    Favorite albergues on the Primitivo?

    I can't find a recent thread on the subject, and considering everything I figure we could use a new one. I just spent the night at Fontenonaya and it was an absolutely wonderful Albergue experience. A privado, it's simple but super cozy and warm both figuratively and literally. Nicolas the...

    LIVE from the Camino Where is everyone right now? October 2021

    Pulled into Santillana del Mar, where we'll be staying for the night. Ultimate goal is Primitivo and then FisMuxia. Curious where all the other active walkers are currently hanging out.

    This ONE SIMPLE TRICK ensures that you can, indeed, camp the Camino del Norte

    Just a quick note to my fellow tent-livers as this was something I was super curious about prior to starting my trip. First off, YES - you can absolutely camp pretty much every stage of the Camino del Norte. BUT - I can only speak to my own experience. For example, I don't know if this "trick"...

    Skippable Stages?

    Currently on Norte and it's starting to look like we may need to yellow blaze a few stages in order to make it to Muxia by our end date of Oct 30. If we had to bus or train past a stage or two, which would be the best ones to skip? Would it be better to skip one or two stages entirely, or just...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD What are the odds of another lockdown?

    Spain's highest court recently ruled the past lockdown "unconstitutional." And though the ruling doesn't guarantee that another lockdown won't happen, I wonder if it's at least less likely now. I wonder this because I bought myself a ticket to Madrid back in April (long before Delta started...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Folks that were on the Camino when lockdown hit: what happened next?

    Where were you when Spain locked down? Did you stay on the trail or return home? How difficult were things? I'd love to hear your experiences.

    Non-train means of getting from Bayonne to SJPP (alt: anyone wanna split a taxi on 19 Oct?)

    My train from Biarritz to Bayonne tomorrow (19 Oct) puts me in at 10:20 and the next train from Bayonne to SJPP doesn't leave until almost 15:00, over four hours later. Are there any alternative means of transport? I checked the buses but they all take over four hours to make a one-hour trip...

    Where to find ride shares from Biarritz to SJPP

    I need to leave Biarritz on 19 October after 10:00am and the buses / trains take longer than I'd like. Outside of posting on this forums, what are some good ways to find a carpool / ride share to St Jean from Biarritz? So far I've checked BlaBlaCar and a few other carpool sites, but to no avail...

    Walking in Oct & Nov — Norte or Frances?

    ¡Hola! I'll be walking the Camino for the first time from roughly 20 Oct through 29 Nov and was originally planning on walking Norte, but the more research I do, the rainier and colder it sounds like it's going to be. It also sounds to be a lot more desolate, and while I'll be walking for...
