    Cycling bells a must!

    What is strange to me is that cyclists, who are pressed upon by motor vehicle drivers out on the road, turn around and press on hikers. I don't mind the ring-ding of a bell or a good " Buen Camino" to let me know of a cyclist's approach, and I am happy to share the path. But I do mind when a...

    Fine Private Albergue in Leon Not Mentioned in Brierley Guide

    At this point, we are further down the comfort chain. The difference may be that we know what we know, whereas the students may not know what they don't know!

    Fine Private Albergue in Leon Not Mentioned in Brierley Guide

    Thank you for the link. Yes, there are students around here somewhere, but mostly there are happy smiling faces of fellow peregrino(a)s. This is the best albergue we've stayed in so far.

    Fine Private Albergue in Leon Not Mentioned in Brierley Guide

    Found out about this albergue from friends we met at Orrison who are ahead of us at this point. Its name is Albergue San Francisco de Asis, C/ Alcade Miguel Castano no. 4, telephone 637 439 848. 10 Euros for a clean, quiet room with two bunks and bathroom. Free use of washer and dryer in...

    Still finding full albergues in mid-September

    Last night, we met a peregrina who said the albergues were full so she and about 20 other peregrino(a)s slept outside Saturday night in Longrono. She said there were a lot of drunk people wandering the streets. Not surprised by that.

    Seems to be working well, as that's what we've been doing since skipping over Longrono. It beats the heat (it has been somewhat warm in the afternoon) and allows for a less hectic walk.

    Trail markers

    We've taken a couple optional routes and found them to be well-marked. We saw this marker on the option past Estella on the way to Los Arcos. Humorous, but it was clear which way to continue on. Buen Camino!

    Is starting from Pamplona 'cheating'...?

    There seem to be many ways to do this. Each to their own. Buen Camino!

    Still finding full albergues in mid-September

    Yes it has been busy. We have yet to stay in an albergue that has has an empty bed. After a rest stop in a hostal in Pamplona, hoping the wave would wash over us, we seemed to have picked up a second wave resulting in full albergues where we have stayed in Puenta la Reina, Estella, and Los...

    Not sure that anyone out here now is panicky, just reporting current conditions. For general info, the monastery albergue run by the Padres Reparadores in Puente la Reina is full tonight. There are other options in town but I do not have firsthand info on their availability.

    LIVE from the Camino Made it to Pamplona!

    Wild Place, You are most welcome for the advice and glad it helped. We enjoyed chatting with you and your walking partner relaxing over a coffee today. We, too, are enjoying a rest day in this lovely city and its friendly and helpful people. Buen Camino!

    Hola Christer1! IMHO, too. Wasn't quite expecting it this time of year, but live and learn, I guess. We gave in and booked in Pamplona for 2 nights to let the wave roll by, plus a rest day seemed entirely reasonable after the busyness of the past few days. Buen Camino!

    Hola Santiago_67, yes we did. I don't think you should be too concerned as there is overflow space if needed. Burn Camino!

    I agree. And Burgette is postcard pretty. Buen Camino!

    Hola Jirit! Thanks for the info. We are seeing people heading off in the dark. We also know people are making advanced reservations from comments from fellow happy campers at this albergue. I know there has been discussion on the forum about whether to do that or let the Camino provide. It was...

    Best roaming sim to buy for the camino

    Don't know. I'll defer to others with more experience. Buen Camino

    Yes, after scurrying about like a couple of ants, but all is well. This is a very nice albergue and the pilgrim's dinner was delicious. Staff is also very nice. Highly recommend. BTW, they opened up the old building at Roncevalles last night to handle the overflow.

    We left at first light. We're not keen to start out in the dark. Guess the crowd is a mixed blessing. Thank you for your thoughts. Buen Camino
