    LIVE from the Camino Live from Burgos - help/advice needed

    Train to Leon from Burgos is also an option, depending on your cost allowances. The train station is not conveniently located downtown like the bus station is, but is quicker. You could spend a few days resting in both... Leon is a beautiful city and found found it had a really nice feel. When...

    Barcelona to SJPP? Best way....a bit confused

    When we went, we took the train from Barcelona to Pamplona, then the bus from there to SJPDP. I had purchased all of tickets online before we went....we also went in Aug. Since you still have time before you leave, you will be able to monitor the bus strike situation to decide how to travel...

    Dragonte - pilgrims

    We walked this last year in Sept. and as mentioned, is a bit tricky to find, especially if you are leaving before sunrise...I suggest you scout it out the day before if staying in Villafranca. We never saw anyone on this path either, but it is a gorgeous walk and were surprised there was no one...

    Albergue Irugoienea : Espinal

    This does sound like a lovely little find :) Last year when we walked, we stayed in a few of the "off the stage" towns, and although really nice, found that most of the people staying in them were Spanish speaking people that only interacted amongst themselves :( I missed the social aspect of...

    Theft and violence by pilgrims

    We also found this little town very eerie, was always curious to know....was it ever inhabited and then people couldn't afford to make payments and walk away, or did the units never sell ? I wonder how much they sell for now ?

    Good backpack for petite women? Help!

    I smile when you say you are petite....5'3".... I am 4'11" :) I tried various packs on before I purchased my Soloman 30 ltr.... I loved it....see if you can find one to try on. It is ultra light, has a full zipper so is not just top loading...just like I wanted. Be sure that your belt strap is...

    Men in their underwear?

    Last year, a German girl that I walked with from time to time, said that she seemed to be on the same walking schedule as a group of older European men that liked to walk around the alberque in the evening naked. Finally one night, after consuming a full bottle of wine she had purchased, she...

    Help for 100lb ( 45 kg) woman. what backpack to use?

    Hi Brooklyngirl, I'm not sure if your height, but my weight is about the same as yours...I am just under 5' tall, and used a Soloman backpack...30l. Without water or food, my pack weighed about 13 lbs. when I started and had no problems...never ditched anything, and added only a small amout of...

    Backpack concern

    The Osprey...any style...did not fit me....I am vertically challenged :) I used a Soloman 28 or 30ltr. and it worked great for me.

    Please, for your walking companions, don't get rid of the deodorant !! Well worth the weight :)

    Reservations at Orrisson

    This is a great place to stay...we found that the people that stayed here with us ended up being our closest Camino family. We arrived here at 10:30 in the morn as we left SJPDP early. Another time, I would explore SJPDP more in the morn before heading out, as there is nothing to do at Orisson...

    Trip in late August thru September?

    We walked last year at this time...starting in SJPDP....foggy and very humid the first 2 morns...be prepared for hot weather, drink lots of water, slap on that sunscreen. We had only 2 mornings when it spit rain and that was done within an hour....no real rain...yay :) Lots of people, but we...

    Nationality Flags/Patches

    I had a Cdn. patch on my pack, as we stepped onto the subway in Barceleona, a young man approached us, asked if we were really from Canada ?:) He had been studying abroad and had not seen any Canadians for months...we had a nice chat before we went our separate ways.

    Pants for the Short of Stature

    I am 4'11", and just took a pair of capris that were actually long on me, and a pair of leggings. The capris had buttons so I could roll them up if I wanted to...and I found them long enough with my boots...they certainly didn't drag in the dirt...luckily we had no mud. I too had looked at the...
