    Languages on Le Puy?

    I'm considering walking Le Puy in 2016. I'm a language hobbyist. I already speak French and Spanish. When walking the Frances in Spain, I often found myself wishing that I could communicate in Italian or German. If I were to learn the basics of a language other than french before Le Puy...

    Things that I would do differently

    I have no real regrets from my camino, but there are a few things that I'd do differently the second time around! I figured I may as well share, just in case someone finds themselves in the same position that I was in. If I could start again, I would… 1) Go inside the church in Santo Domingo...

    My four favourite albergues on the Camino Frances

    I walked the Camino Frances with my dad from mid-March to late April of this year. I thought I might share some of my favourite albergues along the way! A Raboleira in Fonfria (10 euros) Fonfria itself isn't much to look at it. It's not a particularly beautiful town, although the walk in and...

    emergency blanket?

    After much hemming and hawing, I now have a plastic bag weighing 400 grams - all stuff that I've taken out of my backpack. I'm ok with most of it (although I really *would* like to bring that novel…), but I'm not sure about the foil emergency blanket. At 80 grams, the foil emergency bag is...

    My March/April packing list - opinions welcome!

    I'm heading out for my very first camino in three weeks. I'll be walking with my dad from mid-March until the end of April. I'm nervous and excited, and I'd love some opinions from the experts on my packing list! I haven't yet decided if I'm going to bring my slightly heavier 40l bag (which...

    accommodations in SJPdP

    Bonjour! I'll be in SJPdP mid-day on March 17th. After looking carefully at all of the albergues that I bookmarked, it turns out that none of them are open yet! If I understand correctly, I can't stay at municipal albergues unless I walked, but I'll be arriving in SJPdP by train. Any suggestions...

    Novels along the way?

    Do some albergues have "take-one-leave-one" libraries? I can read in Spanish, French and English. I don't want to bring an e-reader, and I doubt that one novel will last me the whole trip - but I really would like to have a book with me. I'm starting the walk in March, and I think that cool...

    Is SJPP safe at night?

    If we were to arrive in SJPP by train at 10:30 at night, would we be tempting fate? We'd obviously be carrying everything we own on our backs - I'm wondering if petty thieves target the SJPP train station, seeing as how so many foreign pilgrims start their camino there. Any tips? edited to add...

    I Booked My Flight! (errr…should have researched first…)

    First: I'm so excited! We've purchased our flights. We will arrive in Paris on March 16th. And we leave from Paris on April 29th. WE'RE GOING!!!! Second: I should have researched more first. Getting from Santiago to Paris is seeming more and more complicated. I see flights on Vueling for 120...

    15C sleeping bag warm enough?

    I'm walking the camino frances from mid-March to late April. I prefer to bring my own sleeping bag, rather than using albergue blankets. What rating of sleeping bag do you recommend for the allergies in early Spring? Is 15C too light? Thanks!

    Arriving in Santiago on Easter Sunday or Monday

    We were looking at the calendar yesterday, figuring out flights - and we realized that we'll probably be arriving in Santiago on Easter weekend (either Easter Sunday or Easter Monday). What will that mean? Is there anything that we should know in advance? I think it will be very special to...

    March Camino

    Hello Forum! My name is Stephanie. (I have another username on this site - stelrey - but I've stopped using that email address, so I made a new account. I would have deleted my old account if I'd known how. I hope this is ok. If not...apologies!) I'm a 35-year-old woman living in rural Eastern...
