    Cheap Elipsos Trenhotel tickets?

    Half price prem tickets are only on offer in France Spain and Switzerland at the moment. If I use the French SNCF website for a dummy booking, it seems that I can get them for the French price, even if I give a UK address. Does anyone know if this actually works on a live booking, or do I need a...

    Ryanair

    Something is happening behind the scenes. Overnight, the Vueling Paris - Santiago and London - A Coruna flights in spring next year have vanished from their online booking engine. I'm hoping that it all shakes out in a good way. Fiona

    Overnight train to Burgos?

    Nickie - Thank you! If I end up walking from the station, is it easy to find the route into Burgos? On Googlemap it looks like you have to walk on a dual carriageway for a while. Should I just head south and hope for the best? At some point that should intersect the Camino (somewhere between...

    Class of 2011

    I will be continuing my pilgrimage in early April 2011, starting at Tardajos (which is where I stopped last time). I have exactly 29 days and that means doing about 20km each day with a few rest days or days at the very end in Santiago. In 2008 I found that 15km was easy, 20km perfectly doable...

    Overnight train to Burgos?

    Has anyone taken the overnight train to Burgos from Paris? It arrives at about 5.30 in the morning. Is anything open at the station at that time of day? Are there any taxis? My last Camino finished abruptly and unexpectedly at Tardajos, so it feels right to start from there this time. I was...

    Starting soon

    Nobody said it was easy..... An unexpected update from the road ( or more precisely back in the UK) My passport and bank cards "disappeared" from my bag the day after Burgos. NEVER turn your back on the important bags for a second. My phone case, though not my phone, was also taken. Luckily I...

    Wheat allergies

    An update from the road - on the stretch from Pamplona to Burgos I have found no difficulties at all. eg Bar Basseri in Pamplona advertises a gluten free menu in its window. Breakfast - drinking yogurt, chocolate milk, the ever available tortilla in a bar. Lunch, picnic from a shop, or another...

    Wheat allergies

    Re: Wheat allergies/celiac/coeliac I hadn't intended to post on this subject until after my return, but here goes! I too am coeliac (as is my mother) - I have travelled very successfully in Latin America and she has travelled in Northern Spain, again without problems. She recommends living on...

    Snow and mist in Navarra

    I have also looked at the website Laura mentions. A lot of those services are historic details of last summer's routes. However, I did find some that worked at the moment. But to repeat laura, please don't rely on me, either! There is a bus M-F at 1300 to Larasoana, (the Euqui service) The...

    Snow and mist in Navarra

    wow- looks like the leg from Roncesvalles to Pamplona will at best be slushy, and at worst a stream-bed, next week. Something to consider next Friday when I fly into Pamplona! Still, I don't have to decide whether I shall walk southwest or bus northeast until next Saturday morning.

    Where would I fly into with Roncesavalles as a start point?

    Hiya, I just tried out your dates on Iberia.com and the best price I could find was the same as the ones you quote. You may be able to get a better price on Vueling.com for the flight from SdC to Madrid, but they are not quoting prices after the end of the month at the moment. The only thing I...

    Where would I fly into with Roncesavalles as a start point?

    If you are starting from the UK, then Iberia is your best bet for a flight to Pamplona (from Heathrow or Gatwick, and via Madrid or Barcelona). It is actually considerably cheaper right now to book a return flight from SdC on the same booking than it is to get a single to Pamplona. (£212 return...

    Class of 2008!

    Thank-you Arn, for the nudge to post in this thread as well. I can't find the words to express how wonderful this forum is. Such a community. If I meet pilgrims like you on the road then I shall truly feel blessed. Fiona

    Bus from Pamplona to Roncesvalles

    After much google-ing I have found the official online timetable of the bus services between Pamplona and Roncesvalles: http://www.autocaresartieda.com/default.html . I think it works with "pop-ups" as once you reach this page you then have to click on "linaes regulares" and then select the...

    buying electric coil water heater in Spain?

    Thanks guys for these thoughts - I think the ones in shops must be old stock. Buying from the USA would be the best idea but only if there was plenty of time left because the p&p is v expensive for airmail. My aunt's elderly neighbour found one in the back of a cupboard - so i have it on loan...

    getting a Credencial in Pamplona?

    thank-you! I'm trying not to "over plan". In fact the only things I intended to organise are the Credencial and my flights there and back, leaving the rest to happen as it will. Thanks for this info.

    Starting soon

    My name is Fiona. I am from London UK and am hoping to set off soon. My plan is to arrive in Pamplona at the end of February and depending on the weather and the date I have to be back in the Uk either set off towards Santiago, or take the bus to Roncesvalles to start there.

    buying electric coil water heater in Spain?

    It isn't possible to buy an electric coil water heater in the UK. I have found only one source that imports them from the USA but the P&P is £14.95! Has anyone seen them for sale in Spain?

    getting a Credencial in Pamplona?

    As I don't have time to get a Credencial in the UK from CSJ before I leave, I shall have to get it in Spain. I'm planning to start in Pamplona, where none of the albergues will open until April. Does anyone knowe if I can just walk into the Cathedral and ask for a Credencial? Is there anywhere...
