    Cost update

    In recent years we have always had private rooms (pre-booked) and with a meal in a restaurant and other things, e.g. drinks, we spent an average of €100/day

    Albergue in Canfranc is closed

    It is not surprising that more and more ‘donativo’ hostels are closing, it is the pilgrims themselves who are to blame and donativo translated with free of charge and believe they can/must walk the Camino at the expense of others.

    Via De La Plata in March 2025

    Nobody knows what the weather will be like. I started in Seville last week in February 2010, had almost nothing but rain until Salamanca and temperatures often below 10 degrees. So it was no fun in the unheated hostels and almost impossible to dry your clothes. So be prepared for everything...

    “All” Albergues on the Camino Frances in one pdf

    Ivar, I think the information on Borda is not correct. In my opinion (and my visit) they do not have bunk beds. They have three rooms, each with 4 single beds, well separated from each other, and one double room, so 14 beds in total

    Booking accommodation on the Camino Francés

    In order not to be forced to walk further after the planned 15-20km at well over 70, I have pre-booked all my overnight stays in 2022 SjpdP - Burgos, 2023 Burgos - Astorga and 2024 Astorga - SdC, preferably via Booking, with the option of cancelling the reservation until shortly beforehand...

    Best Time of Year to Walk Madrid Camino

    In December, I don't think it will be possible to walk Cercedilla - Segovia due to a lot of snow at over 1800 metres above sea level. However, you can easily avoid this long stage by taking the railway

    Cathedral Tours - Language Translation "Hack"

    Stages on the Madrid?

    From Cercedilla to Segovia, the way climbs to over 1800 metres (I beleave the highest point of all spanish caminos) above sea level. The route (+-30km) is very long and strenuous and there is probably no reliable overnight accommodation in between. I walked the Madrid route at the end of April...

    Taxi from Astorga to Foncebadón

    at the bus station, are allways taxis available

    Hiking poles in Canadian Airports - Any issues in 2024?

    I don't understand this discussion. Hundreds of dollars are spent on flights, thousands on the whole Camino and then people haggle over whether they have the money, can/should check in their luggage with their walking sticks (and knives) :-(

    Ride share Shuttle from Biarritz Airport to SJPdP Sept. 11th, 2024

    At this time of day you can still get to SJPDP by train via Bayonn without stress and for a fraction of the price

    private albergues cancelling reservations

    I have also pre-booked all my overnight stays this year. Where possible via Booking.com, but also some via Whatsapp and email. I always wrote to the last two a day or two before and announced my arrival (and always got a reply) All perfect

    Money on the Camino

    On this year's Camino, Astorga - Santiago, I again paid a good 75% by credit card. However, I never paid with the card itself, but with my mobile phone. This is safer, as I have to legitimise myself with my fingerprint before paying and my real credit card details are not transmitted when I pay...

    El Ganso Earlier Today

    I stayed in the nearby Pension at the end of May and ate a small snack in the bar in the evening. Everything was fine for me.
