    Language on the Camino

    Hola: I finished my second camino this spring. Like another peregrino said , after my first camino I decided to learn some Spanish. I am glad that I did. The experience is better with more understanding. I have a long way to go with learning Spanish but I am still learning more for my next...

    Easter on the Camino - please share experiences

    I agree, I walked Semana Santa this year and spent Holy Thursday in Pamplona, I'm not sure but I think I saw a Cardinal was someones feet! First for me. Puente la Riena for Good Friday, and Estrella for the Easter vigil mass. All very nice. A great time to walk this section of the camino.

    Daily foot care at day's end

    I read Fixing Your Feet: Injury Prevention and Treatment for Athletes it is available on Kindle. It is loaded with practical information and I will bring the electronic copy of it with me in April on the CF. Another good reason to bring a smart phone.

    Waiting is torturous!

    I feel the same way. I start my walk on April 11 from SJPP. Ben Franklin said: those-have-a-short-lent-who-owe-money-to-be-paid-at-easter- If this is correct then we all should be making plans to finish big chores before we leave. Buen Camino

    Walking Camino Frances during Easter 2017

    I am leaving SJPP on April 11, just a day before you! I hope to see you along the way. I also had the same concerns about the Holy week (Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday-- April 9-16) (Semana Santa) so I decided to get a reservation for each night before April 16. For what it is worth, I had no...

    Heading out at Easter 2017

    For whatever it is worth, I was able to make advance reservations every night from Lunes Santo 10-April to Domingo de la Resurrección (Easter Sunday) (Except for Roncesvalles where I assume the albergue will be open.)

    Hi I am 70 years old and I'm going to attempt my first Camino in April 2017

    Gerhard: I am planning to leave St Jean on April 12. So I will be a couple of days ahead of you. But, I plan to start slowly.

    From Barajas to Ponferrada

    In May 2015 I took the overnight sleeper train to Ponferada from Chamartin Station. We slept well enough and arrived very early and started walking. By the time we were out of town it was light and we had a good start on our first day.

    Ponferrada to Santiago

    Hello:Don't Fret! Thousands do it every year. You can too! May 2015 I did my first, and hopefully not my last, from Ponferada to Santiago. I had no blisters but changed my socks and hung them on my pack with huge safety pins at least 2 x during each days trek. I stayed in private hotels...
