    Re: Current Lunch Prices

    You still find places charging 10, but my experience is most are €12 to even 15. Right now in Finisterre i paid 15.90. Some only give 1 glass of wine instead of a half bottle, and some don't include a drink at all. You'll also frequently see coffee OR dessert. Quality varies. If they have to...

    Message from the Roncesvalles albergue - a difficult day.

    I was addressing points earlier in the thread, namely the pros and cons of a reservation system (someone earlier in the thread preferred more spaces for those who don't reserve), and the response i replied to indicating the opinion of the roncevalles volunteer hospitaleros. If you genuinely...

    Message from the Roncesvalles albergue - a difficult day.

    I know the galicia albergues don't permit reservations but technically have a pecking order.. i believe it goes disabled, walker, horseback, cyclist, with vehicle assistance, and finally first day. Reservation systems can't capture the nuances. Also ppl can lie and many hospitaleros won't argue.

    Getting from Orisson to Roncesvalles

    I misread. I thought you meant luggage. You still should check with express B if you actually want to go from the orisson to roncevalles. Eg if you're with ppl who are staying at the orisson. But as others advise, if solo it doesn't make sense to go that route if you can't manage it

    Compostela

    No, once you arrive and take a few photos of the cathedral, continue to the pilgrims office. They'll stamp your credential and give you your Compostela. You can complete this form now or closer to the time. https://oficinadelperegrino.com/en/sigle-register/

    Lost & Found Backpack stolen from albergue in León

    I'd still check with all the baggage transfer companies

    Three rescues on the Route Napoleon yesterday

    The authorities close the pass until 1st April not solely because of treacherous conditions including blizzards that some eager hikers ignore. They close the pass simply because a high proportion of people who walk it are unfit for the regular winter conditions and/or they bring unsuitable...

    Reverse daily luggage transfer

    Correos offers a service where you can send you bag for collection at another post office.. it's not available everywhere, it's not cheap, and it takes 24-48 hours before you can retrieve your paq at a post office. https://www.correos.es/es/es/particulares/enviar/envios-nacionales/paq-maleta...

    Death of American pilgrim in Castromaior today

    Very sad and traumatic for his wife but not the worst way to go

    €12000 fine on Route Napoleon?

    The legal ban exists because too many people walked this route while they were unfit or carrying inadequate equipment, hence the blanket ban. I hiked the inca trail. It was illegal to do so for environmental reasons..... Without a guide! Because there existed a market, the government put...

    €12000 fine on Route Napoleon?

    I did misinterpret the travel insurance comment. What I was saying is there may be a market to permit people to cross before 1st april provided they're with a professional guide. (Obviously this would be a small market!) E.g. guide would ensure no adverse weather forecasted, know when to turn...

    €12000 fine on Route Napoleon?

    It's an interesting read. It's basically saying the restrictions are put in places not because the route is particularly dangerous (except in blizzard conditions) but due to the amount of pilgrims not being fit enough and not carrying the correct equipment to safety trek it in winter conditions...

    €12000 fine on Route Napoleon?

    I stand to be corrected but i highly doubt the legislation details coordinates. Edit: and i stand corrected.

    €12000 fine on Route Napoleon?

    That's a relief! It's basically someone's interpretation of what constitutes a minor infraction of a law in Navarra. To say it's the fine for walking the Napoleon way in winter is a stretch.

    €12000 fine on Route Napoleon?

    I wonder how many insurers would cover you for ignoring travel warnings or intentionally putting yourself in danger. For example many insurers will deny claims if a hospital report notes alcohol in your system.
