    Laundry

    Now there's a compelling subject line. I've done a couple summer Caminos and liked the convenience of having my clothes dry in a couple hours or hanging them off the pack like it's a traveling shop. I'm considering a March VDLP and was wondering if any of you had any tips for laundry and...

    updates--A December/January start

    I was just wondering how people fared who started this previous December or January. Was it miserable and lonely, or cool and lovely? There seems to be some conflicting information on the boards as to the weather situation starting in Sevilla in winter, though I understand the weather can vary...

    New movie about the Camino Frances

    Hey all, I just finished a documentary I made about my journey along the Camino de Santiago. This forum really helped me out in the past, so I thought I would share the trailer with you all. You can find it here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/On-the-Road-of-Stars/113594235352419?ref=ts

    Fiestas this year

    I walked the camino in 2007 and am planning another one this summer, leaving in two or three weeks. I really enjoyed the fiestas in Azofra and other places along the route. They really helped mix up the solitude and contemplative walking. Does anyone know when they're happening this year? Last...

    Madrid recommendations

    My flight itinerary has been changed and I now get to spend 12 hours in Madrid! Recommendations, anyone? Any warnings (e.g., stay out of such and such an area, etc.) will be heeded as well. Thanks, --Neil

    Leaving in a week...

    Just some last-minute questions: 1) I'll be starting in Pamplona on July 16th. Aside from the museum of Navarre can anyone recommend a place there that I absolutely shouldn't miss? Any advice on getting around in Pamplona would be appreciated as well. 2) I was unable to have a bedbug...

    Trains in Spain

    Does anyone think I'll have a problem arriving by train in Madrid Chamartin at 7:45 in time for an 11:35 flight? Are the trains usually delayed in Spain or are they pretty reliable? BTW thanks for listening and responding to my frequent posts everyone...I've only a few weeks to plan since...

    meson del barro

    I was planning on reserving a room in this hostel for July 16 when I will now be arriving in Pamplona; however, when I received an email from them I was given a quote and asked to send my credit card information via email. They would then charge me in full -- a month before I arrive. Is this...

    credit cards en route

    Not to inundate this forum with newbie questions, but I'm still curious about the use of credit cards along the way. I've never traveled overseas before, so I'm not sure if I could use my current debit/credit card (VISA) there or how to exchange dollars for euros with the card. Or is there...

    bringing a tent

    Since I'm going in July I've considered bringing a tent so I wouldn't have to worry about getting to an albergue before one or even noon. However I have a question. Where can one pitch a tent along the route? Can I just pop it up anywhere that looks good to me, such as near a water source...

    Is this a good idea?

    I was thinking of booking a round-trip flight from JFK to Pamplona, with the arrival and departure a month apart. After finishing the camino in Santiago, I would catch a cheap flight from the airport there back to Pamplona in time to make the return trip from Pamplona to JFK. This seems the...
