    Sending luggage to Casa Ivar from St Jean

    Sorry if the answer is here and I’ve missed it. We started our first Camino at La Laguna and we had sent luggage early on from Barcelona to Casa Ivar in Santiago with Correos. It was perfect. We think we will start our next way at St Jean and will likely get there from within France. We...

    Overwhelmed, grateful, still slightly dazed….

    Our Camino went by too quickly and I can‘t believe the me that was asking for help and advice such a short time ago is home on the other side of the experience . Thank you so much to everyone who have helped and supported us and others on this forum, you are all amazing. We started our...

    Where to Buy Prepaid SIM in Leon?

    Hi all. Sorry to not do a thorough search of threads, it been a rather busy couple of days and I’m ever so slightly jet-lagged (it’s after 2am in NZ 😊). We did our last minute shopping in Barcelona today but the only place we could find advertising “Orange“ was a wee shop I just didn’t feel...

    Wishing everyone well. I am thoughtful, grateful and just a little nervous 😊

    It feels like all of a sudden, after nine months of planning and dreaming - we are six days (OMG!) from flying from Tauranga via Auckland to Barcelona and from there starting our first Camino from La Laguna. We are excited to walk this ancient trail and make new memories together, an old married...

    Approximate delivery time please? - suitcase from Barcelona to Casa Ivar

    Memorial markers on the Camino de Santiago

    I have a token that I think I need to put down and walk away from. We will join the CF after the Cruz de Ferro. Is there a place similar on the way to SdC? Or perhaps the place will make itself known? I’m a bit sad tonight for whatever reason but so happy in anticipation of our Camino in May...

    Barcelona/Leon days (how many in each please?) prior to Camino Frances starting in O Cebreiro

    Hi team. Flights booked for May 2023! We are so excited. We walked down our local beach on the weekend getting some miles on our feet and kept seeing little scallop shells of many colours - definitely a sign! We would appreciate some more advice from the wise ones here - thanks in advance 😊...

    Best way to get to Triacastela?

    Hi again folks. We’ve been looking at ways to make the Triacastella start-point work, likely coming from Madrid. Due to flights, etc, we would most likely want to be stepping out from Triacastella early on a Saturday morning. The day doesn’t have to be inflexible, but is preferred. The...

    Requesting some thoughts (re starting point) from experienced pilgrims, please?

    Hi team. Long story behind our decision (as I’m sure we all have right? 😊), but best-husband-in-the-world and I will walk our first Camino in 2023. Firstly, we were planning on starting this one in Sarria but for reasons unknown I‘m drawn to starting in Triacastela. I know there’s beauty in...
