I stayed here last year, first ever experience in a donation, what a first time! They were fantastic enough to allow me to stay a second night die to terribly blistered feet which allowed me to rest enough to continue my Camino to Burgos. Wonderful experience, thanks to pepper and Shokko who...
Pretty sure it's still there 👍🏼 whiskey is the best way to give you energy and keep you warm...... and it certainly improves your singing voice to keep the pace 🤣
I had walking poles delivered to my Hostel in Bayonne this year, all worked out perfectly 👍 also stayed in casa Laura last year, fantastic wee place with lovely, generous hosts! Bom Camino
I have just returned from my Camino and missing it desperately, feeling like it was all a dream so going to enjoy following your journey, definitely Norte for me next, it's beautiful, thanks for sharing 👍
Hi all, I am currently walking the Frances, I have lost my watch which must have caught on my backpack whilst hauling it on and off, the last place I had it was when I stopped in Zariquiegui if anyone happened to find it? It's just a black smart watch, with a picture of my dog on the screen 😁🐾 I...

My worry about the altras is the amount my foot moves around, I have the boots but feel their isn't enough give in the length! The meindl are a bit hard, I also have some walking sandals as an option! I'm the Goldilocks of footwear 🥴
That's great, my french/Spanish is deplorable and I have a strong Scottish accent so that will be an interesting experience haha at least I have time to prepare a script, thanks for all your advice 👍
Ah I see, should I phone ahead for each albergue? This is my first time walking without pre booking, getting braver with age! It's the Saturday I hope to arrive there so good to know about bar/restaurant but will bring supplies to be safe since there's a supermarket at the border.
