    Decathlon Trail Runners...

    Yes. My husband and I were both surprised at the low prices. We each bought a pair of long pants in October that fit well and were well made. My pair was 25 euro and his were convertibles at 35 euro. I may be a little off on the prices but remember thinking that the products were a bargain.

    Where to start in France?!

    Thank you for this response. LePuy is beginning to look like our starting point and it’s good to know you did that trip when you were 70. I celebrated my 70th on the Norte and wanted to walk another Camino before turning 75. I’ve missed that milestone but hope to walk in France next year. Thanks...

    Where to start in France?!

    My husband and I have walked the Frances, del Norte, Primitivo and Portuguese Caminos. We now want to experience a Camino in France but don’t know where to begin. He is currently studying French so we can communicate a bit. I understand and speak some Spanish but no French. How do we begin to...

    Arriving in Biarritz to do the Norte. But I WANT to go over mountains!

    Hi Irishwalker. My husband and I hike all over the US and Europe and we like to climb mountains! Last October we walked the Norte and then thePrimativo and enjoyed both immensely. While neither route has truly significant climbs the Primitivo probably has climbs more to your liking. However...

    Zero Shoes (sandals)

    I am an avid hiker and walker and always got blisters no matter what I did. I thought it was something I had to live with. On my Camino in 2014, I bought women's Keene low hiking shoes, a full size larger than my usual street shoes. No blisters! I used a thin liner sock and a heavier hiking...

    2016 September/October Peregrinos Departures

    Hi, This will be our second Camino and we are SO looking forward to it! We have two "starts." September 5, Pamplona to Burgos. (We're completing a section my Husband didn't walk the first time.) And September 14, Irun to Santiago. Hope we meet some of you on the way.

    What month to walk the Primitivo?

    That's helpful information for me. Thanks. My husband and I are just starting to plan our second Camino and this time we want to walk the Del Norte and the Primitivo. We will be on the Primitivo in October and I was wondering what to expect

    Which Camino next?

    I would also be interested in hearing about the availability of albergues along the Del Norte in September and October. I am just starting to research this possibility and it hadn't occurred to me that albergue room might be a problem! What else haven't considered?!

    Lost "spirit "on camino today

    [QUOTE= In regards to not been admitted after Mass started: I do not see absolutely nothing wrong for the church locals in Santo Domingo de la Calzada wanting people (pilgrims or no pilgrims) to take in the FULL MASS. Before Vatican Council II that was EXACTLY the rule, which was relaxed a bit...

    Has anyone used the Camino Guide App 2.0 or the Camino Frances - A Wise Pilgrim App?

    Do you think you will need the Brierley guide if you have the App? I am leaving May 11 and am in the process of trying to cut back on the weight I carry. The Brierley Guide weighs a ton! If I just take the maps in the front of the Brierley and use the app, will that be enough information?

    Meeting Forum Members along the way.

    Hi Clearskies, When are you walking in May? I'm doing a bit of leapfrogging in that I start May 12 from Pamplona, walk to Burgos and train back to Pamplona to meet my husband on May 23. If your plans coincide with mine at any point, let me know and I'll look for you!

    Will the flowers be over by May?

    Storks?! We sometimes, rarely, see wood storks migrating through Cape May, NJ, in late May, but I never realized they may be seen along the way in Spain! Great news and a very special addition to the journey. Thanks.

    Why does everyone have an opinion!

    You are very encouraging. Tell it like it is!

    Help with accommodation in St Jean!

    Do you also happen to know when the pilgrim office closes? I am meeting my husband in Pamplona on May 23 and going that afternoon from Pamplona to SJPdP. We should arrive by 6pm but that is if all goes according to plan. This is our first Camino and I didn't know there would be such a crunch...
