Hey there, I walked through July and August last year, and the only time I needed a fleece was in O'Cebriero. It was amazingly warm, and I am an Aussie accustomed to heat. I took a liner, no sleeping bag and didn't regret that decision ever. If you get cool most Alburgues have blankets. I...
The Alburgue in Fonfria has a community meal that included a local soup, then a braised meat meal which was awesome, and a homemade dessert which also hit the apt. Their wine was a typical low budget but ok red.. I was craving veggies and they delivered!!!
Definitely.. I did my Camino 22/7 to 22/8/2013.. With a thermal liner (not silk) and it was fine.. The places known for being cooler generally provide blankets.
Just arrived in Leon.. So this is from the Camino.. I bought poles in SJPP and was so glad for them.. But I am 47 and my ankles, shins and knees have thanked me each day!! Your pack sounds perfect.. You are going to Spain.. Anything you feel you must have can be bought here! Travel as light as...

I left the beautiful Roncesvalles Alburgue about 6 days ago.. No booking as mentioned, they have an overflow so you should be ok.. It is currently still light until 10pm.. So you won't be wandering around in the dark!!
I have bought some of the various small paper sheet type soaps/laundry soap/shampoo.. I haven't seen these mentioned much on threads.. Has anyone tried them???
Hey Becca I have booked at the Itzalpea (or something like that!) for my first night. It's a little hotel, not a hostel. I leave on the 21 July and booked a while ago. Good luck!!
Hi I am heading to SJPP around 19/20 July from Pamplona. I am flying in from Perth WA.. My walking has increased and I am ready to start building with my pack.. Exciting!!!
