    Where to walk for 10 days in May?

    On here you’ll be told not to book ahead as a ’real’ pilgrim should sleep in communal areas. There are plenty of other pilgrims who don’t do this for many reasons. I can recommend’Walk the Camino’ but there are many others. enjoy your trip 😁

    Camino Ingles next week!

    You can’t miss the McDonalds on the way through SdC. Unusually it seems to have a kind of gym attached 🤭

    Seeking travel advice for UK to Biarritz trip in Spring 2024

    Express Bourricot, based in SJPdP, will collect you from Biarritz airport into SJ for a very reasonable price, dependent on numbers.

    Getting back to Biarritz from Burgos

    I got the bus from Burgos to Madrid T4 this week. There were actually 2 buses running at the same time and they were both full. So book in advance which is easy online. The free shuttle bus to T1 is straightforward. Best

    Leonardo Da Vinci in Burgos Cathedral (?)

    Thanks Bradypus. It is an intriguing picture regardless of provinence. I toured the Cathedral today and it’s not mentioned in the commentary. So hardly anyone gave it a second look amongst so much artistry. 😀

    Leonardo Da Vinci in Burgos Cathedral (?)

    There’s a portrait in a side chapel in Burgos Cathedral that’s said to be by Da Vinci. As it’s not displayed securely, this seems unlikely. I’m sure someone on here will know. Thanks

    Serving as Hospitalera in Logroño!

    The Santiago el Real is a church. The bishop was leading that service coincidentally. The Cathedral is about 400 metres away. 😀

    Starting El Camino Ingles on the 10th of September 2023 from Ferrol

    My wife and I did the Ingles in June and there was plenty of people to meet. As there are limited rest stops you meet the same people at them. As said, they were mostly Spanish. I think the locals are avoiding the busy route from Sarria.

    Serving as Hospitalera in Logroño!

    Yes it was led by a bishop so I knew it was special. Didn’t understand most of the speeches 😆. But the main choir was special too 😀

    Serving as Hospitalera in Logroño!

    Well that was the longest pilgrims mass yet. 90 minutes. And the promised pilgrims blessing didn’t happen. Sorry to have missed you. Best

    Lucca to Altopascio

    I found the route from here more expensive than expected as many of these stages end in tourist destinations, often uphill at the end of the day 😀. Please keep letting us know your thoughts 👍

    Advice please

    I’ve done 4 caminos and used Walk the Camino 3 times very satisfactorily for me as I don’t want to share a room. I don’t use baggage transfer as I’m used to carrying a rucksack. You won’t meet as many close friends as they swap phone numbers in shared dormitories early on. But you will meet lots...

    3436 Compostelas today - pretty busy!

    Finished the Inglese last week. My fourth Camino so not bothered about a Compostela but my wife’s first. She was in and out of the pilgrims office in about 5 minutes 😀

    Some questions (paving, language, guides)

    1. I’m on the VF just now, having reached Radicofani. I started in Lucca. There’s been thunderstorms most afternoons and so some paths were very muddy and thick, particularly the 2 days before Siena. That might be seasonal. 2. Enough people speak enough English that it isn’t a problem. The...
