Thanks Davey! We are definitely going to stick with the Camino Frances, but might take alternative routes if we are feeling adventurous! Very much looking forward to it. Only a week to go...
Buen camino to you!
This is very informative. Thank you for sharing your experience.
We haven't even booked accommodation in Biarritz thinking we could just wing that one.
So, we will have to prebook two days in advance to secure accommodation for this time of the year. Thanks for the heads-up! Much appreciated...
THANK YOU SCOTT!
Have printed this info out to bookmark it in my Camino guide.
We are into scenic rewarding routes, so this is very helpful.
Buen camino to you!
Oh wow! That does sound stressful, especially after a long trek to get there.
Sorry for the noob question, but can one reserve an bed at an albergue via the internet or do we have to call? Or is this an air bnb scenario for Logrono?
THIS is what i'm afraid of. There will be a festival when we arrive in Logrono if my calculations are correct. We will want to avoid this as we are not here to 'partay' as the kids says these days....haha
Thank you for sharing your experience. Sounds like a lovely trip you had. How did you find the accommodation? Just walked in and asked about vacancies? Any bedbugs issues?
From my research and speaking to various camino travellers, the general consensus is that accommodation can be very crowded. Although I'm aware that it will depend on the season. September is still warm from what I can see from the weather report, so i suspect it will still have a 'buzz' about...
Just noticed that you have completed seven compostelas in three years - congrats on the achievements! Clearly an addict! :)
Thank you for the suggestions, I have made a note of it in case we do want to wander off and incorporate another route. Although having read threads after threads all day...
Ohhh...that would be awesome if we partake in the festivities in Logrono. Will definitely try to get there by 22 September. We head off on the 13 September. Doable, right? :)
Hello!We land in Biarritz from Paris. If accommodation is more reasonable, then we should get to Bayonne. Taxi? Bus?
We are definitely on a budget. Exchange rates from Aussie to Euro is shocking! haha
Hello Fellow Pilgrims,
We will begin our first ever Camino walk in two weeks. We were wondering after crossing the Pyrenees, whether there are alternative routes that we can take to avoid huge crowds on the Camino Frances?
We would like to connect back to the Frances Route later on, but would...
Hola!
Can anyone recommend accommodation in Biarritz? We will be spending the night only and hope to leave for SPP to begin our Walk the next day.
Thank you!
