Can you recommend hostels in St. Jean Pied? I was looking at Gite Makila but it is booked for my first night, which is a shame but will check again later. I have never needed to book ahead doing the Portugues and Primitivo but understand the Frances is more popular, and see on the forum people...
Haha, I was replying in American lingo pants (trousers), not underwear UK :) Although I do sometimes hike without underwear and wear short running tights instead... ooh lalal!
Hi, thanks for your reply. I won't be wearing pants so this is my reason for just wearing long tights and shorts over the top. I expect like you say I won't need them most of the time but I did experience doing the Primitivo a couple of years ago being very cold starting at 6am and walking in...
I am doing the Camino Frances in September and want to get some tights to stay warm hiking in the cold morning mountains. I have no experience wearing long tights and am confused about what types I should get: cool weather vs cold. The temperature will be 8-10 celsius lowest and rising to 20 c...
Hi, Reaching out to all you lovely people I met doing the Primitivo late May to June. Tania and Eddie, Ingar and Yulia, Juan Carlos, Ingrid, Peter, Jose and friends, Yana, Man Li, Pilar, Camilla.
Sorry if I missed some of you.

Thanks guys, the Primitivo is calling me, although the Del Norte does look beautiful that shall be 2020 walk. Now just to decide which part. mmm...
Also I was wondering if there is an opportunity to hire a bike for a day. I thought it would be interesting to cycle for one day and walk the rest.
I would love to and can take two weeks holiday to do the walk but as I am working I only have limited holiday a year - 5 weeks, I have to stretch it out over the year. If I wasn't working I'd happily spend 4 weeks doing a walk. I'm guessing you are from Europe, retired or not?, and devote a good...
Hi, I realise there will always be social people on the walks but I was after a more sociable experience this time, if that's possible. On the Portuguese this year Tui to Santiago we did talk to a few people and everyday there were about 6 - 10 people walking in the same vicinity as us, say...
Hi, My friend and I did the last 100km Portuguese Tui to Santiago earlier this year and are discussing whether to do Frances or Primitivo next year. The Portuguese was great, and the reason we are coming back to do another walk - already addicted :) but we have some difference of opinion. While...
Thanks for your suggestions, after doing the last 100k of the Portuguese Tui to Santiago this year '18 I absolutely loved it. The reason I chose the Portuguese was because I heard the Frances is so busy and 'people marching down the streets'. The Portuguese was amazing but I'd like to try the...
Hi, I did the last 10km of Camino Portugues this year and am looking to do a part of the Frances next year. I like the idea that I could design a route to do the main part walking but also take train and do cycling some parts. I was interested in the 2nd and 3rd parts; Pamplona to Logrono and...
