That's what I did, and it worked fine for me. I started from SJPP on April 24, so I experienced all kinds of weather, including windy, cold, and rainy days.
On my first Camino in 2003(Roncesvalles to Santiago) I had a chronic problem with blisters, but managed fine with the help of many visits to the farmacias along the way.
I finished my 2nd Camino (SJPP-Santiago) on June 14,2012:)
This time, I had a few blisters, but my main issue was something...

To deepen my relationship with God; to get reacquainted with Mary the Mother of Jesus; to let go of everything that keeps me from fully expressing God's love.
I am leaving from SJPP on April 24, and have also vowed to pick up a bag of litter every day. I have the forum patch on my backpack, so I think that will be a good advertisement. Wouldn't it be wonderful if all forum members got the patch and made a "green Camino" pledge? We could really make a...
I vote for Keen as well, and I know they're expensive, but I got custom orthotics for this Camino. Haven't left yet, but they are making HUGE difference in my training walks.
SabineP,
I am carrying prayers inside a little Teddy bear,"Orando Osito"(praying toy bear:). I will add a prayer for you and your mother and father, and take it to the Pilgrim's Chapel in the cathedral at Santiago. So you will be making the Camino with Orando Osito and me. I hope you will be...
GT,
I did walk from Roncesvalles to Santiago in 2003. This time I plan to start in SJPP and continue on to Finisterre /Muxia. Can't wait!!
Buen Camino!
Andy, I would be more than happy to pray for you and your charity. I have added your name to my list, and will remember you every day. I start walking from SJPP on April 24.

Greetings, Softie!
I am arriving in SJPP on April 23, and will start walking on the 24th. Look for me along the way. Short woman with red backpack, a forum patch, and a Teddy bear filled with prayer requests:)

I did just fine with a small fanny pack, and plan on using a similar one this time. All my valuables--cash, passport, credencial, iPhone, charger, etc. fit comfortably inside. It didn't interfere with my backpack buckle/belt at all. The fanny pack accompanied me everywhere--into shower, and into...
I am interested in traveling from Pamplona to SJPP on April 23. The cost for one person using Express Bourricot is 84 euro. Too steep for me! Is anyone interested in traveling on the same day, and we could split the fare?

I went on Amazon and bought the one copy available. I love the film! The English subtitles do not in any way interfere with my enjoyment of the movie. I actually prefer it to "The Way," (which I also own), and am happily sharing it with family and friends, as I prepare for my April Camino.
Hi Toobizy,
Orisson is an exception to the rule. Do book there in advance. Although even there I think they hold a couple of beds open for last minute pilgrims. After that...no reservations needed:). No worries. I made my first Camino 9 years ago in the high season when there were far fewer...
