I made it home, my bag didn't so far, but should be here in a couple of days. These small annoyances aside, I had a great camino, when I manage to process it a little bit, I might share my expereince and ideas on the forums. Thanks againn for the tips!

And update from me - booked a flight from A Coruña. The flight was overbooked, so I had to stay another day, finally was able to fly today, only to find out on arrival that they lost my checked bag in Madrid... 😀 so, yeah, flying from A Coruña helped, but not that much.

I haven't booked my flights yet, I'm still about a week from Santiago. I'm just wondering how exactly the strike works - delayed flights? Canceled flights? Is it worth it booking on those days at all, or should I just kick it up a notch and fly home on the 15th? 😉
From my recent experience, if the weather doesn't allow any views, the really isn't anythning worthwhile on the Napoleon Route - just a lot of climbing, cold, and slight misery :)
Hello,
I'd appreciate any advice on where to buy an electronic cigarette liquid in Leon - I restocked in Burgos, but probably will run out before Santiago. A quick Google search doesn't show any dedicated vaping ships in Leon, but I figured some of you might know a place one could buy some...
I do. I know :)
It's just the pre-camino nerves. Thank you :)
Hi Jarrad. Mi name is Michal and I guess we are quite alike :D
Thanks, it will be fine, I guess you can not not have a bed and have bedbugs at the same time, right? :D
I did, good information, thank you!
Yes, "start on a tuesday...
Yes, I booked the first few nights, so no park benches at least until after Pamplona for me :) I'm just curious what I'm heading into, I guess the pre-travel overthinking mode is firmly on :)
Thanks,
Michal
Hello,
I would be grateful for some advice from the ones of you who are walking/have recently walked from SJPdP :)
1 - How busy is the first part of the camino right now? I read some reports of a busy beginning of the season, but plenty of beds all around - is it still the case?
2 - re Covid -...
Hi Claire,
I was unsure about that before my first camino as well. I'm just a bit older than you, but had some minor knee issues before, and decided to play it safe and get some walking poles for the walk. It was the best decision I made in quite a while - I'm not sure I would have been able to...
Thank you all. I'll go the way the people in Pilgrim's office/my common sense advise, but it's great to know that whatever way I happen to walk, the scenery is going to be great :)
And, it's an amazing thing that there is a place on the internet, where one can get numerous pieces of personal...
From what I've heard, the dirt trail might be especially unsafe in poor weather conditions - muddy, slipery, etc. I also like to avoid unnecesarry risks, so if I have any doubts when I reach the top, I'll opt for the tarmac road as well. If the weather is nice and I feel good and fresh though, I...
To be perfectly honest, I'm more worried about the "up" part than the "down"one.... :) But I am aware of the alternative that @trecile mentioned, if my knees feel iffy on that day.
Yes, that's the site I've been watching dayily for the last week. The one that shows a temperature drop "just...
I noticed your thread just after posting mine :) Yes, these don't look like very pleasant walking conditions, but it does not look too "unsafe", either....
I definitely will, and will respect their advice - just wondering if they will be able to provide definite information the day before I...
Hello again,
starting next tuesday from SJPdP, and looking for a bit more advice. The weather forecast is not as optimistic as I would have liked, and from what I saw, there is snow on top of the mountains again, as of today. I still hope for it to clear until monday, and to be able to walk the...
