    Via de la Plata or Levante or Mózarabe

    Hi peregrina2000 & thanks for the rapid & very helpful response. Soon after I commenced planning this adventure I realized that the selection of a route was going to be problematic. Here are my initial thoughts: 1. Although I really enjoyed the VdlP & repeating that journey (I walked it in 2018)...

    Via de la Plata or Levante or Mózarabe

    Since 2016 I've walked a number of the major Camino routes - Frances x 2, Via de la Plata, Portuguese (inland & coastal). Norte, Primitivo. My favourite is undoubtedly the VdlP because of its wide-open spaces, big sky (I'm Australian!) & the feeling of achievement & empowerment I gained...

    Finally a camino tattoo

    Got mine in 2018 after completing the VdlP. As I get older (now 68) & slower I'm thinking of a snail for the opposite arm?

    Suitcase Transport to SdC

    We're arriving at Biarritz Airport at the end of April 2023. We intend to walk out of the airport to the French town of Bidart on the coast. From Bidart we'll walk the Voie Littorale to Irun to commence the Camino Del Norte. My question is: How can we get our post-Camino suitcase to Santiago...

    Albergues at 100% capacity ?

    We left SJPdP on 7 April. It was busy to Burgos, mainly with Spaniards walking in their Easter break. Since the week after Easter no problems. Plenty of accommodation & currently no need to book ahead.

    Transport Options on the Meseta

    We’re currently in Villafranca Montes de Oca & will arrive by bus into Burgos on Wednesday with a rest day on Thursday. My companion has developed painful ‘shin splints’ in her right calf. She is taking the usual meds & for the last 2 days has used the backpack transport service. My question is...

    Have accommodation options changed due to covid or reduced significantly?

    Hi, We left SJPdP on 7 April & spent the night at Borda (pre-booked). Next 2 nights at Espinal & Larrasoana, no bookings. Did not have difficulty securing a bed in either location. Plenty of accommodation options open along the way. Masks are being worn when you go to the bar to order & inside...

    Just an other life-lesson to be be learned from the Camino.

    Orisson Open?

    Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread. As always my knowledge (maybe even wisdom!) has increased via the interaction with forum members. The background for my original question was that I'm staying the night of 7th April at Auberge Borda. The auberge accepts guests from 2:30pm...

    Starting from SJPDP on 7 April 2022

    Hi Anniesantiago, I haven't done it that way but I can see the merits. I travel well on planes so jet lag has never been a major issue. Also my first 2 days are pretty easy. I've spent time in Pamplona so I may not overnight there this time but if I do I'm hoping (fingers crossed!) that the...

    Starting from SJPDP on 7 April 2022

    Hi Greg, I used this method on my first Camino in 2017. Back then I had to do a bus transfer from CDG to Orly for the flight to Biarritz. This was convenient & economical but somewhat stressful as the traffic can be horrendous so you need to factor this in when catching the connection. This time...
