you googled it you would see the entire primitivo is in spain... But its ok. Several people contacted me by chat to explain how this comes. And since all of them told me the same story I assume its true. And it backs up my story...

    Thank you for your reply. I'm actually in Najera today. And a hour ago I was having breakfast next to the river. And a older gentleman next to me told me he would stay 2 days in Najera and hope it got better public wise. In he's words he felled he was part of the longest pub crawl in the world.

    Thank you for the reaction Robo, honestly the issues of partying I seen so far where really with older generation (50+) from my age group ( 30/45 lets say I have not seen many pilgrims yet ) and -30 I see occasionally some people walking alone. And don't get me wrong I'm all for it that people...

    Maybe its me

    Hi guys, 10 days in now. And I have to say this Camino is not turning out what I expected it to be. I feel like the French way is a victim of its own commercial success. Hostels and pilgrim menus are roughly 33% more expensive then on the Portuguese route. And I feel it gets the wrong kind of...

    Live from the Camino

    I'm currently in Roncesvalles getting ready for Zubiri. The Valcarlos way was ok if you stick to the road but when you get of the road it was 1 mud pool and for many people very hard to get uphill the last 3km. I was wondering if these kind of dirt roads lay before us tomorrow as well ? I...
