Portuguese Albergues
Was the bed shortage due to many places being closed until Spring? That would be my guess. I'll be there next week with only Santiago booked.- MEO

Albergues full in Orisson - bad time to start?
Orisson typically books up months in advance. I booked last June for Sept 2022. Rocesvalles is much larger but the earlier you book the better bed location. I booked this one also in June and scored a bed (not a bunkbed) on the top floor with the high ceiling. A guy I met showed up without a...- MEO

Portuguese Camino Coastal Route This May!
The Camino is perfect for your 1st solo traveling experience. You will meet plenty of people but will be able to go at your own pace without having to worry about a partner. I did the Frances last Fall solo and met tons of great people. I've read that the Portuguese Central route has more...- MEO

All About Osprey
I'm a guy using a Skarab 30 for my first Camino Frances next week. I won't be using the H2O bladder that came with it. The size is forcing me to take only essentials. My pack weight will be under 14 lbs before water. I wanted light weight as well a bag that is carry-on size for any airline...- MEO

Advice on getting from Pamplona to St. Jean Pied de Port
I had the same question as I arrive in Pamplona by train on 9/5 at 6:30PM. From my research, that 1 bus and taxis are just about our only options. Since I arrive so late, I decided to stay in Pamplona rather than SJPP for the 1st night. That way I'll have a better chance finding someone to share...- MEO
