I have my return flight booked 10 weeks after I get to Europe out of London. I am going to go visit friends in London and I would like to know the easiest way to get from Santiago to London.
Thank you.
I am between jobs right now and am using the threeish months I have to do it. It seems you are quite employable and that you should find something when you get back.
I have a pair of Asolo hiking boots. They have been wonderful to me so far in the breaking in process. I have almost put 100Km on them and no blisters and they are waterproof!
I am going to do the Camino Frances starting in Mid-Feb. I was wondering if anyone at all started in Lourdes and walked to St. Jean? I was debating if I was going to train to Lourdes back to Bayonne and then down to St. Jean or just walk? I didn't realize how close Lourdes was to St. Jean until...

Thanks everyone. I pretty novice at all this, so I am just researching into all my options. I have had two relatives go over but one went in summer and the other went in fall. I am unfamiliar with Valcarlos, and am having trouble finding it on a map.
Hi,
I am looking at starting the Camino in Feb of 2014. I am Canadian and from my reading I see that there is quite a bit of snow in the mountains. Are they completely impassable at this time? My understanding is that there are many routes to get to Santiago so I would like to take the best one...
