    Unwise pilgrim seeks advice from wiser ones!

    I think your concerns are valid as a newbie. I'm also walking for the first time in 2 weeks and having never walked it before I'm feeling anxiety, excitment and fear. So in this respect I think those feelings are common among us. In preparing for the Camino I have second-guessed myself with...

    What is the one Albergue that you would say not to miss

    What a great weath of info on albergues especially for us newbies. As a newbie I think (at this point) I'm drawn to the monasteries and places run by nuns or buddhists. That might change after being on the Camino, we'll see. Thanks all for sharing.

    Anyone need footwear/foot advice?

    Koilife the thought of breaking in another pair of boots (not to mention the $$) turns me cold. I'm wondering what would happen if I just wore the Salomoms on the Camino and dealt with the rash. The rash does not hurt nor is it itchy. I would guess that after walking day after day it would be...

    Anyone need footwear/foot advice?

    Hi Greg and all When I started wearing my Salomon Conquest Gortex hikers they were great. Now when I do longer hikes (4-5 hrs) I get a rash (bright red) on the tops of both feet as well as on the back of my legs above the boot. Doc says I’m allergic which I’ve never been in my life...

    Starting from Pamplona

    Tyrrek. Thanks for the post. It was a good reminder for me to "just jump in". I was thinking of staying at a hotel the first nite, but if I stay at an albergue then I'll be with other pilgrims in the morning. Hopefully not solo.

    Starting from Pamplona

    hum . . .couch surfing. Interesting option. I think I'll probably want to be around other pilgrims for my first nite.

    Starting from Pamplona

    I thought albergues close at 9:00pm. Sounds like they're open late. Good stuff. I'll check a map for Plaza de Castillo and find the closest albergue. Thanks Falcon. Got my Canadian credentials (passport) already. Hostel Hemingway sounds good Mr. Walker. Is it close to Camino route?

    Starting from Pamplona

    I'm a newbie to posting but have been reading and learning on this forum for months. Its a great forum with such open-minded folks who are so willing to share. My flight has been booked and I'll be arriving in Pamplona on 17th Sept 2014 and will start the Camino from Pamplona on the 18th...
