  1. GettingThere

    Abandoned elderly pilgrims

    Wee-ell... not always! I have walked the Camino Francés three times with my mother, and on two of those trips she (age 79 and then 81) was considerably faster than me (aged 48 then 50)! I would be trudging along and she'd be disappearing around the next bend, probably chatting away to someone...

    LIVE from the Camino Héctor Walks His Way-Week 2

    Ohhh I remember that bell! Every 15 minutes wasn't it, or my memory may be exaggerating. Often, anyway! All. Through. The. Night. We were VERY grateful for the easy terrain the next day!

    LIVE from the Camino Héctor Walks His Way

    Héctor, this kind of thing can be really upsetting, I know. If you feel you need a shorter day or a rest, I would encourage you to try to do that. Booking.com seems to be showing 3 places with availability for the 15th in Cizur Mayor. Alternatively could you stay another night in Pamplona and...

    Pack transport from Santiago

    From what I can see, both Correos and Jacotrans (at least) list Airas Nunes as a pickup location on their online booking system. Usually with a door code setup the transport providers have an arrangement with the hotel, they'll have their own code they can use. You shouldn't have a problem...

    Upcoming 1st trial 3 days SJPDP to Pamplona in late September

    Yep, that's what I said in my post (I thought). Sorry if I was unclear, @ZoeyCat . I also assumed the train you booked was from CDG airport, which would require a change in Bordeaux if traveling on to Bayonne, as the departure time is only 3 hours after your flight arrives. If you are planning...

    Upcoming 1st trial 3 days SJPDP to Pamplona in late September

    Bordeaux would also be fine for an overnight. The advantage of Bayonne is you're that much closer to your destination for the following day. A lot of people in this forum have recommended Hotel Côte Basque in Bayonne, just across from the train station and has been reasonably priced, although i...

    Upcoming 1st trial 3 days SJPDP to Pamplona in late September

    @ZoeyCat you might want to check your plans for the train trip. You have bought a ticket to Bordeaux, which is quite some distance from your starting point of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port (the train station in Bordeaux is called Bordeaux Saint Jean - a different place altogether). You will need to...

    New Camino Movie -The Way My Way - World Premiere

    Yes! Opens here on May 16th. I saw the trailer when at the cinema recently, it looks like it will be a good one.

    Do you need to stay at an albergue to access their luggage transfer service?

    Bag transfer services can collect from all types of accommodation, not just albergues. Check with the transfer services whether they will pick up from your accommodation - or with the accommodation provider. There are several such services, eg Correos, the Spanish postal service, see...

    Life-size Bronze Statues

    I love the ones in Burgos, just doing everyday things. This is my favorite.

    stopping in Uterga

    I've stayed twice at Albergue Camino del Perdon and highly recommend it.
  13. GettingThere

    A long (winding) road.

    Heading towards Los Arcos, CF, September 2017 (grape harvest!)

    trailhead in Lorca Spain

    For the sake of completeness I feel I should add that there is a Camino route through Lorca in Murcia, the Ruta del Argar, but the OP did mention they are heading for the Camino Francés.

    trailhead in Lorca Spain

    @CaminoFitz - just in case you didn't know, there are two places in Spain called Lorca, a long way apart! Make sure you're heading to the right one. I only mention this because the Lorca which has a train station (Lorca in Murcia) is not the one on the Camino Francés (Lorca in Navarra). If you...

    Are you a hiker or a walker?

    This may be my favourite Forum post of all time!

    🚄 New high speed train Madrid Oviedo

    Generally trains are only listed 1-2 months ahead. You may see the odd one longer ahead than that, but mostly the bookings (and therefore trains listed) are not released until a month or two before travel dates. Timetables don't change a lot though, so you can get an idea of the times for your...

    Menu del dia - options to customize?

    @JustJack my Camino buddy on three Caminos (my mother) is vegetarian and likes salads, and always ordered them without tuna (sin atún). This never even raised an eyebrow, it was no problem. She just asked for the "ensalada mixta sin atún, por favor", if ensalada mixta was on the menu (I don't...

    possible town to stop in between Los Arcos and Najera

    Another vote for Viana and Navarrete. We stopped at both, they are both very pleasant towns. Mind you, we stopped at Logroño as well - we're not fast walkers!
