    LIVE from the Camino Welcoming pilgrims at Arrés

    Phil and our 3 pilgrims have headed put to watch the sunset. I am off to an early appt with my pillow. Our German pilgrim and I worked together and made some hummus and potato tomato basil soup for supper. No leftovers tonight! Two of our pilgrims had stayed with our American hospitalera...

    Is it possible to land at MAD at 7:10am and get to Chamartín to catch a 10am train? Other options??

    Quickest way to Chamartin if you land at T4 is the Cercanias train. Takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Otherwise you need to take the transfer bus to T4 to catch it. Go to the bottom level of T4. If you have tickets already, look for Cercanias Combinado on the ticket. It gives you a free C train...

    Theoretically there is a way to get groceries delivered here, but it was going to be more complicated so we took the easy but more expensive route. Also on lighter days we can sight see. Might go to Sos del Rey Catholicas one day.

    Behind us, the sign with the yellow man means that HosVol volunteers serve at the albergue. Up to 3 pilgrims now- France, Germany, Australia. Its been rainy and cold today. We have shut the doors and windows to keep out the wind (and the flies).

    LIVE from the Camino Welcoming pilgrims at Arrés

    Mid day report: one pilgrim so far today. Phil and I drove into Jaca for a few groceries. I spent 77 euros which should last us a few days unless we get a hungry hoard. Maria and Manuel also left us stocked with some basics in addition to the Spaghetti sauce. There is a lot of spaghetti left...

    LIVE from the Camino Welcoming pilgrims at Arrés

    Hola todos! Phil and I arrived in our rental car at the albergue about 1:30 pm. Manuel and Maria were waiting for us and after a quick handoff lasting about 90 minutes, they departed for their homes. Phil and I are experienced hospitaleros so they felt the albergue was in good hands. We have 9...

    Sarria to Santiago will be busiest in July when many Spanish pilgrims are on holiday and want to get to Santiago to celebrate St James day.

    Where to stay in Madrid?

    Marriott Convention Center or Marriott AC Hotel Coslada are our go to places near the airport. Both have airport shuttles and the city bus stops out front to take you into town or alternatively take the shuttle back to the airport and then metro, Bus, or C train into town. We also stay at the...

    Resmed equip need on CF

    https://www.tutratamiento.com/en/ Here is a store in Madrid. Maybe call or get a Spanish speaking friend to help you call. Order your mask and have it shipped to Leon?

    Resmed equip need on CF

    The easiest way may be to have the part shipped to you overnight. It means you may have to have the part shipped to you in Leon at a hotel.

    Post-Camino Day? Burgos / Zaragoza / Madrid?

    We stayed in an AirBnB in the old town. Easy access to that area by city bus!

    Urgent - Seeking accessible accommodation near Santiago

    So sorry to hear this. We rented a single story AirBnB in Santiago for next month? You might check vacation rentals? Or maybe someone who lives in Santiago like @natefaith or @ivar might know someone or somewhere?

    LIVE from the Camino Janet and Phil on the CF 2023

    I am 😥 sad to say that I don't feel very pilgrimlike today. We arrived on the train and walked to a hotel nearby so we'd be close tomorrow to pick up the car rental. Moments before the hotel had rooms on booking.com so I felt certain there would be plenty of rooms available. We walked in as she...

    Hi @Rebecky. I saw peanut butter today in Pamplona at a small fruit and grocery stand on the Camino. Posting a photo of the front. C. Mercaderes, 12, 31001 Pamplona, Navarra, Spain

    LIVE from the Camino Janet and Phil on the CF 2023

    Either we are getting better at the selfie thing or this was a fluke. After a long rest at the AC Coslado Hotel we are on the train to Pamplona. Learned how to use the Cercanias Combination feature of our train ticket. Rather than having to get a ticket at a machine using our CC code on the...

    How to tell my parents?

    Are you living at your parent's home or your own. If you are on your own, you can just plan to let them know the day before or the day of your travel. Keep it light, don't argue and let them know how you will keep in touch. If you live with them, it may be more difficult to separate their...

    Finally made it to Madrid and just up from a 4 hour nap! It's raining and lightening here in the suburbs of Madrid. Our plane was delayed in Frankfurt again. We were loaded onto a bus and taken to a plane near the airport periphery. Then the pilot boarded our buses to say that the cabin crew...

    Yes, no issues. They made others measure their cases, but we just wore ours on the plane and there were no questions.

    LIVE from the Camino Janet and Phil on the CF 2023

    Yay, made it to Frankfurt! Flight to Madrid is slightly delayed. The chief cabin agent on our Chicago to Frankfurt overseas flight noticed our backpacks and patches. She leaves for Porto in 2 days. She was very excited and came to talk to us twice for advice during the trip. I told her about...
