    Keeping Motivation for Pre-Camino Walking/Training.

    I walk my dog twice a day and then do a couple of steep hilly walks each week. One with the dog and one solo. Once a week I walk with my walking group. My motivation for training comes from knowing that if I am walking fit then I will enjoy my Camino even more, during the Covid period there were...

    Transportation from SJPDP to Orrison

    Yes, that would definitely be doable. Just let Express Bouriccot know that you would like to be picked up at Orisson rather than La Vierge. When we used the service we got picked up at La Vierge but then stopped at Orisson to pick some other people up.

    Transportation from SJPDP to Orrison

    We used Express Bourricot on our 2019 Camino. We are from Australia and did not want to push too much on our first day after such long travel days. We booked for the two of us from Australia and paid them once we got to SJPdP. They were brilliant. On the second day they collected us from our...

    Luggage Transfer Options on the Camino Frances

    We used Correos from Roncesvalles to Santiago and at that time 2019 they were the most reasonably priced and they never missed a beat. Our luggage was always at our accommodation before we were.

    Accommodation Recommendations in Leon for Solo Female Traveler

    We also stayed at Hospederia Monastica Pax in Leon. It was in a great location and the staff were really helpful. The Paradors are also wonderful as others have described. Buen Camino.🌹

    When do most pilgrims feel like quitting the Camino de Santiago?

    Thank you for your question. My friend and I walked the Camino Frances from SJPdP to SdC in mid September 2019. We had never done a multiple day walk of any kind before. We trained on all types of terrain a few months prior. We had our backpacks transported as I have a total hip replacement and...

    Beginning my preparations - Why? Where? How? etc.

    Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and letting us know of your future plans. Exploration and research of my Camino Frances in 2019 really was an absolute pleasure and has become part of the love I have for all things associated with hiking, Caminos, meditation etc. etc. I believe we...

    No Blisters!!

    We are all unique, being blister free is a combination of shoes, socks and immediate attention to any hot spot (once you have found The Combination for You just walk with it).

    No Camino for me now🥲🥲

    Wishing you a full recovery. Whilst very disappointing for you and painful (literally) the Camino will be waiting for you. Hugs🤗

    Recommended Shoes

    Perfecto❣️ It’s all about what works for you. Buen Camino to you. My only warning as some others may have already said - you will love it, but Caminos are extremely addictive. 🤣

    LIVE from the Camino Via Francigena- Lucca to Rome

    Buon Cammino Chrissy. I will be very interested in any feedback you have to offer. My BFF and I are planning to do some sections of the VF in 2023. The section from Lucca to Rome is one of the sections we will be doing in September . Like you and your son we will be pre-booking accommodation...

    Recommended Shoes

    The advice here is gold. I have walked one Camino - the Frances from SJPdP to SdC in Autumn 2019. I bought my shoes a size larger than I would normally wear. I wear good Merino wool socks. I trained with my backpack - on concrete/asphalt pavements and gravel, both steep and flat. As I live...

    Do and Don'ts on the Airplane

    I have scrolled through all the posts. Yes, all these things do happen and I always appreciate the flight attendants. One aspect of flying - long or short haul (and I am Australian) that I find really annoying is when someone falls asleep and rests their head on your shoulder. Yes, it has...

    Camino awesome, Santiago not so much

    Firstly, Ian - what a fantastic achievement. We are all unique - no one else will experience the Camino, your Camino exactly the same as you. It has taken me many years to realise - it is what it is - sometimes you have to let things slide like water off a ducks back. You get what you focus on...

    Coping with change after Sarria - wisdom needed please

    Barbara - thank you for your post. You have brought back many memories for me of my 2019 Camino. Yes, it was much more populated from Sarria onwards. Sometimes there were very noisy groups, people who dragged their walking poles (no rubber tips on them). We would stop for a cafe con leche, walk...

    Can You Do It?

    Interesting questions - I didn’t ask myself one of them. I wanted an adventure and asked my best friend if she was interested on doing a walk together. I thought trekking in the Himalaya. She suggested the Camino - which I had never heard of. I didn’t ask the questions but I found this forum...
