In a nutshell: Look into the concept of "comprehensible input." This page does a good job explaining it: https://www.dreamingspanish.com/method. I'm conversational (i.e. I can do pretty well talking one-on-one to most Spaniards on most any topic unless it's one I have no interest in/no...
Oh how I loved the Le Puy route. I haven't walked the Norte, so can't speak to that, but for those considering this route, I second a lot of what Longwei has said. I walked from Le Puy-en-Velay to Figeac. Beautiful scenery, definitely some intense ups and downs (maybe felt moreso because I was...
Thank you for all these suggestions! Yes, I've done a few Caminos -- CF, CP, and the VP is the Via Podiensis, which is the Le Puy route -- not sure how it's abbreviated on here. The reason I'm asking about the last 100km is that I've really only walked two routes into Santiago -- CP and CF. I...
Hello dear pilgrims --
I've done a few caminos, but this will be the first for my husband. He wants to do the last 100km (as he can only walk for a week and wants to get a compostela) and wants to walk a route that has "cute towns." We'll be doing this in June, 2019.
So should we do the last...
I did mine via wordpress as well. However, I HIGHLY recommend you post at least 3-4 blogs before you leave so you know how it all works. All too often, people set up the blog before they go, then never post a thing as it's hard to learn to do something new once you're already over there. Learn...
I second both of these. Montbonnet was delightful. New, beautiful, delicious food. Le Sauvage -- loved the ambiance and the fact that they support local farmers.
I stayed at Rose de l'Aubrac and also highly recommend it. I was there in July of last year. The space was lovely. And the food -- !!
I stayed in the dorm on the second floor, but got a peek at the private rooms and they were just as lovely.
Our meal: veggie soup, salad, mushroom quiche...
MC -- I'm just walking from Le Puy to Air Sur l'Adour. Does the guidebook you just got cover that area? If so, from what web site did you purchase it? Thank you!

Hello pilgrims,
My boyfriend and I are looking to rent an apartment or home in a town along the Vezelay or LePuy routes for about a month (he works on-line and I am a writer). If you know of any rentals that meet the following criteria, please let me know:
-private accommodation with at least...

Then you may see a man walking with one crutch and pulling a wheeled bag. If so, offer to pull his bag ahead for him if you can. Say hello and offer to leave it for him a little bit down the way. He will be ever so appreciative as it's easier for him to walk with both of his crutches than...
Thank you to all for your responses! I feel much better about getting in to SJPdP and getting started on my Camino:)
(FYI: I'll go through immigration when I arrive in Paris, so I don't have to worry about that in Biarritz... Would be nice to find other pilgrims coming on the same flight...
Hello all -
My flight arrives into Biarritz at 16:15 on May 10. Will I have enough time to get to SJPdP that night?
From the research I've done it looks like the bus to Bayone from Biarritz leaves every half-hour and takes about 30 min. Then, it seems that the last train from Bayonne to St...
