    10 things you NEED to bring on the Camino de Santiago!

    Hola peregrinos! I made this short video about the 10 things you NEED (or I think you need) to bring on the Camino. After two journeys and a third in the works, I've had a lot of time to think about this topic. :) I hope you enjoy! Buen Camino! UPDATE: This video is only a suggestion - by no...

    Baztan, Vasco del Interior or Aragones?

    Hi! Haven't posted on here in awhile, but I'm happy to be back! (And hi to my friend @peregrina2000 who I met on the Norte last year!) I'm gearing up for a semester abroad at the Universidad de Navarra in Pamplona (which is super exciting as a pilgrim) and I've started researching potential...

    Hi all, I am planning on walking to Fatima from Santarem but I have not been able to find any information on stages... I would like to walk to Fatima in 2-3 days and then rejoin the Caminho at Tomar. Could you please give me a list of stages (with accommodation options) for this route? Thank...

    Lots of questions (Caminho Portugues)

    Hi all, I've just returned from my first Camino (Frances) and already have decided to plan for another in Summer 2016! I am trying to decide between the Caminho Portugues and the Camino del Norte. I've heard very little about both, except that the Portuguese Way is rather industrial while the...

    Leon vs Astorga

    Hi all, Currently about 3 days from Leon and wondering about where to take a rest day. We began in Lourdes so this is about our 4th/5th week and we took rest days in both Burgos and Pamplona. This upcoming rest day will be our last until Santiago and I want it to be peaceful/relaxing but also...

    Sampedros Festival in Burgos??

    Hello all, I'm currently in the small village of Villambistia, just two days away from Burgos. We plan to take a rest day in Burgos on the 30th and 31st of June, BUT there is the Sampedros festival going on all week!! Will this make it hard to find accommodation? Also, will things be closed...

    Email/Contact Info for the Auberge Paroissal in Arudy?

    Hello, I recently tried to email Father Pierre at the albergue in Arudy, but I immediately got a return email saying that "pierrs@orange.fr" was not a valid address!!! Does anyone know his new contact information? Or has the albergue closed? It would be sad if I cannot stay here because I've...

    Water in Southern France? And other problems.

    I will be walking from Lourdes to St. Jean PdP in June. I was wondering: are the fountains on this route (Chemin du Piemont) readily available, fairly common, and CLEAN (potable) to drink from? Where can these fountains be found? Also I speak no French. Will this be a problem? I speak fluent...

    Santiago dC to Salamanca…?

    Hi all, I am planning on spending two days in Salamanca after the Camino, but transportation from SdC seems scarce. All I can find is a commuter train that takes about 7,5 hours and would force me to transfer in Medina del Campos (which is WAY out of the way!). To those who have travelled...

    El Camino... in Italy?!?!?!

    Whilst in Assisi (Umbria) this past October, I saw a few things that reminded me of the Camino: This banner was draped over the town museum. It reads "Pellegrino e nuovo apostolo: San Francesco nel Cammino di Santiago" which translated from Italian means "The Pilgrim and the New Apostle...

    Non-Brierley Stages, anyone?

    Hi all, I've been reading a lot about how crowded the Way is getting in recent years, with new material and new guidebooks coming out all the time which is feeding the interests of many different types of people. While for many the point of El Camino is to meet new people from all over the...

    Cathedral Restoration?

    Hi all, I have seen recent pictures of the Cathedral and have noticed that half of the Obradoiro facade is covered in scaffolding! I read online that there is restoration going on and no one can enter through this entrance, which is rather discouraging to find out since my Camino will be next...

    L'Esprit du Chemin?

    Hey all, I'm walking from Lourdes next summer and was checking into reservations at L'Esprit du Chemin once I arrive in SJPdP (planned around the 15th of June)... but to my dismay, ALL of the dates were red (which means already reserved) from now until September of 2014! I can't believe this...

    Worried about my shoes... HELP!!

    Hey all, So I bought the Oboz Yellowstone II hiking boots/shoes about two months ago and I've been reading a lot about them. Bad part is, most of the stuff I'm reading is scaring me. For hiking the Appalachian Trail, they're perfect, say most of the reviews. But the Camino in not the AT...

    Where to fly into.....?

    Hi, I am starting my Camino in Lourdes (and then following the Frances). What is the cheapest airport to fly into if I want to get to Lourdes (taking into account train fares)? I am going to fly from Houston in the United States, if that is any help. Thank you!

    General questions about the Piemont Way

    Hello all! I have recently been researching the Piemont Way, which I will walk next June from Lourdes to St Jean, and the information is scattered throughout the web and various Camino forums (with most official information being in French, which I do not understand). So it would be very...

    Which route from Lourdes?

    Hello all! I know this thread may not be in the correct place, but I wasn't sure where to put it. :oops: But my question is: Next summer I will be doing the Camino from Lourdes, France. This is my first Camino ever and I wanted to make it special by starting at an important Catholic shrine...

    Best historical guidebook??

    Hello all, I am unsure whether or not this has been asked previously, but there is no harm in asking again! :D Anyway, I really want to be immersed in the culture around me while on my Camino next year, and knowing me, I would deeply regret just walking by a major historical area or landmark...
