    Burgos - I need a poncho ....

    Perhaps they were closed for the holiday. So sorry, but keep trying. There us a great Camino store in Castrojerez run by a rather famous man in his 80's (maybe 90's now).

    Prices on Gronze for rooms

    Yes, as mentioned the owner or responsible party has to update prices and info on Gronze so I always add a couple of Euros for inflation when budgeting. Eventually the price gets updated, but it relies on a humans to make the change.

    LIVE from the Camino Feels Unpleasantly Busy on the Camino Frances (May Day, 2024)

    I do think that timing plays a big role. It's a busy time with several holidays this month. Lots of people who have the time are on the Camino. There are less busy times to walk and I encourage you to consider coming back at one of those less busy times to see if it changes your mind.

    Medication woes

    We ask the pharmacy to print prescription labels which we then put on ziplock bags and dump the pills into the labeled bag. Roll them up like a burrito and secure with a rubber band to save space. My husband also brings little snack bags labeled morning and night and once a week sits down and...

    La Virgen del Camino albergue reopens today

    I think its been open a little while. One of the hospitaleros posted a couple of weeks ago. We also got word in our HosVol bulletin this week that it was added to the list for volunteers.

    Sorry to hear of your troubles. Air travel isn't as fun as it was when I was a kid. Hope you and your bag will make it home together.

    Backpack or just a bag

    Are you staying in albergues or private rooms? In a private room, you will likely have the space for two bags or a backpack and a suitcase. In an albergue you will be dealing with less space. I would not use a suitcase for daily transfer to albergues. They take up more room in already tight...

    Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

    I always encounter at least one epic snorer. Some years several. Sadly many of them have the dangerous kind of snoring with sleep apnea. Last year there was a another lively thread about someone who was very upset about being shaken awake in the night by a fellow pilgrim (no-doubt sleep...
