***This article was a *** JOKE*. I did Camino for accomplishment, because I thought it's pretty cool to walk 800 kms on your own feet. If you wonder: I keep all my certificates, including Compostela, in a drawer, not on the wall. I needed no "miracle" in my life, I didn't want a change in my...
The ordinary ones from Tiger Stores. You can find Tiger Store in every bigger city, there is one in Pamplona, and they sell a box of 10 pairs or so for 1 euro. Worked perfectly for me.
Are you guys kidding me? If he is mentally ill, it means that he is not responsible and/or not in control of what he does and he may hurt himself or someone else. That's why right now it's more important to let people know about it, than to protect his privacy. It's like looking for a missing...
It's not like taking mortgage or getting married... It's not a decision that's neccesarily is going to shape your future. Do you have any other idea on how to better spend this month of your life?
So, to let you know: NO BEDBUGS! I hope they have finally managed to tackle the problem for good. (In the same time, a remark: SJPP info is not accurate, it's €8 instead of 5 and there is breakfast included - mandatory).
So, I'm adding albergue Ave Fenix from Villafranca de Bierzo to the "cold" list. Now, that I'm feeling okay, it didn't really bother me much, bit I'll keep this list for the ones who are doing Camino in the winter and the ones who are not feeling well.
Ave Fenix has heating, but it's...
I took the abovementioned pharmagrip and it worked like a magic spell. Thank you for all your support. I'm totally fine now.
For the list of top albergues I may add Santiago Apostol in El Acebo (theoretically no heating, but it was warm and the showers are awesome) and Siervas de Maria in...
I have an urgent question: today I'm going to stay in Villafranca and I would like to sleep in Albergue Fenix. The only problem is that I've heard they have massive problem with bedbugs. The latest information about it is from two months ago. Do you have any up to date i fo about it?
Thank you for the good wishes, I'm on strong pills now, so hopefully I will get better. To answer some of you:
First of all, where I come from even the law says that if the temperature falls below 14 degrees indoors, employees can refuse to work. I've slept in a tent in the middle of a snowy...
For some, it's a pilgrimage, for some it's just an accomplishment, without any particular depth in it. I don't ask for your reason to do it, Rebekah, but respect the fact that not everybody sees it this way.
I'm on Camino right now, with a massive cold. Now, during the cold months, it's crucial for me, and other pilgrims as well, to be sure that we won't freeze in the night. Some albergues have heating, some have but don't use, some don't have the installation, some simply tell it's warm and instead...
Nooo... smartphone camera doesn't do the job : ) And WHAT IF I will be walking after sunset? I got my friend hit by a car in Spain (not on Camino though), he died. I don't have rain pants, what are these? Waterproof pants? I thought about bringing a tote bag, so it can be used as a pillow cover...
Thanks a lot guys, I'm waiting for more people to say their opinion. Here is a little explanation:
- I hate washing my stuff by hand and I hate sleeping in everyday clothes (I guess it's just a personal hygene obsession thingie). Besides, I believe that during rainy days things will not dry as...
Hello! So, I still have 3 days to go, It's my first Camino, I'm not packed yet, but I made a packlist. I'll try to make it 6,5 kgs. I don't feel like I need to buy all the fancy gear, NASA-approved backpacks and underwear made of chin hair of a very rare Mongolian goat, but maybe you have some...
I definetely have no budget for taxis, but on the other hand, the formalities at the airport will be short, since I'm a EU citizen... I think I will take the train at 21.10. Thanks for help (So, there is no direct connection from Biarritz to SJPP? I would think that there should be...)
