Hello,
I had the same experience two weeks ago after booking some hotels in Nova Scotia. I didn't click on the email, but went directly to booking to check my credit card. It was correct and I didn't make any changes but the email came to me from booking. I answered the hotel and told then...
The same thing happened to me when I started in Le Puy. After my credential dried I put it in a small plastic bag to protect it and headed on. They didn’t even look at that in Santiago. They looked at the date I started in Le Puy and casually flipped the pages to Santiago and that was it. They...
El llar is no longer there. Very sad. There is a new owner with new name. More expensive, not as good and absolutely no atmosphere. I was told by a local that the closing of El Llar was an ugly affair ( my translation). Made me sad.

Hello,
I am hoping walk from Le Puy in 2015 but don't know if it is safe for a woman to walk alone since this route is not as heavily traveled. I am looking for someone to accompany me starting in the spring.
