    Accommodations in Pamplona

    Owners will appreciate that. Booking.com and the like are a necessary evil but direct booking is a win-win for owner and guest

    Cell phone use in Spain

    Can you clarify this? Specifically, I use an iPhone 14 Pro Are you saying my phone has 2 SIM card slots? I keep my normal then slide the Spanish in as well? Will the phone default to the Spanish -ie I don't want local nor home area calls going through my regular SIM. Thanks for your insight

    Not what I expected!

    The impact on me personally. Alone with my thoughts for hours... days on end brought a sense of peace I was not even seeking. The brief yet deep friendships The friendly locals The yearning to do it again... which I am this yesr

    Pamplona to SJPP April 15, 2023

    We arrive in Pamplona by train from Barcelona on April 14 around noon. Will carry on to SJPP that day. Hoping for a ride share however bus would be fine. That said, do you have any info on the SJPP bus schedule? I checked Rome2Rio, the route is identified however no schedule? Perhaps it is a...

    Sim card

    I'm new to Whatsapp. Walking in Spain in April. To be clear, if I get a Spanish SIM - data only, I assume my Canadian phone number is still not accessible? Any contacts with WhatsApp can still ring me thriugh that app, and vice versa? Thanks

    New law gathering personal information from travellers in Spain, starting Feb. 2023

    I've had a look and not impressed however it is what it is. I don't believe any number of signatures from foreign peregrinos would sway the Spanish government. My Camino reinforced the 'let it go' attitude that keeps my life simpler and happier. I'm walking again this year and these new...

    Booking Orisson

    No. It is not a traditional albergue. Private accommodation with shared rooms and communal meal. Reservations are absolutely necessary due to limited .....very limited accommodation options for those wanting to break up the Napoleon route into 2 days. Plan B for a great many who can't get a be...

    Booking Orisson

    We are walking mid April, I sent in our Orrisson request... 3 weeks ago, after the panic of realizing Borda already full. I just received our Orrisson confirmation yesterday.

    When do most pilgrims feel like quitting the Camino de Santiago?

    I almost quit just before Lograno: THE WALL On April 25, I hit the WALL.....the pain WALL. I have endured foot blisters all my life. No big deal. The blisters I developed coming over the Pyrenees were big, but that was 8 days ago. The blisters developing on top of blisters?....well, of...

    How much did you spend and what was the total cost of your Camino Frances, start to finish?

    This person simply asked 4 basic questions. Almost all responders inserted preconceived notions, bias assumptions, some becoming quite preachy. Fact is, we have no idea why the questions were asked. This thread is an interesting study in human nature and group dynamics in an online chat...

    Why I am Considering Leaving This Forum

    Your observations echo my frustrations. However they are the same frustrations I have with any and all forums and chat threads I get involved in. For me, the Camino was a microcosm of the world we live in, presented to us in a geared down, time to think and consider format. There were Pilgrims...

    Would it be worth it to photograph the whole Camino Frances

    Todd, welcome. What the Camino taught me is to accept, on the Camino and in life that everyone marches to their own drummer. We encountered peregrinos on such a different wavelength than ours that it was very irritating. Until during a meal one evening, someone stated "Hey! Its their Camino"...
