    Taxi camino.com transports bags on the Primitivo

    Hi there. Has anyone used the taxicamino.com service? What was your experience? Are there any other carriers? I'm walking the Primitivo in two weeks' time and a friend may join me for a portion of it, but she's concerned about carrying her backpack for long distances, especially given the...

    Is there a Post Office in Bilbao or Irun Bus Station?

    Ok, thanks Nancy. I was wondering whether I should just go directly onward to Irun but I'm glad I chose to spend a night in Bilbao (I will spend one more at the end of my trip). So that settles it for me: I will need to find a way to send my suitcase from Bilbao! :) Peace. Edgar

    Camino por etapas / Camino by stages

    Hi all, is this document still available for peregrinos? I start the Norte (Irun) in a weeks' time and would be very appreciative of documents that include maps, albergues, sights, etc... Thank you! Edgar

    Is there a Post Office in Bilbao or Irun Bus Station?

    Hi there. I plan to walk a portion of the "Norte" (Irun - Bilbao) and then do the "Primitivo", starting in Oviedo. My journey in Irun will begin on Sept. 19. I will fly into Bilbao on Sept. 17, and spend the night there. On Sept. 18 I will bus to Irun and spend the night there before...

    hendaye/irun

    I will be arriving in Irun by bus either on September 17 or 18 from Bilbao. On the following day I hope to begin my Camino (combination of Norte and Primitivo, ending in Santiago). A few questions: 1- I plan to travel with the ALSA bus line. Does anyone know if I can catch the bus at the...

    Scallop Shell

    I will walk a portion of the Camino del Norte and the entire Primitivo. I've heard that trinkets and souvenirs (ie - shells) are mostly on the Frances. If anyone knows which town/city along the Norte or Primitivo has some available I'd greatly appreciate it. Buen Camino, Ed.

    List your shoes

    I see that lots of people bring crocs despite the fashion faux pas they seem to present. Question: does anybody bring their well-worn, comfortable birkenstocks along as their evening footwear? They're certainly not stylish, but I'd imagine they're lighter (but I really don't know), and...

    Hiking sandals or lighter flip flops?

    Hi there, could anyone clarify? It sounds to me like some of you are taking 3 pairs of footwear on the camino: 1- boots/cross trainers - for the hike 2- crocs/sandals - for walking around town (open toed, to give feet much-needed air/respite) 3- flip flops - for the showers Most of you...

    10-15 Days: Which Camino?

    Hi again. Does anyone know about transportation connections from smaller towns (like Bolibar, Ziortza, Markina, or Gernika - all in the Basque Province, along the Camino del Norte?) to cities like Bilbao? My plan at this point is as follows: Irun - Bolibar/Ziortza along the Camino del Norte in...

    10-15 Days: Which Camino?

    Thanks Laurie. I'm now considering a slightly longer trip: from Irun to Bilbao (including a stay at the monastery in Zenarruza), and then bus to Oviedo and do the "Primitivo" in its entirety. The Primitivo seems to be a historical walk (it's one of the oldest and most original), and that's...

    forwarding luggage from Porto

    Is the luggage transfer/storage from Oporto to Santiago option still available? I clicked on the link provided by Ivar and it didn't seem to work. I'm contemplating doing the Camino Portugues from Oporto to Santiago starting on approx. Sept. 20.

    10-15 Days: Which Camino?

    Thank you all for your kind suggestions. I'm leaning towards the Camino Portugues (in addition to the monastery at Herbon, there are a few at or near Pontevedra, if I've heard correctly elsewhere), but have not decided yet. I've heard that there may be a few monasteries between Irun and...

    10-15 Days: Which Camino?

    I'm 42, and in relatively good physical shape. I'm planning to walk the Camino for 10-15 days between Sept. 20 - Oct. 20 of this year. I have never walked the Camino before, and since I'm only walking a short distance (approx. +/- 300KM), I would prefer not to walk on the Camino Frances (I...
