    How to explore Basque Coast (Bayonne, Anglet, Biarritz, Saint Jean de Luz, Hendaye stretch) before Irun?

    Pilgrim rubbish left at Fisterra - video

    I don't know how many fines would be handed out or how often people leave their stupid things and burn gear and shoes in Finestere. Haven't been there in a few years. But maybe there are so many idiots that continue this practice that the added security would pay for itself. Fine them up the...

    Brierley Errors in Invierno Guide

    Yes his daughter has taken over and will continue his fine work. As you and others have said, once aware a correction will be made. People, editors and printers do make mistakes. Yes there is a huge difference between the true ascent and what is in the book but the sky will not fall because of...

    Compostela: Electric Bikes Excluded?

    There was absolutely nothing that the poster said about e-bikes that were incorrect regarding speed, size and weight. Many Americans have rightly been called arrogant and thinking our opinion and ways are the only right ones and manyhave often shown an obnoxious air of superiority. You have...

    Compostela: Electric Bikes Excluded?

    You are right many motorists are bad drivers but for the most part they are on a road whizzing by you not on the Camino path. (Yes I know there are some places that you are next to a motorist but not that many kilometers all together).

    Recent Smelly Pilgrim Test

    Last November was a great test for my Merino top (it was like 70% merino and 30% who knows what). I had bought it about 4 years ago and have worn it many times. Almost daily on my caminos. As many of you know it rained like a mother on the Coastal CP and in Galicia last November. Every day it...

    How many left Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port on 1 May?

    I read this thread and I don't get why some people were giving a bunch of S%+T to the moderator on such a benign subject. Give it a break boys. It isn't that big a deal.

    Compostela: Electric Bikes Excluded?

    I for one and this opinion is only I. I am personally happy that a compostela will not be awarded to people on E bikes. There are things all of us would like to do but because of lack of ability, age, intelligence, education, money, etc etc etc will never accomplish. To me giving a compostela to...

    Advice Requested on Hiking to Fatima from Lisboa via the Camhino Português

    I will re-listen to those podcasts. Is the do Mar an "official" camino route. Is recognized a better word? Are there albergues, markings, expensive?, Can you break down stages to less than 25K a day? I am a budget pilgrim. I try to stay in municipals or donativos wherever possible. I eat most...

    Beds in First Stage Albergues - Current Situation, late May 2024

    Beds are like the weather. Except even more so. You can't predict what the weather was like today because it was hot or cold or rainy or sunny today and you are walking in that same area in 3 days. Because there are 50 beds available one day it doesn't mean there will be 50 available beds the...

    December camino

    Yes it is colder but as I am sure you know once you begin to walk within minutes you warm up. I would say when there is alot of snow on the ground if you are on paths that are really rocky try to find a parallel road that is nearby. For example the walk down from Cruz de Faro. Definitely have...

    Is 5 days in Finisterre a bad idea?

    I was looking at the affordable La Coruna guide and the photo of the beach and shoreline looks like the twin of the beach and shoreline in San Sebastian!

    Prices on Gronze for rooms

    I knew you were and it seems everyone in the thread was referring to bookings and pensions/hoste;s/hotels. Just wanted to let those people looking for albergues to have the info that I have seen. Thanks

    La Virgen del Camino albergue reopens today

    Thanks David. Both of these albergues show they are open in Gronze. Another question. As many know the albergue in Ane has been an issue with pilgrims never knowing if it is open or closed or even when Gronze shows open pilgrims seem to arrive to a closed albergue. Now Gronze shows it as closed...

    Prices on Gronze for rooms

    Albergue prices are pretty close to correct in Gronze and in albergues if it is off it is just a Euro or 2.

    Camino Frances 2024 Biker/Walker Accident

    This is not sarcastic or a judgement or anything other than my own ignorance but what do you mean by the above statement. Just curious. If it is a science or math expression please tell me simply. Your audience is a man who couldn't help his kids with their math homework after the 5th grade!

    Salvadorana, Saturday/sunday

    Sorry the next post is from me as I never had heard of a Salvadorana before. Interesting. I will google it just to see what it looks like. I have my compostelas, the one from Muxia and Finesterre and one year I went to that museum with some other pilgrims (is it in Sahagun) and got that half way...
