    Last minute advice for solo traveler

    joramos, in reference to the “AlertCops” app, 5 out of 5 people who reviewed it on the app store complained of not being able to receive a verification/validation code to their US fone numbers. Does it require a Spanish fone #/SIM card/eSIM like airalo, Holafly, Masmovil, etc. to work? Thanks.

    The massacre of a dear resting place.

    Kathar1na, you are totally correct concerning the story about Carnac. My bad for not diving deeper into it before posting my remark. As for the Montes de Oca situation, Aneleraz stated that he, together with his great friend, the since departed "Corzo", were the locals who set up the site. I...

    The massacre of a dear resting place.

    For a donation to his political/personal coffers perhaps? 🤔 Nah, that never happens…

    The massacre of a dear resting place.

    Aneleraz, buenas 🙋🏽‍♂️…entonces, por lo que Ud. dice, ese tipo sí, es un prepotente charlatán, hablador, mitotero, que destruyó ese lugar tan querido por muchos peregrinos. ¿Él es dueño de terrenos por ahí o qué show? ¿Ese güey tiene palancas con los autoridades, y es por eso que él cree que...

    Rethink HOW and WHEN you walk the Francés - strategies for walking during busy times

    November does indeed look like a great time to walk for all of the reasons you mention. Thank you for the vidéo. Buen Camino

    RETHINK walking the Frances

    So, señoritas, señoras y señores “moderadores”, dontcha think it’s time to put this baby to rest? I’m a bit tuckered out from all the back and forth…😵‍💫

    RETHINK walking the Frances

    Well said, Woody66. A very diplomatically delivered response that highlights what this forum is/should be all about - sharing a sense of community between folks who have walked, are currently walking or are, like me, planning a Camino. You (as in “ustedes”) who have so much experience in walking...

    Safety for pre-dawn starts on the Camino Frances

    Very good! Baja is magical, but like all things everywhere, it is changing. San Lucas and San José were sleepy fishing towns when I moved to BCS in ‘96. Now they rival Cancun and the Riviera Maya for the # of turistas visiting and ex-pats moving in, at least part-time. Anyway, we probably...

    Safety for pre-dawn starts on the Camino Frances

    Yeah, I understand @ the latitude difference. I’m from the mid Atlantic region, a few hrs south of NY, and it still gets stinky hot and humid there during the “dog days” of summer. But I assumed (bad move on my part) when folks said heat wave, it meant higher than the 80s. My error 🤷🏽‍♂️ BTW...

    Safety for pre-dawn starts on the Camino Frances

    😳 Seriously? I’m sorry, but all my years in southern Baja has left me jaded temperature-wise. On a typical August 3rd, the low may be 80°F, and I’m talking @5:30 or 6AM🤪

    Hmmm. I haven’t been around the forum very long, but already the suspense is killing me. 🎶Who could it be now.🎶🎶🎶

    Yeah, it is. But, as you say, don’t overdo it.😂

    Safety for pre-dawn starts on the Camino Frances

    Ah, yes, the quintessential time of rest during the hottest part of the day…la siestita. The summers where I live in México are hot - not unusual to have a couple of weeks running of 40C days and 27C nights. One must do as the locals do; get your chores done early before the heat really kicks in...
