    Found Credencial in Eunate

    Bless you for posting this, KeyserSoza! I had a heart-stopping moment on my 2019 Frances. I paused at the edge of SdeC, at the Chapel of San Marcos on the Monte de Gozo. I went inside for a quiet moment, and to get my credencial stamped, then rested on the low stone wall outside its door. I...

    Finding the statues that mark the “half way” point near Sahagun

    Ah! But in in Sahagun proper, between the Arco de San Benito and the Rio Cea bridge, there is another monument appearing to compete for the half-way honors! I attach a photo of handsome me posing beside it last October..

    LIVE from the Camino Walking the CF for Teresa

    I'm frankly shocked! I've NEVER encountered border patrol agents at the Fountain of Roland crossing! Is there something unusual going on?

    Most Dangerous stage on Camino Frances.?

    The most dangerous place I ever had to deal with was a busy street crossing in the center of the town of Virgen del Camino, back in 2015 --- where I stupidly stumbled over my own feet, fell, and badly broke my right hand! (Bone sticking out, and all that.... I took a picture of my rather gory...

    Restaurant recommendations between Santo Domingo and Belorado?

    Can remember a really good ensalada mixta in the Restaurante Leon, in Villamayor del Rio, several years back.....

    Urdos to Somport Advice

    I also walked the Camino Aragones, starting at Lourdes, in 2018.... . For reasons sufficient unto me I decided to skip that final push up to the Somport Pass. There was a bus from Urdos departing around 9:00 AM, passing first through Canfranc Estacion and then looping up and back to Somport...

    Oloron-Sainte-Marie to Santiago

    Give Jaca the time it deserves.... The Cathedral and the Cathedral Museum are world-class!

    Chinese shops???

    And here's a "Restaurante Chino" near the bus station in Burgos. (Good food. Lousy wine!)

    Chinese shops???

    The biggest Tienda China I ever ran across was in Santiago de Compostela itself! It's close to, but not in, the Casco Viejo -- its just past the Alameda Park and near the Plaza Roxa..... Had fun buying new post-Camino underwear there in June 2022 . (Underwear made in China, it goes without saying.)

    Computer/ laptop for rent on Camino

    It's been quite a few years since I last saw a functioning "Internet Cafe" on the Frances.

    Ride share April 16th/2024 Madrid to Pamplona, 17th to SJPP

    ALSA bus, direct from Barajas T4. Absolutely the easiest and cheapest.

    Life-size Bronze Statues

    I'm pretty sure this one is not bronze! ... (Camino Ingles June 4, 2022)

    Life-size Bronze Statues

    Is this one bronze?

    Life-size Bronze Statues

    And absolutely hideous! When I stared at them all I could think of was LOTR's Nazgul!

    Hotel Continental, St Jean PdP

    The Gite Compostella! Stayed there in 2012 and loved it. I do hope that it's still open!

    If you had to choose to skip a part of the route. What would be your choice?

    My least loved sections? Probably Santo Domingo de la Calzada to Burgos, and Leon to Astorga.. And as for those stages west of Sarria? Not my favorites by any means -- I'm a Meseta man! -- but if ya ain't walked Sarria to SdeC at least once, ya ain't walked the Camino!

    Train transfer in Leon

    When I arrived at the Leon bus station in late October 2023 I discovered that the comfy old Terminal building was closed -- under total reconstruction. People were milling about amongst the external bus-stop slots hoping to make their connections. Much confusion. Hope things are better now.

    Attention The Way fans! That courtyard is easily found! I visited it in 2019.
