    Only have 21 days. Can I make it from Pamplona to end in 21 days? Madrid to Pamplona?

    May I offer a different view . 20 km a day is about 4 hours or so walking , 5 with a coffee con lech or two. If the OP is fit and a walker 35k a day is not an issue noting that in many cases people start at 6am. My biggest frustration when I did the Camino in 2012 was that I relied on the...

    From Madrid to SJPP or Paris SJPP

    hi easyjet seems to be about $90 and Air France can be from $130 and up depends on when you book the flights , :)

    From Madrid to SJPP or Paris SJPP

    if you are flying into Paris yoiu could look to fly to Biarritz [one hour 15 mins] rather than take the train. this is what i will be doing in september as after a 24 hour flight to paris another quick flight seems a better option than five plus hours on a train,,,, :)

    Camino in September....from Chicago

    Hope this isnt seen as a thread hijack - but I am also looking at staring in mid to late Serptember and had similar queries re the weather and wonder just how much "cold climate" gear to bring. I was advised to take fleeces and a montane prism jacket - which I think [the jacket] may be a bit...
