    Repeating the camino - opinions please!

    I walked the Camino five years ago with a small group of people, and some ended up having health issues which meant we didn't walk as much as we wanted to. I recently read my journal again and it made me quite upset to read how frustrated and sad I'd been for those sections. I still had a great...

    No longer a train from Santiago to Madrid?

    I've been going crazy over the last two days checking Rail Europe, Renfe, the forums and every other source I can find about this and I'm starting to panic! According to Rail Europe and Renfe there is no option to go by train from Santiago to Madrid, it simply brings up a message saying...

    Bordeaux Train Transfer

    I know I've seen people here discussing this but I can't find it in the search, so just wondering if anyone can help me out. How long will I realistically need at Bordeaux to transfer on the way to Bayonne? Given that I'm unfamiliar with the station and that I'll be with my mother who has a...

    Can someone translate, please?

    In the past week I've bought both my tickets and my camera so I'm getting very excited, then it occurred to me that none of the Spanish courses or books I've been using have a section on photography. So I was wondering if any of the learned scholars of the Spanish language here might be able to...

    It's that time of year finally!

    So prices for flights from Australia to Europe have finally begun to drop, which means that my family will be able to book soon and it'll actually feel like we're on our way! Some people think that the Camino is a cheap experience, but not when you're coming from this far away! The airfares...

    Bayonne

    I've gone over the travel plan with my family and they agree that after a 24-30 hour flight from Australia we don't want to rush and wear ourselves out before we start. So when we land we're going straight to Bayonne by train and should arrive mid-afternoon. Can anyone recommend a good (cheap)...

    Roadblocks

    I'd heard myths about people facing roadblocks when they begin planning their Camino, things that made them question whether it was even viable to go/facing big problems as a part of the Camino journey, etc. I hadn't put much stock in it until recently as my own roadblocks have begun to arise...

    Trains in France on special holidays

    I was going to ask this at a travel agent but maybe someone here will be able to help without trying to sell me something: My family have set the dates for our Camino but it looks like we'll be needing to get from Paris to SJPP by train on good Friday. I'm not familiar with how this holiday...

    How much time for Atapuerca?

    One of my must-see's along the Camino is Atapuerca. As an archaeologist I have a really strong desire to visit but I'm not sure how much time I'll need. For anyone who's been there, how long will I need to see it (I've heard it's open to the public, is that correct?), will an afternoon be...

    Women of the Way

    I bought myself two Camino books recently after reading Shirley Maclaine's book, which I found very negative in tone. I wanted to read something positive and uplifting about the Camino experience. (It didn't help that I'd also just read another very negative travel book, too.) I picked up Buen...

    Pants for the Short of Stature

    I went with my mum today to try and find her some zip-off hiking pants. She wanted to trial some on a trip this year before going on the Camino next year. We tried on many different brands but unfortunately my mum is quite short, and all the pant legs were trailing down under her feet. She's...

    Walking over Easter - What should we expect?

    My family is planning our Camino for about mid-April 2014 and I've just seen that Easter will fall about a week after we are planning to start. Are we going to run into many problems trying to walk over this period? Will we need to plan for shops closing, crowds, etc? If anyone has walked...

    Which brand for arch support?

    Hi, I'm buying my shoes soon so I have a bout a year to break them in, but my problem is that I have arthritis in my right foot and plantar faciitis as a result of this, so I'm looking for recommendations of brands which have reliable arch support. I've heard the North Face Hedgehog series is...
