    Options: what to do after arriving in Santiago

    Thank you, yes it's been an absolutely incredible journey and I feel so grateful my knee has not only held out, but its barely given me a twinge! (Perhaps I shouldn't tempt fate so close to the end 😆). The advice I got here, from my physio, and a little help from KT tape has made my Camino...

    Options: what to do after arriving in Santiago

    It sounds lovely! I'm not sure I have time to walk from Santiago to Muxia without feeling a but rushed, but now I'm contemplating getting a bus to Finisterre (if there is one on sunday) walking to Muxia and staying a couple of nights there to relax, swim, and decompress before heading home on...

    Options: what to do after arriving in Santiago

    Good shout! I knew it was coming but had it in my head as the 23rd (tomorrow). I'd love to be in Muxia or another coastal spot for that, I have found memories of a very raucous San Juan night down on the Almeria coast many moons ago. But I'm a day shy this time.

    Options: what to do after arriving in Santiago

    Hi all, I've been walking the Camino Frances from SJPP since 18th May and I'm due to arrive in Santiago on either Saturday or Sunday. My flight home is at noon on Thursday, so I'll have a few days to play with. I've walked other caminos previously and have no real desire to hang around Santiago...

    Getting from Bordeaux Airport to SJPP late arrival

    Awesome, thank you! I have emailed the Refuge in Bayonne, and will let you know if they get back to me before Friday :) I've just booked the train from Bordeaux to Bayonne (arriving 7:18pm) and the morning train to SJPP so I can begin walking on the 18th. Both Orisson and Borda are indeed...

    Getting from Bordeaux Airport to SJPP late arrival

    Hi Pelerina, thank you so much for this, you've answered pretty much all of my questions in one post! 🙏 🙂 Based on this I'll pre-book my train from Bordeaux to Bayonne and plan to stay the night in Bayonne. It's really kind of you to offer to reserve for me at Refuge Saint Jaques when you visit...

    Getting from Bordeaux Airport to SJPP late arrival

    Hi all, I've been trying to figure out the best plan for getting from Bordeaux Airport to SJPP. I land at 15:10 on 17th May. I know there are frequent trains to Bayonne, but I'm trying to figure out if I can make it to SJPP by evening time, before everything closes, or if I should book a hostel...

    Knee pain...help!

    Thank you very much everyone for your helpful advice and for sharing your experiences. I managed to see a physical therapist on Monday who has been great. He suspects I originally had a grade 2 ankle sprain in my right ankle that weakened the ligaments and caused me to overuse my left knee on my...

    Knee pain...help!

    Thank you, this is very reassuring to read and some very good advice here. I'm going to find some videos and get practicing with my poles straight away. I'm also going to try and book in with a physio somewhere this week, and will get as much advice from them and the chiropractor as possible...

    Knee pain...help!

    You've given me a few things to think about here, thank you! As for the poles, I have some this year for the first time, but I hadn't thought to watch videos on how to actually use them 😅...this is very good advice! I also hadn't considered starting a little further along but this could be an...

    Knee pain...help!

    Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply 🙂 I'll definitely look into the KT, I'm willing to try anything that helps, placebo or not! Also I'm going to contact a physio ad see if I can get an appointment before I leave. Your advice is very much appreciated 🙏

    Knee pain...help!

    Hi all, I'm due to start the Camino Frances from SJPP on 17th or 18th May. But I'm having some issues with my knee and I'm panicking slightly.... Here's a little background. I walked the CF from Astorga to Fiinisterre in 2015 with no issues aside from blisters. In 2016, I walked the Camino...
