    Accommodation June 2024; need to pre-book?

    Hello everyone. I know that pre-booking accommodation has been discussed many, many times, so apologies but I wanted to be quite specific. We are walking from Irún to Bilbao in the first week of June 2024 so no holidays to avoid and hopefully not quite peak season but could still be busy. I have...

    Irún to Bilbao. How many walking days? Any unmissable experiences?

    Kaixo! I walked the Camino Francés a couple of years ago and had the time of my life. I have finally found time to return to the Camino, or at least a section of it, and decided to walk from Irún to Bilbao in June with some friends. I gather that this is one of the most spectacular weeks on any...

    Best shoes for Irún to Bilbao stretch; trail runners or walking boots?

    Apologies firstly because I know how much this debate comes up and I am certainly a trail runners advocate. However, I understand that Irún to Bilbao is one of the most physically demanding sections of any Camino route, with mud often being an obstacle. Planning on walking from Irún to Bilbao in...

    Best book for my friends who aren't familiar with the Camino?

    Irún to Bilbao in March or October or wait for another window?

    SJPP to Santiago in 30 days?

    Hi everyone. I was supposed to leave for Biarritz tomorrow but sadly, there has been a family emergency and I am thinking of postponing a few days. At the moment, I believe that I can start walking my Camino on the 2nd of October. I need to be on a flight home on the 3rd of November at the...

    Alternatives for evening footwear, including autumn/winter

    I was going to bring a pair of sliders for my evening footwear, as something to wear for the shower, in the albergues and around town. Would I be better off bringing a pair of lightweight trainers (instead)? My feet get cold quite easily and if anything happened to my trail runners, my sliders...

    3 weeks in October. Where to start? Which route to take?

    Hi everyone. A bit of a timeless question and one I've seen before. I have 3 weeks (21 days, maybe 22 to be precise) of walking starting in early October and I'm wondering what might be the best route for me. I am reasonably fit, 28 years old but it would by my first ever Camino. 1) Burgos to...
