    Carrión de los Condes - floral carpet tomorrow

    We saw a very similar carpet in Sarria in 2017 also for Corpus Christi.

    Variant from Mansilla De Las Mulas to León

    I walked that a couple weeks ago, I have no information on an alternative but it’s not a great section. Walking part of it in the rain didn’t help. A lot of road walking but it’s away from the busiest roads. A day in the life of a Pilgrim 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Albergue San Juan de Ortega -- a question

    I was there less than a month ago. There was no heat (below 0 C overnight), standing water in the toilets/showers and a hospitalero who showed less than zero concern. Those are firsthand and recent facts. In my youth I’d stayed in worse when I had no choice which is why we stayed there on my...

    Help with accommodation on Camino Francés

    Wise Pilgrim was a big help, I just finished and with 1exception, we had few problems. Absolutely call/WhatsApp directly, the Booking message is something like “nothing available on Booking.com” which means their allotted rooms/beds are booked. They also have a message that says something like...

    Entry to Burgos

    Update, apparently the alternate route is open, if you can find it in the construction mess. Someone coming the opposite direction pointed some friends in the correct direction. Good luck!

    Entry to Burgos

    We walked in to Burgos yesterday (April 19) and it appears that the route around the left side of the airport and through the park is currently inaccessible due to construction and at very least it’s very difficult to find. No one we spoke with found an easy walk-around. I suppose you could drop...

    Voice or data only mobile plans

    I’m currently using Holafly eSIM in my iPhone, ATT in the US. I have a 90 day unlimited data plan with 60 mins of tele. I’m using WhatsApp for calls, so far no problems. Leaving from Oloron St Marie on Monday, I’ll update on connections in Spain. So far, I’m pleased. $10 per day on ATT adds up...

    First Camino - Nervous and with questions about the start

    Henrik, Welcome! Your questions are ones we all had on our first Camino. SeñorJacques and others have provided good answers on the logistics and I agree with them. I think many Pilgrims found/find great solice on the Camino, I know that it provided me much needed quiet time. It also provided...

    Charming Camino Vinto Tinto Logo

    Alvaro Palacios and his family make great wine, relatively new to Bierzo but his Priorat’s are wonderful. Les Terrasses, yum.

    Charming Camino Vinto Tinto Logo

    Not to change the subject, varietal or region but, I found this wine here in Dallas for a little over $10 and I was very pleasantly surprised that it reminded me of the better vino tintos found along the CF. If you can find it, I highly recommend you give it a try. Saludos!

    Where to spend a relaxing week post Camino

    Sadly, I spent 2 miserable days in A Coruña after completing the CF the last couple days in June 2017 as a huge storm hit Galicia. It does look like a nice place to wind down, weather permitting. San Sebastián is very nice, great pintxos too. If you want something more subdued, Orio is very nice...

    Your Camino is yours and no one else’s, you go my brother, I’m not far behind you.

    Surprising background of the Alto del Perdon

    “Not necessarily what you want” , well said. Thanks for the continuing education.

    Joyful Camino Memories

    Something about books, covers and judgement comes to mind but I can't remember exactly. What a great story. Thank you for sharing.

    One More Time

    Sorry, O-S-M = Oloron-Sante-Marie is a bit west of Lourdes in France on the Camino Aragones which joins the Camino Francés in Puente la Reina. Thank you for tips on festivals, looking forward to whatever I decide to do.

    Who didn’t???

    Great pic and thanks. My next Camino will begin on the Aragones. Tips?

    Who didn’t???

    The exact same sign, in the same place and each shot is so uniquely different even in their similarity.
