    Weather on the Meseta

    I have been walking the Camino Frances in two week chunks. I walked Roncevalles to Logrono in 2015, Logrono to Burgos in 2014, and skipped ahead to walk Sarria to Santiago in 2015 arriving at the Cathedral for my 70th birthday. I am ready to return and fill in the gaps. So, what time of year...

    Abuela on the meseta

    After walking Roncevalles to Logrono at age 68 in 2013, Logrono to Burgos in 2014 and Sarria to Santiago in 2015 to be with St. James on my 70th birthday, I want to go back to the Camino and do stretches I haven't walked before. I hope to walk from Burgos to Sahagun in October. The sparseness...

    Which route after Sahagun?

    Thank you all so very much. Still not sure which way I will go. It will probably depend on where others from Sahagun will be going. Last year, I found that many of the, ahem, "adults" tended to walk shorter distances and I saw many of the same people each evening. I will make sure to keep a...

    Food - photos from the Camino

    And was I surprised at this course as part of the menu del dia at Los Reyes de Jamon in Logrono. I didn't recognize the Spanish name of the dish as recited by the waitress so I asked what it was. She pointed at her hip which was fine since the restaurant specialized in ham. Believe me what...

    Which route after Sahagun?

    Because of age and general decrepitude, I try to limit my stages to 10-15 km per day. (This is a pilgrimage for me not extreme public penance.) Oviously, I am going to go farther sometimes on the Meseta . My planning for the post Sahagun days looks like this: 1) Modern Route: Sahagun-El...

    The new Compostela - certificate of distance travelled

    So a question: how does the distance certificate treat "disjointed" caminos? If I walk Roncevalles to SDC in three separate segments, does the certificate use Roncevalles or Leon, the starting point of the last segment (and ending point of the previous segment) to calculate distance?

    September 2014 Peregrinos

    So where does this calendar come from? Not from Events section of the forum?

    Is A Pre-Camino Recon Trip An Acceptable Plan? Bad Karma?

    I walked from Roncevalles to Logrono last October as a "toe in the water" two week Camino trial. It was a very big stretch for me: 68 years old, relatively un athletic, never been to a Europe before , no Spanish except for phrase book phrases. I was terrified as I had never traveled alone...

    The Corazón Puro now open!!!!!

    I too enjoyed my stay at Corazon Puro in October 2013. I spent a very pleasant half hour with the very gracious hosts discussing Spanish politics and the future of the European Union. I couldn't have asked for a nicer first night on the Camino. When I arrived early on the short walk from...

    Yellow arrows on Brierly alternatives for the cartographically challenged?

    In looking at Brierly's notes for my Logrono to Leon segment , I note that there are several places where Brierly suggests alternatives to the main route, mostly to avoid long stretches near highways. So, are these alternatives marked with yellow arrows or shells? I am severely...

    Temporary Camino Tatoo?

    Do you think we could get enough of us interested to get a shell or arrow without paying high custom cost? http://tattly.com/collections/all

    Can we do some Pillow talk?

    I carried a light weight small blow up pillow. I need a pillow between my knees to protect my back and it helped on the air flights.

    Best cell phone service Logrono to Leon?

    After paying way to much for my verizon international coverage last year, I want to use a Spanish SIM card in my iphone for this years Camino phase. Google map directions seem to use a lot of data even if used only in larger cities. Any opinions (opinions on this forum? Who would think? Grin.)...

    So what's with booking.com

    Thanks to all. It's helpful to know that booking.com doesn't represent all the rooms at a particular place.

    Food for thought on the Meseta!

    Heard a new hymn on Sunday(at least it was new to me): Be still and know that I am God Be still and know that I AM Be still and KNOW Be STILL BE..... Not a bad approach to the solitary walk... although on my first phase last October Roncevalles to Logrono I was visited by so many from my...

    LIVE from the Camino Where is the bus station in Pamplona!

    I should have mentioned that I asked twice and retraced three times WHILE I was using the google maps app on my iphone. The estacion de renfe in Pamplona does not have a large presence at all above ground.

    So what's with booking.com

    I will do the second leg of my religious retreat/outdoor adventure/450 mile pub crawl (aka The Camino) , from Logrono to Leon , to mark the occasion of my seventieth year starting mid-September. As part of my over planning I try to identify hostals/private albergues where I can get a private...

    LIVE from the Camino Where is the bus station in Pamplona!

    The bus station in Pamplona is mostly underground. I had to ask twice and retrace three times before I located the modest above ground escalator entrance. It really wasn't obvious until I was within the block. Luckily I went early in the day to locate the station before needing to be there for...

    List of non-albergue accomodation

    I too am looking for private accommodations but hotels.com is not cooperating. I return to the Camino in the Fall for the second stage of my own particular Camino. I hope to start in early October in Logrono where I left off last year. However, hotels.com is indicating that hostals in Logrono...

    San Mateo in Logrono

    So did you stomp? And the festivities are on the outskirts, down the hill from the Cathedral? Sounds like a worthwhile time-out on the Way! Grin.
