First thing i can remeber is COLD SHOWER in the alberge (it is sad so may albergs have showers whic cannot aloud to regulate heatnes of wather.
Second - ice, for which a ask at the local bar, when i rested. And a basin of really cold water at the end of my walking.
3. My camino friends, who...
Sojourner, i'm sorry for your bad experience.
Something similar happened to me on my first Camino. On my 6th day, i walk 32 km to Vianna. It was my first time i was walking such a distance. But when i came to Vianna, i found out there is no bed for me. It was shock. But i really wanted to be a...
Definitely private Albergue in Ventosa, San Saturnino.
Hospitaliera was like an angel to me. Great place, nice and friendly.
Even when you are not staying there, hospitaliera is so nice, and take care fo you if you are in trouble.
On my 3. camino, i'll definitely stay there.
Hola to everybody.
I think i owe you a report about my camino. Yes, i did it. In my way.
It was soooo diferent from my first camino. And quite hard for me.
On my second day, early in the morning i broke my camera. And just before my sleeping, i get message from home, that father of my best...
Oh... I really want to read that book.
I'm from Europe, and if there is a book (in english) for me, i would be very happy.
And of course, when i would read it, i would sand it to another pilgrim (if someone wants to read it).
It's me... And I'm alive.
Sitting in alberg in Punete la Reina and enjoing Camino life.
Am i afraid? A little bit, yes!
But i'm walking any way. And hopefully i'll walk 20 days more (i dont have more time).
Thank you for helpull advices and good wishes.
Buen Camino.
Ajda
Thank you all for answers.
Yes,it is true. Fear is a crippler. And its too much over me last year. I think this is the reason i decided to walk Camino again.
Tomorrow is the day for flight to Bilbao and than bus to Pamplona. And the day after tomorow i'll start walking.
"Feel the Fear and...
Why is so hard? I just can't believe i posted some post about not to be afraid of walking Camino. But now - it is just the same as it was before my first camino:
I'm afraid. A lot. Sometimes i think i should stay at home. But i know i'll be sorry for rest of my life.
I think its better just...

Im just not sure, if i need to by ticket in advance (i'll come to Bilbao at 16.30) or is it ok to buy it on the bus statinon? Does anyone know?
Hello!
it's me again. I found this website - ALSAbus timetable.
Now i have new question.
My plane landed 16.30. Bus from Bilbao to Pamplona leaves at 18.00.
How long does it take to come from airport to central bus station in Bilbao? Will i have enough time to catch the bus to Pamplona?
So, decision is made. I'm back for the Camino.
22 days on the way. Starting in Pamplona, ending in Ponferrada.
And my problem? I dont know how to travel from Bilbao to Pamplona (I found one link on this pages, but i cant find it any more).
My second problem? I dont know how to travel from...
Hahaha Caminando... I think i have read this words before on the forum. Am i right? :D
It's no my intention to frightened people. I just want to tell my experience. And i know it would be easier if someone told me this could happend. But everybody before my camino said: "No, you dont need...
I found sleeping mat very useful.
I walk my first camino from july 16 to august 13. I didnt find bed for 6 times. First (it was my 6x day on camino) it was shock for me. After 32 km woman in alberg said to me there is no place for me. Not really in nice voice. I was almost crying. And i was...
Some time (months) ago i read a story about yellow arrows on the Camino Frances, about the man with the brush and yellow paint. Now I want to find it (i think - but im not sure - it was a blog or something). I was looking around and read a really old topic on the forum and i cant find it.
Can...
I'm pretty sure how to get from Biarritz to SJPDP. But I'm not so sure about getting from Leon to Valladolid (I'm flying with Ryanair).
On http://www.tgv-europe.com I saw there is a train conection to Valladolid, so there shouldn't be a problem, I guess.
My question now is: Do i need to...
What about firs half of Camino Frances - from SJPDP to Fromista? I guess there is a lot of people.
But - is it so much people as in the last part? (from Ponferrada to Santiago)?
Thank you for your answers.
Thank you for your very hepful answers.
I know it's not the best thing to book all the way. But on the other hand it would mean some kind of safety (for me) - i would know i have a bed somewhere on the way. Randi thank you for warning about gites and meals.
The Puy route - is very lonely...
I'm dreaming of walking Le Puy route. So far, this is only a dream, but still got a few questions
Is it possible to book accommodation in advance the whole month? (I don't speak french, so i would ask my friend at home to make call for me from my home)
Is 1700€ enough for walkin from Le Puy to...
When i read your post, i saw me in it.
Last year i walk my first Camino. It was the best time of my life. But... Before (and sometimes on Camino) it was really hard.
I was afraid of flight.
I was afraid of being alone.
I was afraid I'll go to the wrong way.
I was afraid not to find yellow...
