    His Camino fails to live up to expectations

    You did more value than you might have intended. Was interesting to read and think about since almost at same time as my walk. He was so lucky to miss the bad weather at SJPdP just before him. I have respect for his honesty. Do not care to judge. Happy I was able to read his experiences...

    His Camino fails to live up to expectations

    I just finished my Camino. Got to Santiago on May 25. Am now on the French Basque coast and meeting pilgrims doing the El Norte trail. Will walk a bit of it myself before going home to California next week. I had an amazing Camino on the Frances trail. Did it meet my expectations? No. It...

    3...2...1...Camino!

    Just got to San Sebastian. Went to my favorite place for tapas and met my first pelegrino walking the Norte trail, Arnaud from Holland. He had to camp last night due to strike. He was so sweet. Gave me some advice on going slow at the start, and he was very knowledgable. Was so happy to...

    3...2...1...Camino!

    In Spain, spending an unexpected extra day in Barcelona since there is a strike today and so no trains to go to San Sebastian. Had to find a hotel, and they upgraded my room since my train was cancelled. Very sweet and have enjoyed the extra day here. Getting used to being in Spain again...

    Where are all the Americans???

    I'm from San Diego and I leave from SJPP on April 2nd. So, I will add to the American numbers for this year. It takes some time to explain what I am doing to my friends and family, as they have never heard of it before. I have spent a decent amount of time in Spain, mainly in Barcelona and...

    Orisson: To stop or not to stop?

    Hi Hieu, I think I read somewhere that Orisson officially opens on April 2nd and only opens earlier if the weather is nice. So since my reservation was for April 2nd, he already knew it would be open so the reservation was made. I am sure if it is open when you are there it will be no...

    Suggestions on Where to Take Breaks for a Couple of Days

    I have to say thank you to everyone who posted ideas for detours here and in another thread. So very helpful - thank you for sharing! I also am taking 8+ or so weeks to walk the Camino and want to stop and see places I may never have the opportunity to see again. Without trying to plan too...

    Albergue in St.Jean Pied de Port / in 30 days to Santiago

    This is a b&b in SJPP that was recommended to me on this site. Tim has been very helpful to me with questions, I think he is a forum member. I am staying first a couple nights in SJPP as I wanted some time to see it before I leave. You can make a reservation in advance...

    Orisson: To stop or not to stop?

    I booked my room at Orisson for April 2nd. As Thruthinker said, I want to pace and go slow at the start. I think after having climbed up for however long it takes, that it will be nice to stop and enjoy being where I am. I have never been in the Pyrenees before, nor know if/when I will ever...

    Class of 2012

    Hello! Joining the 2012 group. I leave San Diego on March 26th to go walk the Camino. I love Spain, have been there many times, it is the first place I visited in Europe as a young girl - and it keeps bringing me back. One of my best friends now is from San Sebastian and I've been fortunate...
