    Walking Partial Camino de Santiago Route: Feasible?

    I believe it is definitely possible. My daughter and I both struggle with our feet (a hereditary condition) and although we fully intend to walk every step of the way, we are open to the idea of catching a taxi if and when necessary - obviously we would then not qualify for our compostelas, but...

    Blogging help needed!

    I can't help with blogging advice, but had to jump in and say how happy I am to hear you'll be blogging again. I'm a longtime follower of your blog and always enjoy your posts :)

    asking for a recommendation about the Camino route.

    Have a look at the blog I created here - we did a 7 day walk from Pamplona to Logrono. We walked reasonably short days as we weren't very fit and I struggle with arthritis. We absolutely loved the walk.

    Where to stay in Viana?

    We stayed at Pension San Pedro last year, it was convenient, clean - nothing fancy, but perfectly adequate.

    Walking The Camino Without Training. Fool's Errand?

    We spent just over a week on the Camino last year, my husband and I are both overweight and were extremely unfit when we started training - our training was a bit of a bust (you can read about it here => my Camino blog) so we were not very fit and still significantly overweight when we began...

    One week on the Camino Frances

    My husband, daughter and I recently did a week-long walk on the Camino, from Pamplona to Logrono. We walked roughly the distances you mention. It was a lovely walk and I'd highly recommend it. I did a blog of our walk, with lots of details and photos, you can find it here if you are interested.

    Where do I store my luggage in Barcelona

    Hi Tony, we are back from our short "taste" of the Camino (it was a wonderful experience!) so I thought I'd update you regarding Locker Barcelona. We found them to be fantastic. We stayed at Hotel HCC Montblanc, which turned out to be a great choice as on the morning that we left it was a very...

    Where do I store my luggage in Barcelona

    We're starting our Camino in 2 weeks, we're planning on storing our luggage at Locker Barcelona (http://www.lockerbarcelona.com/en/) I have been in contact with them via email and all I had to do to secure our lockers for the duration was to pay upfront for a single day. They are giving us a...

    Advance deposits for Albergue reservations

    We recently had to pay a deposit when we booked a private room in an albergue in Lorca - this albergue wasn't on booking.com. It was a bit of a nuisance because the bank charged us quite a steep fee to process the deposit. I can see why they want the deposit though.

    Is it me?

    We are also arriving in Barcelona on the 16th June - we're only walking for a week, from Pamplona - and we feel the exact same way you do, counting the days!

    Tips Please from CF Booking.Com Users

    We are doing a short stretch from Pamplona to Logrono in June. I booked most of our accommodation through booking.com a few months ago. Recently my daughter decided to join us, when I went to book her rooms I found that a couple of places were sold out. This year has been declared a Holy...
