    How to Contact Police at Madrid Airport for Report

    MODS - if this is in the wrong place, please put it were it belongs. Thanks. Two weeks ago I misplaced my phone at MAD T4 in the check-in/ticketing area, and the police helped find it. Is it possible to get a report from them, and how would I do that? Please, no comments or questions, just...

    How are the Numbers Leaving Roncesvalles Now - Endish Sept?

    Just curious if there are still lots of folks starting their caminos, now, or have the numbers diminished?

    Sending bag from S Sebastian to Ivar

    First of October, I would like to send a med size wheelie bag from San Sebastian, less than 25 kg, to Ivar for holding for about 7 weeks? Best, least expensive way? Thanks!

    52 Ways to Walk

    A newish book. Has anyone decided to walk a Camino after reading this book? Or have you walked a Camino - maybe a few times - then read it and found more inspiration to walk even more? I'm just curious - I haven't read it.

    Update on using FlightRight if you've had an issue with airlines...

    Follow-up to my recent post about using FlightRight.com. Something to think about if you’ve had problems with airlines. It is a legitimate organization that works on behalf of passengers. The end of October I was on a delayed flight from Spain to western US. It was difficult and inconvenient...

    Problems with airlines? Do you know FlightRight?

    Last October when I was trying to get home, my flight from Madrid to New York was delayed resulting in missing my onward flight. Multiple issues resulted. I didn't want to deal with the airline involved in the delay, and looked around for companies that might handle a complaint for me...

    In Betanzos and need new backpack, maybe

    I'm in Betanzos and need a new backpack - any place local that sells them? The one I've used for years, that fit perfectly, no longer does. Over the four years it's not been used, and I've aged, things have happened. The shoulder straps can no longer be pulled closer to my upper back. Thus they...

    Lost interest in PLANNING next Camino…

    SO... I’ve started plans for many Caminos recently, but they keep getting put aside or changed to a different route. I feel like I’ve lost interest! NOT in walking a Camino - any Camino will do - just the planning part has no interest any more! What’s the deal? Maybe it’s just too early for...

    Gâteau Basque at Orisson?

    On my first night on the Camino (Fall 2013), at Orisson, for dessert we were served a wonderful cream-filled cake. I have always thought it was a version of the Tarta de Santiago — until I just read this article...

    Twelve things you didn’t know about the Camino de Santiago

    ... from El Pais in English - 20 July 2018 https://elpais.com/elpais/2018/07/17/inenglish/1531818503_007985.html Maybe you DO know these things, but they have some bits that were new to me... Enjoy! ¡Buen Camino!

    Connecting Froxa (Norte) with the Inglés

    I wonder -- could one walk from the Norte as far as Froxa - or thereabouts - then "cut" over to Sigüeiro and into Santiago and still get a Compostela? Might one find any waymarkings in that area?

    Looking For Virginia From Henley On Thames

    Virginia lives in Henley on Thames, and walked the Camino Frances Oct & Nov 2016. I met her several times after Ruitelán. Since I will be walking the Thames Path soon, and walking through Henley, it would be nice to see her again - but not looking for accommodation :) Thanks for any...

    Is there a brush fire?

    Am in Hontanas & a helicopter is making trips possibly to the river near here. It seems to be carrying a large bag - to carry water?? Then heading back after dropping low. In the ½ hr I've been sitting here, maybe 7-8 or more trips so far. Any information? Someone here mentioned seeing smoke...

    I just received the sello. Gratitudes. Had a few minutes alone inside with a few tears. Attached is the sign in Muruzabal. Well marked from there.

    Current hours at Eunate?

    Will be near Eunate in the next two days and wondering if there is current information regarding open hours. Last info I see was from @Navarricano in late August. Thanks!! Terry

    Well, I've done it again...

    Only this time, no planning -- on a whim (?) I'm leaving for the Camino Frances in a week - 26 Sept! Seattle to Vancouver to London to Biarritz to Bayonne to SJPP. Hope to start walking on the 28th or 29th via Valcarlos. Seven weeks! :):):):) Any tips on getting last minute flights to...

    Getting from Sahagún to Porto

    Not sure where to put this -- maybe a Mod can help... Doing some last minute thinking - leaving the US in 2 1/2 weeks to walk the Madrid - about 3 weeks - I take my time. Was going to continue on the Frances to Santiago, but now thinking about the Portuguese - about 2 1/2 weeks for me...

    Who will be on the Madrid this April?

    In browsing the Camino de Madrid recently, I noticed several forum members have mentioned they will or might be walking the Madrid this Spring - Anniesantiago, jpflavin1, CK007, don88, HeidiL, maybe Undermanager, Rod the Slob, t2andreo... any others - yet? Just curious, since I'm pretty sure...

    Taxi or bus bypass around Leon

    About mid-May I will be nearing Leon, and would prefer to bypass it and all its outskirts this time. Would appreciate any suggestions and / or tips to make this bypass - possibly taxi or local bus that does not go into Leon. I'm thinking of trying to get from Mansillas de las Mulas to Fresno...

    What to do if hit with a cold at the start of your Camino?

    Began with itchy, sore throat in SJPP, and full blown cold by Roncesvalles. Took a rest day in Espinal, bus to Zubiri where I've been resting all day. Taking usual meds, drinking lots of fluids (non-alcoholic). Have no energy, and feeling sorry for myself. Anyone have suggestions to get on...
