    Best time to walk

    Hi Reklaw, I was about to ask your exact question, I also would like to walk Carcassonne to SJPDP in 2020. I have walked five caminos in Spain all May/June but this will be my first long walk in France. When I asked a freind who lives in Europe (I live in Australia) about walking in May on the...

    Manila, Philippines

    On a recent flight from Melbourne to London with Philippine Airlines (an airline I would definitely recommend) an article in the in-flight magazine caught my eye. I hope this is of some help.

    Side trip from Llanes to walk in the Picos de Europa

    Hi Maxie, thanks for your input. I checked out the area you mentioned. I would like to have more time to discover the Picos like yourself, but I think now I will go with my original plan to walk the Cares Gorge return in a day just to get a small taste of a huge area. After looking into Laurie's...

    Hi, starting camino Portuguese from Lisbon OR Santarem 14th May.

    My sister-in-law and I will be walking our third camino having walked the Frances in 2011 and the Via de la Plata in 2013 (our favourite so far). We again look forward to taking each day as it comes and enjoying all the camino has to offer.

    Will there be 'Room at the Inn" in May/June 2014?

    Hi Deborah, I completely agree with Laurie, I walked the Via from Seville starting late April last year and there was never a need to ring and book ahead except for the Arco de Caparra where we rang Monica who runs the albergue in Oliva de Plasencia so she could pick us up. Personally I wouldn't...

    Walking from Seville in April

    Hi Kathryn, I walked the Via with my sister-in-law starting late April last year after having walked the Frances in 2011. The Via was like a stroll down a country lane compard to the Frances which seemed like a four lane highway at times. We took our phones and it was rare to not get a wifi...

    Lista de Correos on VdlP

    I'm having some things sent to me in Salamanca. Obviously being a decent size city there are numerous post offices, I'm assuming the main post office is: Lista de Correos Gran Via 25-29 37001 Salamanca (SALAMANCA) I think this is correct. Sue.

    Discount tickets for REV Madrid to Seville

    Thank you so much everyone for your help. I've just this moment booked my tickets (my sister-in-law and myself) on the petrabax website for 55 euro. I am sure I could have done better but I am more than happy with this price. In 2011 we took the train from Barcelona to Pamplona when we walked...

    Discount tickets for REV Madrid to Seville

    Thank you very much jirit and Alan for your advice. I do have friends in the US and will certainly look at the petrabax website. If I do have to pay full price for my train trip so be it. I have managed to book a wonderful inexpensive hostel in Seville and a discounted internal flight at the...

    Discount tickets for REV Madrid to Seville

    I have read on the forum that discount tickets can be bought for the REV train from Madrid to Seville if you buy far enough in advance. I have been searching for tickets for Saturday 27th April, making it 63 days from today now but have had no joy. I looked at the RENFE site, TGV europe, Rail...

    Sue & Judi from Australia walked May/June

    Hi everyone, Sue here. Judi and I walked the Camino Frances mid May to late June and had the most amazing time. Our plan was to not have a plan, which was a truly liberating experience. We never made one reservation even in Santiago as we never knew exactly how far we would walk each day, but...

    Albergue in Roncesvalles (revisited thread)

    Thanks simdel, I did make the reservation via their website but I'm giving it another go. I admit I am quite technologically challenged (much to the frustration of my IT employed husband), maybe one slip on the keyboard and my request went astray Thanks again.

    Albergue in Roncesvalles (revisited thread)

    We were thinking along the same lines as you Anne with regards to needing a good nights sleep after travelling Melbourne-Barcelona-Pamplona-Roncesvalles all in one go so to speak. This albergue which would obviously be our first experience sounds fabulous. Anne, we thought we would stay at La...

    Start from Roncesvalles or Pamplona?

    Thank you everyone for your opinions, so wonderful to have such a varied response. We have chosen to stay with our original plan to leave from Roncesvalles as we feel like it is 'our start'. Very much looking forward to spending a lot less time thinking of what's ahead and just letting the...
