    English on the Camino Frances

    I've heard that generally, the further south in Europe you go, the less English you'll encounter. That said, the Camino, for good or bad, has become a tourist route. So I'm expecting at least to be able to get by with SOME English. That said, I do know the basics of Spanish, albeit of the Latin...

    NYC to Bilbao to SJPP and Santiago to Bilbao back to NYC

    Nice, I'll definitely check out the Guggenheim now; looks amazing. Looks like the bus option via Burgos is the best option for me then. Thanks for the advice!

    NYC to Bilbao to SJPP and Santiago to Bilbao back to NYC

    Similar situation for me, I'm leaving from NYC to Bilbao in July (seems to be the cheapest US flights to northern Spain). I'm going to start my walking though from Leon. What's the easiest and/or the cheapest way to get there from Bilbao? Also, in case I decide to spend a day or so in Bilbao...

    Review of "The Way" with Martin Sheen

    Just FYI, this film was put on Netflix for streaming sometime recently, and it's been getting a ton of good reviews and a lot more exposure than it had before during its limited release. I watched it last night, and it did a great job of getting me excited for my first camino this coming summer.

    I have three weeks. What's a good start point?

    Hey everyone, this is my first post, so excuse me if I'm asking a dumb question or if it's answered somewhere here already. Title says it all. I'm looking at flying into Bilbao from the US Around July 28th and leaving from the same on either August 20th or 21st. I'm a pretty fit guy; lots of...
