Hi all. I'm looking into walking the Primitivo in May 2024. I'll have about 4 weeks, so I'm thinking of starting on the Norte for a week or two and/or walking on to Muxia at the end. I've walked the CF 3 times, so excited fo something new. Just looking for suggestions on where to start on the...
Does anyone have a recommendation for a hospital in Burgos? Got in today, rest day tomorrow, and, wouldn't you know, my daughter slipped in our bathroom and might have fractured her wrist. Thanks
Hi all. I'm currently in Zubiri. We've had spectacular weather crossing the Pyrenees (I brought extra layers based on weather reports from 2 weeks ago- seems like it's done a 360!). I wanted to reiterate what others have said recently: I'd suggest booking at least thru Pamplona. While beds were...
I have a question... I have a reservation at Roncesvalles for May 11 but I've decided to walk on to Burgeutte. I'd like to gift the reservation to someone who needs it. Can I just give someone my reservation number who is waiting in line before I walk on? Thanks.
I have a prepaid reservation for Roncesvalles for 2 people on May 11, 2022. I have decided to walk to Burguette this time as my daughter is immuno-compomised and we've opted for private rooms. I'd like to gift my reservation to someone either on this forum or as I am walking. Does anyone know if...

Hello everyone. I've walked the CF twice in the summer with my daughter. Bringing my husband along for the first time 😂. Thinking of doing the CP from Porto in either late April or late September. Wondering pros/cons for people who have walked at these times. Thanks
Does anyone know if Ryan air will check hiking poles for free in Santiago? Other airlines have done so for me in the past. Not sure about Ryan-if I should pay to check my pack or if they will check them for free.
Thanks

Sorry if this has been asked 1,000,000,000 times but...I am booking a flight from Santiago back to Madrid before my return flight home. Do ALL airlines out of Santiago require collapsible trekking poles to be checked baggage? I am traveling with my daughter and hoping that if we HAVE to check...

Hello. My teenage daughter and I are walking the Camino from Leon in July. She really wants to make it to the coast, but our return flights mean we'll have to give up a day or two of walking. So to make this work, I would like to take a bus so we'll only have a one or two day walk to Finisterre...
