Hi fellow pirigrinos!
How are you all doing?
I’m on my Camino right now, and have basically decided to walk to Finisterra.
I have several questions!
1. How long it takes? I hear it takes three days. Is that right?
2. How many km is it?
3. Once I arrive in Finisterre, how long do I need (for a...
Hi Peter, thanks for your reply!
I am confident I can travel with my ID card - however, I was just wondering, perhaps for some reason albergues wouldn't take people in, unless they see a passport or something like that.
I know perhaps not all country nationals will be able to relate to this question.
I have an EU national identity card - I can fly with it freely anywhere in the EU - no passport needed. Also, I have a driving licence; so I was thinking to just bring these two cards - nice, compact, easy.
Is...
Hi yall,
I have my walking boots to take and walk in; and I was planning to take my flip flops and nothing else. However my parents say I must take a second pair of shoes, at least to start with, and alternate, and then just throw, or leave behind on the camino, as I have settled in my boots...
Hey all,
Simple question, to get a relative idea of what is 'the norm'.
I've read something like 10% of body weight. Let me know, so I have an idea what to aim for.
Regards,

I'm literally just looking at that right now
It seems like there is a train at around 9pm on Sunday only.
The flight i'm looking at only lands at 16:55, best case scenario - no delays, nothing, but it would be pushing it indeed for me too! I am considering to book the Express Bourricot perhaps?
You know, the only reason I'm asking, is because, when I was looking, I saw that the last train is at 18:12. According to your PDF, there is a train later than that. So, I'm basically trying to get to the bottom of this :)
Hi guys,
I'm starting to look at tickets now. Will I need to book a piece of luggage?? Or can my backpack pass for hand luggage that doesn't need to be checked in?
(Just imagine an average 35+5 litre pilgrim backpack.)
To those that have done this already - have you had to check the bag in...
Hello everyone!
I have never ever stayed in an albergue. I have gotten the idea (Please correct me if I'm wrong!) from my guidebook, and whatever I have heard - that you just turn up, maybe need to queue, and hope for the best (i.e. - that they have a bed and space for you).
Is there any...
Hi guys!
As I was asking for more details on how to get from the airport to St Jean, many people were talking about Express Bourricot, I didn't really consider it right away, and thought to keep it as a plan B.
However, it just seems so much easier, and less fuss and drama to take this service...
Hi guys!
I decided to most probably go for a sleeping bag. However, the one in my local camping store is around 880 grams - I've read and heard people with sleeping bags that weight 500 grams or so. I don't really know, if it would be alright for me to just buy the one they have in the store or...
Hi everyone!
I was looking on here: https://www.goeuro.es/travel-search2/results/788596999/train?v=wa_dw_bwg:on
and it looks like there are only four trains that run from Bayonne to St. Jean a day! Is that right?Or are there more trains, but perhaps from a different company that run at other...
