Thanks to those who just gave a little ring to let me know you wanted to pass. But those idiots that thought it was ok not to show consideration and slow down and give a warning why don't you use the road. Especially the guy with an air horn that scared...
Just returned from Leon to SDC April May 2014
I took 16 days to walk this section mainly due to a few short days due to terrible rain and early on I walked a few short days. Overall I would highly recommend this section to anyone looking to walk 2 weeks as it has a varied terrain and lots of...
Hi Michelle
I stayed at that albergue 3 nights ago and it was awesome. Christina cooks an amazing meal and provides spotless accomodation.
Can I also recommend the last albergue in Rabanal at the monastery. By donation , lovely gardens and close to restaurants.

Look in the cycling section of this forum to find bike hire recommendations.

Previously walked to Burgos from St Jean in April May 2013 and planning to restart in Burgos. I could have done so but time constraints meant I would always be worried about getting to Santiago with plenty of time to...
Depart Burgos 17 or 18 April depending on jet lag!
Have only 19 walking days which may be tight so may skip a few days ( any suggestions on three or four stages to skip between Burgos and Leon) probably early on so I can still form a Camino family for arrival in SDC.
The other option is start...
Hi all

Walked St Jean to Burgos last year at the same time and loved every minute and of course planned to return and complete my journey from Burgos by foot.
However finding the time needed has been difficult and I have...
