I’m starting from SJPP on August 31st. My plan is to take it nice and slow for the first few days. I’ll be stopping at Albergue Borda on the 31st and then Roncesvalles on the 1st. I’d like to stop in Viskarreta or even Linzoain on the 2nd. Problem is, there doesn’t seem to be any places with...
Hello! Have you ever mailed a package to Burgos? If so, where did you mail it to?
I’d like to send something forward to pick up for myself. So, I’m a little curious if anyone has done this
Hello! Could you recommend a place to stay in Barcelona pre Camino? I would like to stay for 2-3 days to get over jet lag and to do some sightseeing. Preferably, something private (for jet lag). But, open to other ideas too!
I saw that someone had stayed here and gave a good review...
Hi, I have a bed booked for September 1 at Orisson. I can’t make it. They don’t do refunds these days. would anyone be looking for a free bed for that night?
Another weather question… if you’ve walked the Francis in mid April through May, did you experience all kinds of weather? How cold did it get, how hot did it get how much rain fell?!!!

I have a rather specific question...
As a very restless sleeper, I know for a fact that I can’t use a sleeping bag or a zippered sleeping sack. I’m wondering if anyone has ever used a fitted sheet and a light weight fleece blanket?
When I walked in 2014, I used a cotton sleeping sack that I cut...
I had read a few posts in regards to making reservations in albergues for 2021. Seeing as I’m a bit of an anxious person, I thought I’d “play it safe” and book my first week forty own sanity! Some places aren’t t taking reservations for 2021 yet. Other places are taking them - they have been...
This liner is a seamless barrel shape and it has a lot of stretch to it. It’s very roomie, but I feel kinda confined when I get in. How the heck do you get out when you have to go to the bathroom?😳
I’d like to either add a zipper or a few ties on one side so it’s easier to get in and out of...
Hey, I’m thinking that using a camelbak in the summer might seem like a good idea. Im also thinking that it might be difficult to fill in an albergue.
If you have used one, please share your opinions!
I could use some input here!
I walked the Francés in the fall of 2014. It’s been in my thoughts every darn day since I returned home.
I’m unable to take another leave of absence from work which leaves me only July and August - the 2 busiest and the 2 hottest months of the year in terms of...
