      If you decide on the Francés again, I recommend starting on the Camino Aragonés. It's about a week's walking from Somport to where you join the Francés at Puente la Reina. https://www.gronze.com/camino-aragones

      Perhaps it’s inherent laziness, or perhaps it’s because I live in the mountains. But caminos that are constantly up and down don’t excite me as much. I don’t mind some up and down. And the occasional big up and down, such as you get on the CF...

      tarredon reacted to JennyH94's post in the thread Volunteering at Pilgrim’s Office with Like Like.
      Hi @Momwiz - My suggestion would be to call into the Pilgrim Office as soon as you arrive in Santiago, after you check in to SMP. If for some reason Montse isn’t there one of the permanent staff will be able to help you. It’s open until 7pm...

      This is for anyone who has volunteered at the Pilgrim’s office. I have asked a few questions about doing this before but now it’s crunch time as I am flying to Santiago on October 20 to begin my two week stint as a volunteer. I reached out to...

      tarredon reacted to Bradypus's post in the thread Credential Stamp Requirements with Like Like.
      If you are cycling then you need two stamps per day for the final 200km. Walkers need two per day for the final 100km. People who have walked or cycled longer distances sometimes report being given a Compostela with only one stamp per day but why...

      All the advice was to skip to porto. North of Aguida is thick smoke and apparently a lot of damage. Local advice was that even after the fire is consoled it is pretty much a wasteland to walk. Trains weren't running to Alveiro because of fires...

      I didn't know that you could use diatomaceous Earth against bed bugs but it doesn't surprise me. I too used it with my chickens, it's wonderful stuff, I never had any mite issues. Humans can actually consume it, not only is it not negative it's...

      Do also consider that there are many LARGE country dogs along the Camino. They are used to, and mostly ignore human pilgrims. I cannot help thinking, based on experience, that these large and sometimes aggressive dogs, will consider that your...

      I am sorry to say this, but your message seems a bit unfair to @Unweekends, at least as I interpret it. I don't know if you ever had pets, maybe you do, but while I personally don't think it's a good idea to bring the dog (and I suggested so in...
