    Camino Facil or Jacotrans

    Hello: You wrote us to our contact email too and my coworkers answered you, from what I've been told. However, for the benefit of other forum readers: if you haven't booked an albergue, you can still use our services and we'll carry your bag to the town and leave it in one of our own dropoff...

    Santa María De Eunate (april 2017 Update)

    Aaah, yes, the professional letter-writer. I have known a couple of them in my time too ;). I wonder if they exist in other countries like the U.S.?

    LIVE from the Camino Notes from Logrońo

    I suppose you have seen this one in Logroño itself:

    Santa María De Eunate (april 2017 Update)

    Hello: It seems that people have started noticing the changes, and some aren't too happy about it: https://twitter.com/nosinmimochila/status/862997242227154944 Do you mind if I reply on Twitter pointing to this thread for the rationale behind the decision?

    Expohistorica this weekend in Belorado

    Hello: Just a heads up, if you are walking the Camino and happen to be in Belorado during these days. This weekend (5th to 7th), there will be the second edition of Expohistorica, an historical exhibition/reenactment event organized by the city council. This year there will be, among other...

    "Miracle of the light" in San Juan de Ortega

    Great! Just make sure you arrive with plenty of time, since I've been told that there might be quite a crowd. 5PM solar time would be 19:00, but I have been advised to arrive as early as 16:00 (though I don't know if that might be too early).

    "Miracle of the light" in San Juan de Ortega

    Hi all: Just a heads up in case you are near San Juan de Ortega today or tomorrow (more on this later), since you might have the chance of watching live the "Miracle of the light". As described previously in this forum: The effect takes place on the spring and autumn equinocces. According to...

    Online Luggage Transfer Booking?

    Hello: No, there isn't really a limit, within reason. For example, our maximum weight for each pack is 20 kg., but if your suitcase is 22 kg. there won't be a problem. Now, if your suitcase is 40kg... we might have to charge you the price of 2 packs. The same applies to size: generally...

    Camino Facil or Jacotrans

    Hello. Just wanted to mention: in Caminofacil's website you can also book online with a credit card, and the site also saves your personal information. As for the quality of our service, I am obviously biased ;), so I'll let those who have used it speak for us. Do a search for "Caminofacil" in...

    After Portomarin is better to turn right

    Related to this: http://www.lavozdegalicia.es/noticia/galicia/2016/02/15/pueblo-queria-ver-pasar-peregrinos/0003_201602G15P8991.htm Some neighbours from the newly marked route complain that they don't want the Camino passing through their villages.

    Special places deserving exploration on C. Frances

    This is an excellent point. I know from personal experience that places have much more resonance if I already know a bit first about their history when I visit them: otherwise it's just "oh, nice church, okay". I'm not saying that people should become medieval scholars before walking the...

    Special places deserving exploration on C. Frances

    Finally found the time to write a bit about this... If you want to see something a bit offbeat, in Belorado (Burgos) you'll find a broadcasting museum with a collection of radios from all around the world: military ones, radios used in merchant shipping and aviation... There's also all sorts of...

    Online Luggage Transfer Booking?

    Just to clarify: you don't *have* to use the tags. They are convenient, but we will also pick up bags if you don't have them. As for planning ahead, you can register on our website to change our order after you've made it, if you decide to go to another albergue or town. Or you can order your...

    Pamplona

    Off-topic trivia: this is also the reason why the famous monastery of San Lorenzo de el Escorial, close to Madrid, has the floor plan similar to that of a grill.

    Online Luggage Transfer Booking?

    Thanks a lot, Laurie! ;) (I should clarify, though, that I am not Javier, the owner of Caminofacil, but the person in charge of online operations (website development, social media...) of the company. Just to clear any doubts...) Back to the subject, you can indeed book online through our...

    Weather heads-up: strong winds and rain today and tomorrow in Galicia and Leon

    Hello all: During today and tomorrow, there will be an "explosive cyglogenesis" (does this expression even exist in English?) affeting the NW part of the Peninsula, specially Galicia and León. This means that heavy rain and strong winds are expected (by strong I mean winds of up to 100 km/h in...

    The Renfe Rail strike

    The spanish expression for this is "servicios mínimos" (minimum services). Just in case you need to ask about your train.

    Too much water

    The thing about dehydration is that your body starts getting dehydrated before you actually feel any symptoms; thus, if you are walking on a hot day, it's a good idea to drink water regularly even if you don't feel thirsty... ...But that doesn't mean that you have to drink 8 glasses or...
