What to do with a week after Camino?
I ended up staying in Santiago for another five days. Arrived on a Friday and flew out on the following Tuesday. We had planned on continuing on to Finisterre but I came down with a 24-hour bug on that Saturday evening and was down-for-the-count for about 36 hours. Based on that experience...- Pita

Sarria to Santiago Documentary--The Four Minute Pilgrimage
I agree. As a fellow Yank, I did the Camino Frances in May-June 2014 from SJPDP. The last 106km as shown in this video are accurate. I don't begrudge the pilgrims who started in Sarria, in fact, we met some who were as close as to us as those who started from SJPDP some 3 weeks prior. The...- Pita

The last 100 km
I did SJPP to Santiago in May and June of this year. My final "Camino family" consisted of a mix of 10 of us - about half had started in SJ while the others started in Sahugun or Siarra. Where you start the Camino is not as important as who you finish the Camino with (and who you are when you...- Pita

May 2014
Stepping off from SJPP on Sunday, 11 May. I am walking it with my cousin from Texas whom I haven't seen in 28 years. It will be a good reunion.- Pita

Crossing the Pyrenees
I agree with your comment. I am starting my Camino from SJPP next month, but I've been to the Pyrenees before and I don't think they're an imposing mountain pass. It will probably be an long uphill hike. I'm sure I'll be tired at the end of the day but I think I (and most others) will get up...- Pita

Starting in early May
An update on the current weather in Europe... This was one of the warmest winters on record in the Netherlands and for much of Europe. As I am writing this (7 April) I have the windows to my office open on a balmy spring day here in The Hague. Last year this time we were still getting...- Pita

Starting Late May 2014 in SJPP
If knives are confiscated on buses or trains in Spain I'm sure a French cavalry sword will probably not go unnoticed by the authorities. A corkscrew is probably a more subtle way to open a bottle of wine and is a lot lighter to carry than a cavalry sword. You can also open a bottle of wine...- Pita

Starting in early May
I live in the Netherlands and last year was a particularly long and cold winter here. I remember having the heat on in my house well into June. I don't know if the weather was unseasonably cold in Spain last spring as well, but I am hoping that the stories we have heard from you and other...- Pita

Starting in early May
I'm probably starting at SJPP on May 11 or 12. My cousin may be joining me, but no definite plans yet. On a related note, has anyone started their Camino from Biarritz rather than taking public transportation to SJPP and starting there. It seems that if we're walking anyway why not start by...- Pita
