Thanks for this comment. Wonder if there are comments about this path on dry days. I have put a note on my map as I leave from Burgos next week for part 2 of my camino
Hi,you get a listing of all the albergues in SJPP from the pilgrim’s office. I just booked my first night inSJPP and then used the list to reserve next one or not. What’s app , called he day before the albergue as well as used Gonze.
just checked it out . looks like a great stop. I'm arriving from.Bordeaux to Hendaye on my way to Burgos to resume my camino . I just found this thread. Now the plan is to goo there and spend the night before heading to Burgos.
I am off to continue my Camino from Burgos this year to the end and look forward to the Meseta April 17. I suppose will be windy and getting green. The website you recommended is awesome. Thank you!
I agree with this comment. Not going on the camino after Viskaret especially if wet. I was delighted i had walking poles. A must actually on the Camino in general. I did it. Took a while and i had to stop regularly. I am not sure about the road.
I have done IF on the camino. I started walking at 6 am for cool weather and walked until about 9 am where I would find a village and have breakfast. Rare were the albergues where I was which had breakfast. I had some lunch depending on the menu appealing or not it could be more or less...
I've walked with the Bondi 8 and they were perfect for me. Needed good shoes for a knee with several ACl surgeries. Found them comfortable and good grip.
I just did 300 km with my HOka and loved them. Met also other walkers with the speed goats and did very well. I have had 5 knee surgeries on one knee and the Hoka Bonddi have been comfortable and perfect for my camino. Just one to give another perspective on the shoes. Might have been a...
The last dinner is at 8:30. Mass is at 8:00. Many Pilgrims went to mass then to dinner. I believe there was a 7:30 dinner that was already booked when I arrived at 3pm. It was so crowded on Wednesday night ! Very rigid management. Met people who were like me quite surprised. Buen camino!
Thanks. I have downloaded the apps you mention and bringing the book. I was not sure if one had the best maps, comments and albergues all in one! I have to check OSMAnd , do not know this one. Appreciate you taking the time
In a week I will start my camino and am almost ready. What app in your experience is the best for following the route on the Camino Frances from SJPP , list of albergues etc... I saw that ninja highly rated is no longer available
check Decathlon stores - it is a chain of french sports store with good equipment. There are poles in all price ranges. This is what i will be doing when i start in 3 weeks. Im sure there are other stores in SJPP or on the Spanish side
if you go to a french pharmacie , they have a small white box of Boule Quies , they are wax and totally moldable. this is for me the best one but have never tried them on the Camino... hope they work in three weeks :)
Thank you. I am french actually but have not lived in France for over 40 years. I will be in France at the time. I want to see what SJPP is all about and get started there. Buen Camino
