    Confused over date format

    Hello, I have reserved a night in an Albergue and the confirmation says Fecha de entrada: 2024-06-05. In the UK we would write this as 05-06-2024, is that what this means, 5th June 2024, I am just checking as I think the USA write it differently. Of course I could email the Albergue but I...

    Train Discounts over 60s

    I have just popped my Targeta Dorada (Golden Ticket) in my packing box. They cost €12 and cannot be bought online, but can be renewed online. If journeying too or from the Camino on Spanish trains it could be worth buying, I think mine paid for itself first journey.

    Frances or Norte, the social aspect

    Hi, I am starting my Camino early June, and the one thing I do not want to do is over think this, as at the end of the day, it is "just*" a walk, get up walk, and repeat. So KISS, keep it simple stupid. I have booked a flight to Bordeaux and was set on the Frances, however from what I am reading...
