Here's the dealeo. 😁 Instead of my usual departure city back to the US of A from Paris. I am now coming home from Barcelona. I've done my due diligence in searching how to get from Logrono to Barcelona. Here's where I need advice, experience, other options?.
I'll be leaving on a Sunday from...
Hola!! In need of some ideas. I'm needing to fill in some time and was wondering, what city/town/village/small village would you spend an extra day/night in and why? Or, someplace special to stay in-between any of the stages between Pamplona and Najera. Thanks so much.
:cool: 👣🌻
Hey everyone 😀 Camino Frances here I come in October, God willing. I’ll start in SJPdP Oct 2 and go as far as Astorga Oct 25, then bus to Santiago before returning home. I’ve read here that albergues and bars start closing in October.
Will I need to walk further on some stages? How would you...
I've watched many videos about the Camino. This one in my opinion is excellent and worth a look. It's full of history I've not seen before and reminded me of why I walk the way. It takes us on a journey that goes way, way back in time to today. I definitely learned something today and will look...
Hola me amigo/a’s 😁 I’ve stayed at Albergue Zaldiko in Zubiri. I’d like to stay someplace else my next go around. Any suggestions in Zubiri? Places to eat?
Also, I’m looking at San Nicolas Albergue in Larrasoana, any reviews from fellow pilgrims who have experienced this place would be much...
I’ve always kept my Camino meals at a minimum (supermarket mostly) with only experiencing a few Pilgrims Menus total on three Camino’s. I’m not a fan of the Pilgrims Menu. I see the Menu del dia mentioned a lot on this forum. I’m curious what kind of foods could I expect to eat when ordering...
What’s going on at the Cruz de Ferro. I saw an Instagram post of a protest that took place this past Sunday, 26 November. Something about route change, moving the cross? Anyone here have details?
Hi all, I'm dreaming of a 2024 (4th) pilgrimage on the CF starting in SJPdP on August 18th, approximately. I know it will be hot, I walked July/August 2019. I'm in the need of not having to pack extra layers because I'll be packing a laptop.
If I start mid August this should get me ahead of...
You’re right, it’s not ideal but I may need to bring a laptop if I want to walk the 800k on the Frances. I’d only need to use it once a week then at month end.
Can anyone share experiences in carrying a laptop? What size? How to pack it? Any info on a lightweight one?
Of course I’d still...
I happened upon a book I’ve not touched in a while. My curiosity lead me to open it just to see what today’s devotional was. I felt compelled to share it. Buen Camino ☺️
August 8
I speak to you from the deepest Heaven. You hear Me in the depth of your being. Deep calls into deep. You are...
Please don’t flog me as I know footwear is a personal preference and it’s been discussed to no end.
I’ve always worn trail runners/hiking shoes which have worked great for my three Camino’s. However, I definitely wouldn’t wear them in the Winter.
I’m clueless when it comes to a hiking boot let...
It seems I'll be living up to my Forum name, God willing. I've walked Spring, Summer and Fall and now well, infant planning stage of a Winter CF Camino 2023/2024. I've come to the conclusion that knowing it will rain/snow results in knowing what to pack. Having to guess if it will rain/snow...
You may be wondering why I am announcing this well, I am about to email San Martin to cancel all eight nights of my reservation because I will not be going on pilgrimage this year, so if anyone is looking to stay in Santiago Sunday, September 18th and any nights through Sunday September 25th may...
Is it possible to bring my pilgrim credential from my first Camino in 2013 to the pilgrims office and request a certificate of distance from it? SJPdP to Santiago. I didn’t think to get it or that it was even a thing back then. 😊
Hello, to all who have run the gantlet at SEATAC can anybody tell me if 40 minutes is enough time to get to my international flight to PORTO..............I can run :)
A bit premature? Perhaps, but I'm a ducks in a row kind of pilgrim at least during the planning stages. My question/concern is. I read on another thread that France is requiring the booster in order to get the COVID pass. As of today February 15, I read that you have to get the booster at least...
Hello all :)
I'm pretty sure I know the answer but I'll ask for any suggestions before I pull the trigger.
Considering the COVID situation and the unknown for September 2022 would you rather fly from and why:
#1 Santiago to Paris for one night before going back to the U.S.
The flight...
September or October on the coastal route from Porto. Which would you choose and why? Or if you’ve walked September how was it weather wise? Same for October. Thanks!
I know and understand weather is unpredictable. I’m asking for preferences and experience. ☺️ I’m planning to start walking...
Hi, I’ve searched but perhaps not enough to find peace of mind for what looks like an upcoming Camino in September 2022. I’ve ordered the guidebook and blocked vacation dates from work so plans are brewing.
Since I wasn’t able to finish del Norte I’d figure I’d walk along the coastal in...
