    Long term secure luggage storage in Bilbao?

    My wife and I stayed at the same hotel (NH Villa de Bilbao) when we arrived in Spain and the last few days before we left. That allowed us to stash a bag with them and also provided a place for me to send stuff to when I did the "pare down" routine at the end of the first week of walking. I...

    Wonderful B&B in Acebo

    Just spent the night there last night. This is the first town you get to after the VERY steep descent about 17K out of Rabanal. Not a long distance travelled but all that "down" takes it out of you. If you want to treat yourself try this wonderful inn. 45€ for a doble includes breakfast but for...

    Starting on Sept 7... Was okay but freaking out a bit!

    Falcon, Not sure if you're watching this post anymore... You mentioned in your proposed itinerary for me (thanks again!) that it included "some of my favorite albergues". It's completely clear with the small towns that only have one but most of the locations have multiple albergues to...

    Starting on Sept 7... Was okay but freaking out a bit!

    I am already feeling the warmth and support from my fellow peregrinos and I haven't set foot on the trail yet! Thanks so much to all of you for your support and especially to falcon269 for taking the time to draft a whole itinerary for me. I am feeling much better!

    Starting on Sept 7... Was okay but freaking out a bit!

    My name is Greg Neutra and I will be starting my Camino from Burgos bright and early the morning of Sept 7th. Planning to reach Santiago 29 days later on Oct 5. One of my challenges is a bum ankle and that's why I'm setting my bar at 300 miles in 29 days. I feel that I've done what I can to...

    Water everywhere?!

    Has anyone documented the stretches where there is no water available for longer periods? Is there a average amount of water to load up with every morning (1L, 2L)? Thanks.

    Sending pack ahead...

    Sorry in advance because I'm sure this has been covered but... Can someone explain how the system of sending your pack ahead works and how much it costs? Also, do you feel it's safe? Thanks!

    "I'm Greg and I'm a pilgrim." (starting Sept 7 that is...)

    My name is Greg Neutra and I will be starting my Camino from Burgos bright and early the morning of Sept 7th. Planning to reach Santiago 29 days later on Oct 5. I am coming from New Mexico but also spend my winters in Old Mexico (just south of Puerto Vallarta). Have a bit of Spanish under my...

    Trekking Pole Use

    Can someone talk about the situation where an auberge makes you leave your poles at the door? Is this true more than not? Why? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Skipping the meseta...

    I expect all kinds of responses to this post so please feel free! If one wanted to skip the meseta what would that look like? Is it simply the stretch between Burgos and Leon? I heard from a Camino veteran that you would need to make this decision at the beginning as there are no buses once...
