    Getting Worried

    Hi! I am starting out from Seville on the 4th of April. I think these last minute jitters are normal, I had them before I walked my previous two Caminos, and everything seemed to fall into place nicely. Once you actually get there, and start walking, the worries drop away and you quickly...

    VDLP APRIL 2016...Seville...Who's starting out on the camino in April?

    Thanks for those suggestions. As far as accommodation in Santiago is concerned, in 2013 I stayed in a private room at the Seminario Menor, it was basic but the kitchen downstairs was well equipped with lots of eating area. It was quite quiet, ( I stayed there in mid October), and I would...

    Rest days between Burgos and Santiago

    When I walked in 2009 and 2013, I enjoyed breaks at ( in no particular order) : Burgos, Leon, Sarria, Astorga, Ponferrada, and Carrion de Los Condes. Although a bit early in the walk, Pamplona or Logrono would be a good candidates. I tried to choose places that had something interesting to...

    Mid weight fleece OR wind jacket ... Or both?

    I have walked the camino twice, both times took a light weight fleece and a waterproof rain jacket, and both got used regularly.

    when to walk the VdlP?

    The three somewhat dated guide books I have all say the spring or fall is the best, the summer heat can be pretty intense. I am starting in early April this year. A person from our town started in mid March last year and ran into snow! Weather is so unpredictable these days, and Spain seems...

    Camino Sanabrės

    HI! I have read with interest the comments on the best time to walk this part of VDLP. I am planning on starting from Seville on April 4th or 5th, and I have til the first week of June to complete the walk, which I think will be plenty of time. I guess my concern is whether I am starting too...

    Recent Robbery on 2nd day out of Seville

    Hello Felix, I am planning to walk the Camino VdlP starting April 5 2016. I noticed from reading the thread that you were walking on the same date. Can you give me some insight on your experience? I have walked the Frances route twice, so have some Camino back ground. I would be most...

    Transportation from Santiago to Biarritz

    Hi! I have done the same thing twice, ( fly out from Bayonne Biarritz after completing the Camino. I took the train from Santiago to Bayonne, it is a full day trip and gets you to Bayonne about 9PM at night after a morning start ( around 9 as I recall ) from Santiago. Fare was reasonable, I...

    3 days is this normal

    That is a natural reaction, once you walk a day or two and get into the routine of the Camino you will sleep just fine; believe me after walking 25 or 30 or more KM in a day, with a pack on your back, you will sleep! Buen Camino!

    How easy is it to get ice on the Camino?

    No more difficult than getting ice in any other first world country.

    Accommodation at Viscarret and Zubiri

    I suggest you reserve at the private albergue Plano de Avellano in Zubiri, when I was there on Sept 11 2014 it was full by 2pm and they were turning people away. I had booked online ahead of time and got a bed, a lot of pilgrims ended up in a gymnasium.

    My Credit Union has blocked ATM transactions in Spain

    I live in a small town in British Columbia and I walked the Camino in Sept-Oct 2013, never had a problem with my credit union debit/atm card. I did not even tell them I was going! Must be your credit union that's the problem.

    The Delicate Matter of Toilet Paper on the Camino

    Having just completed my second Camino on the Frances this past fall , I agree the problem of human waste and mess is serious. One would think that with the tremendous amount of traffic now using the trail, and the greatly increased economic spin offs that come from all those pilgrims, that the...
