If everyone walks on the left side of the road, it not only is safer but also helps move car/tractor move faster using the other side of the road.
When people are present on both sides of the road, it is more difficult for cars/tractors to navigate in the middle.
I had a similar experience leaving sjpdp until I got to Pamplona. I think it is about time to start Camino France start from Pamplona rather than sjpdp until people straighten out the mess. Zubiri and Larasona municipal albergues were undergoing restoration, and that was the main problem in...
I passed Zubiri on April 28, and the municipal albergue was closed for renovations, and that caused shortage of beds in town. I think Larasona has the same situation. No idea when the municipal albergue will reopen, but until then the private albergues and the taxis will have very good...
I am trying to help a friend of mine who wants to start from SJPDP in late January. I believe Napoleon Route is closed for the winter.
Questions:

Have you ever noticed the price of Budweiser beer in the stores? It costs as much as other imports. Obviously someone buys, or they would not waste store shelves.
I like Galicia Estellas given a choice, but San Miguel and Mahou are excellent too.
Speaking of beer and wine, which causes you fat more? Are they both equal opportunity offenders?
After walking a month from Santander to do Camino Primitivo, I expected to lose serious amount of weight, but I haven't. I think it is all those beer and wine after the hard walk (hard climbs ) made...
I am sure in 19 days you will be dealing with better weather and more crowd. One of the reasons why they say CdN and CP are more difficult is, in addition to the terrain, not many albergues are available forcing you to walk more than you'd like to. Like anything else in life everything has...
