    Excellent news!

    Finisterre to Santiago - Monday May 8, 2023

    I used the app BlaBlaCar, which is a ride share service that is very cheap if a local Spaniard happens to drive between your desired locations. It seems some Spanish commuters use this app to make some extra money, and it’s a brilliant idea. It’s like a community version of Uber. Just make sure...

    Finisterre to Santiago - Monday May 8, 2023

    Alternatively, I found a private transport option from Finisterre to Santiago on Tuesday May 10 at 8am for 70 euro, if anyone would like to split that (up to 6 people) .

    Finisterre to Santiago - Monday May 8, 2023

    Hola! Just completed the Frances, and planned to take a bus today to Finesterre, however due to the bus strike tomorrow it’s not possible to come back on Monday. Looking for any last minute pilgrims that could split the cost of a taxi from Finesterre to Santiago on May 8. I would prefer to leave...

    How to board French SNCF TER train with no train number

    I'm taking the SNCF TGV INOUI 8585 from Lourdes to Dax at 17:00 tomorrow (4/9), then the SNCF TER 866433 from Dax to Bayonne, then the SNCF TER 867331 from Bayonne to St-Jean-Pied-de-Port. All booked via Trainline. I read I should be looking for the train number at the stations to find the...

    Easter Travel and late check-in help

    Good point. I read elsewhere on the forum that since this is early in the "season" albergues should have plenty of vacancy but perhaps not. Thanks for the advice, you are right that I probably want the peace of mind of booking ahead elsewhere. However, April 9th will be the end of Semana Santa...

    Easter Travel and late check-in help

    Yes this appears to be the only option after my Lourdes arrival at 10:15AM, so I plan to take it.

    Easter Travel and late check-in help

    Good point, so I tried the site in native French as well with same results :(

    Easter Travel and late check-in help

    Ah, sorry I used a bad example here, of course you are correct and thanks for confirming the link provided was not valid. Since the website auto-completes the departure and arrival destinations, I am also selecting SJPP and Lourdes from the dropdown menus, but no luck. Doesn't matter if I select...

    Easter Travel and late check-in help

    Thank you, but that is a different tab of a complete different website (not sncf-connect) where I was experimenting and is not related to the screenshot of the error message. The error in the screenshot is the result of the link provided by @SabsP above, which suggests the site is working for...

    Easter Travel and late check-in help

    Thanks for the info. When I open this link I see an error once again as shown in the screenshot. Not sure why this site is not working for me, I tried several browsers etc.

    Easter Travel and late check-in help

    I will be arriving at the Lourdes airport on April 9th around 10AM, and would like to travel to SJPDP the same day, aka Easter Sunday. Given my lack of experience with travel, not to mention the Camino, I would greatly appreciate some insight on the following: Trains - I found other threads...

    Taxi from Lourdes to SJPDP 10 April 2023

    @PaoloM I will be arriving in Lourdes on April 9th and plan to take a train to SJPDP, but since April 9th is Easter Sunday it seems the trains do not run that day, so I will also leave for SJPDP on April 10th. Maybe we will cross paths

    Water bottle tube adapter availability in Europe

    Glad to hear it's working for you, I've had fairly bad luck with Aliexpress products in general so I was hesitant to order more gear from there but this is a good sign thanks.

    Water bottle tube adapter availability in Europe

    Thanks for the tips, feel silly that I didn't think of Amazon Spain/UK/etc. Decathlon is great and I will get my poncho and some other gear there post arrival. I currently have a bladder, which has its use cases, but I generally prefer bottles for a couple of reasons: - much easier to tell how...

    Water bottle tube adapter availability in Europe

    Would like to leverage this type of water system vs a bladder on the Frances starting from SJPDP on April 10, but I cannot acquire one before I leave the US. Can such a thing be purchased in Spain post arrival? I will be in Europe for 2 weeks prior to starting the Camino, so if I could order...

    When It Rains It Pours?

    @trecile Is the Altus poncho weight listed somewhere? I can't seem to find it and would like to compare the Altus Large against the Decathlon version. Thanks!
