    Biarritz Airport to SJPdP Sep 5, 2023

    I'm flying from Dublin to Biarritz, landing at 15:25 on RyanAir. Does anyone want to share a ride? I already checked with Express Bourricot and they don't have a van scheduled yet. They can schedule one at a cost of 130€. The van carries up to 8 people, lowering the price to 19€ per person.

    Any recommendations for GPX tracks for the Norte? Are there any that include both the official route PLUS the alternatives? One file for the entire Norte rather than individual stages? Also, what is your favorite offline map app to use when hiking? I've used OsmAnd and have liked it, but...

    Water fountains on the Norte

    Is water availability on the Norte similar to the Frances? Do the towns all have fountains for refilling your water supply? I know I can go into bars as well, but would like to know about fountains too. I love the way Brierley noted water sources in his guide, but seems my Norte guides don't...

    Private Rooms to rent (not albergues or casa rural, etc)

    Hi, does anyone know if there are many places with rooms to rent that aren't listed in Brierleys or WisePilgrim? When we walked the Frances we sometimes found rooms to rent over bars and in our travels in other countries we've found private homes that rent out a room or two. We're in Porto...

    Connecting the Camino Portuguese to Finisterre, bypassing Santiago

    Hello all, I'm wondering if there is a way to walk the Portuguese route and then head towards Finisterre from around Padron,skipping Santiago. We would go to Santiago afterwards, but I'd love to save it for after Finisterre this time. Are there any trails? Accommodations? Thank you!

    Thoughts? - people getting a compostela without walking the final 100k

    Hi all, I'm curious as to what you think, about people getting a Compostela even though they were using a taxi service regularly. One guy that we met in the last 100k was a church organist who was taking a taxi daily along with his companions packs, meeting up at the end of the day at an...
