Hej Alexwalker, fellow nordbo!
I did the Camino Frances 2006, in may-june, and I just want to tell you how I did. I went to Barcelona like you (I was there for five days and watched the F1-race at Circuit de Catalunya).
I had ordered traintickets on the Internet, one from Barcelona to Irun...
I just put my collapsible poles in the rucksack, a 50 l. The handles was sticking out, but when I checked-in the sack at the airport (both in Sweden and in Spain) noone made any remarks. All went well.
Buen Camino
Well, now I am in Barcelona and tonight I will go by train to Irun/Hendaya and then on to SJPP to start my Camino.
Butterflies flying in my stomach, but I feel confident that I will at least not die on the road. If I am strong enough to walk all the way, that I do not know, but I will at...
Women! If you are walking alone, get a whistle. No women alone should be without one, even in their own hometown.
Works both as getting help and to scare the villains away.

Many thanks Ivar and to all who have been helping me so far.
I knew I read about the Lista de Correos somewhere, but right now my head seems a bit too small for my thoughts and worries.
Camino Frances here I come!

Well, tomorrow I am off to Barcelona for a long weekend and on the 17 May I leave SJPP on foot, if all goes as planned.
But before I go there is one more thing (oh, I have hundreds of questions but now I am beginning to feel somewhat "que sera, sera")
I have read somewhere how to get mail in...
In my eager to arrive home as early as possible after my Camino, I have booked a flight early in the morning (0700) from Santiago airport. Foolishly I booked it before checking the bus-schedule. Now I see that it is to early for any buses and a taxi is to expensive, I think.
So, how do I get to...
Hello fellow peregrinos.
My name is Nisse and I am from Sweden. I am planing to start my Camino Frances from SJPP on May 17. First I will stay a few days in Barcelona and from there take the nighttrain to Irun/Hendaye and then to SJPP via Bayonne. An easy and fairly cheap solution to the...
Hello karanarttravel.
I have the same "problem". First time Pilgrim and going to Barcelona for a weekend and then on to the Camino (planing to start 16 or 17 of May).
Right now my plans are: going from Barcelona by train, Renfe, to Irun/Hendaye (Hendaya) nighttrain 2200 (arriving in Irun...
Ah, finally someone posting a very important question. Have been thinking much about it myself, but not had the nerve to start a topic.
But the answers is much about "no 1", if I am not mistaken. What about "no 2"? The same? Behind a bush or?
Hello Annie.
I am 49 yrs old from Sweden. I am starting alone from SJPP around 16 may so I hope I will be way ahead of you. Perhaps we will meet in SdC.
Buen Camino.
PS. You are not the only nervous person right now. DS

Is it possible to book a room at Hostal Bearan in advance and preferably via internet? I have searched but I can not find it.
I think it is a bit easier via the web than by telephone, as I do not speak spanish.
