    LIVE from the Camino Arlés in April

    Well we who have walked my promote it a bit more. My first day was quite nice. Arles to Vauvert 42 km via Le petit Rôhne. It was so green. Not much variation but I settle for green and 25C instead of snow snow and more snow. My partner texted me and said they have -17C at home. My back is...

    LIVE from the Camino Arlés in April

    I just made it to the train. So Arlés here I come. And I just got a friendly mail from one place in Vauvert that I have a booking and if my back hates me then I can cancel or arrive as late as I please. So that’s sorted.

    LIVE from the Camino Arlés in April

    I contacted Renee Debard and he forwarded my mail to a woman who lives next to the cathedral. She will meet me 8:30 outside the cathedral. What a service. I’m aiming for Somport initially then we will see where I end up. Have some ischias pain so I might have to discover how it is to do short...

    LIVE from the Camino Arlés in April

    On the train to Paris where I have to change train station for the last leg to Arlés. We are a bit delayed so I really hope I can make it. The train is noisy and I can’t make any phone calls today so I have emailed places in St Gilles and Vauvert one in St Gilles answered that they are full...

    Spring Camino, where?

    Thanks. That has to wait for some other time, Vasco is a bit short with my love for long stages it would be less than a week I think. Have decided for France this time on Camino Arles.

    Spring Camino, where?

    That looks yummy. I have some other allergies as well like mushrooms (so no Brie, or blue cheese for me :-( ) I’’ lactose intolerant as well but tablets works fine. But I’ll survive, I have only been really sick on the Camino twice and both were regular food poisons. Oh my got it sucks...

    Spring Camino, where?

    Thank you. I have mapy.cz installed as well. I also have the gpx tracks from https://www.outdooractive.com/en/route/pilgrim-walk/gard/via-tolosana-arles-st-gilles/24513811/ (this is the first stage) so I hope I’m covered together with Buen Camino app and Gronze App :-) I’m a non FB-user so...

    Spring Camino, where?

    Thank you. I managed to find pretty good food on my way home on my last Camino when I stopped in larger towns in France. I have to create a text to say/send to half board places I might stay at to figure out what they can provide. At least in Spain food at albergues/pensions where it was...

    Spring Camino, where?

    A quick update. I decided to do Camino Arlès. Will start April 4 and walk as long as I manage during the time I have off. A lot of admin stuff at work regarding my time off and the possibility to get a train ticket delayed my trip with weeks so I work with what I have. I’ll use Gronze and/or...

    Starting Camino Mozárabe from Almería in April

    I wish you a buen camino, it is a really nice but solitude route to walk but the contact with the camino association in Almería throught the first stages was at least for me a comfort. According to the calendar...

    long sleeve Merino wool shirt for SUMMER

    I have done all summer/autumn caminos in longsleeve and turtle neck wool (150 g/mm2) with a long zip from Houdini, I have opted for pure merino wool even if it is less durable than a mix as I don't like the smell of teh syntethic mix. I have the woman's version of this...

    How far in advance book the accommodations

    Thanks. Yes I know. Bad wording from me when I say “booking”. I just mean having to tell someone that I’ll be at a place a certain day/timeframe. I do miss the care free first caminos where I could decide when arriving to a village/town oh I like it here, I stay here for the night or oh snap I...

    How far in advance book the accommodations

    I think you misunderstood I don’t want to book in advance. I want to be quite free on the Camino (even if the options are more limited on once with long distance stages). If I could I would not book anything at all (that is how I have done all caminos except Mozarabe and Levante). But I...

    How far in advance book the accommodations

    Oh no so still brown and brown. So sad. But at the same time I guess I don’t have to plunge rivers to get across then.

    How far in advance book the accommodations

    Yes I assume the weather is better in the south east. And I would love to see that in some green. Only seen 50 shades of brown on Levante and Mozarabe in autumn. Still trying to figure out how to get there though. Not flying is a bit of a hassle sometimes.

    How far in advance book the accommodations

    Thank you all. I have to decide shortly and if i manage to book a train trip to Spain. Regarding Easter I’m a bit concerned about closed places (grocery stores/bars/reataurants etc.) I have no problem with staying in hotel/pensions and private hostels. It was more a concern when it said book a...

    How far in advance book the accommodations

    I have read some guides and other material and in some it say specific for an albergue 1-3 days in advance for those. Other sources says 3 days in advance for municipal etc. and 1 week for private. I get nervous about this as I really don’t like to plan that long in advance. But maybe Lana is...

    My Stages on the Lana, 2023

    Thanks. Have to decide where to start. Started in Valencia for Levante so maybe I start in Alicante or Benidorm (or start by walking from Alicante to Benidorm :-) )
