    LIVE from the Camino Slow Camino de Madrid

    Started my Camino from Tres Cantos this morning. If you’re using the Buen Camino app to navigate out of Tres Cantos, the map did something weird after crossing the highway. But the yellow arrows will steer you right. Be aware if you pick up your credential at the Church of Santiago and John...

    New Monbus Online Ticketing System

    Monbus began selling tickets online about a week ago (June 14?). We booked tickets Santiago-Muxia and Fisterra-Santiago. Payment went through fine, though we never received an email confirmation. Fortunately I took a picture of the confirmation pages, including our record numbers, which...

    Prices for 2022 Accommodations

    I know it’s early, but does anyone have any insights about increases in prices next year for hotels and pensions? I was checking prices in Burgos, and beginning next year they seem to be going crazy! At Urban Burgos, a room that costs just under €30 this month will go for €135 next February...

    The Fragrance of Spain

    For those peregrinos/peregrinas who are nostalgic for the scents of lavender and sage in the Spanish countryside, here’s a link to a NYT article about a perfumier in Spain who offers a “smelling tour” in Catalonia...

    What happens to all the leftover food?

    When we eat from a menu del día, it’s impossible to eat all the soup we are served, or even the main course meats. What happens to the food we can’t eat? I try to eat as much as I can, but the servings are often enormous, and I hate to see food wasted. Buen camino everyone!

    Deba Albergue Closed Sundays?

    I’m confused by the information in Gronze and Eroski, which states: “Horario: De abril a septiembre: 10:00-14:00 y 16:00-20:00 (domingos y festivos cerrado por la tarde) / Resto del año: 10:00-14:00 y las tardes de viernes y sábado 17:00-20:00). Si está cerrada atiende la Policía Municipal (tel...

    Trail runners and mud?

    We’re starting out from St. Jean on April 25 and I’m vacillating about my footwear. I’m trying out new Keen Voyager hiking shoes, and I’m also looking at Brooks Cascadia 12 trail runners (I love my Brooks running shoes and thought the Cascadias would fit about the same). But I’m worried what...

    Labor Day (May 1) Bottleneck?

    May 1 2018, Labor Day, will be a Tuesday. Husband and I plan to fly into Madrid and bus to Pamplona on Day 1; stay overnight in Pamplona; bus to St. Jean on Day 2; and start walking on Day 3. Realizing that transportation and lodging will be crowded for the May 1 holiday, does anyone have...

    Canned tuna and veggie salad?

    Hola to all, Last year I bought a canned tuna and veggie salad at a tienda on the Camino Frances. It was delicious and a great snack when I was running on empty one afternoon. Can anyone identify this by brand? Some friends will start their Camino in a few weeks and I wanted to give them the...

    Madrid to Burgos by bus or by train?

    Would love to hear from Camino friends about taking the bus vs. train from Madrid airport to Burgos. The bus sounds inexpensive, with great schedules and departure right from the airport, within having to actually go into Madrid... But maybe I'm wrong? Many thanks for any suggestions.

    Talking with local people?

    Something I haven't found in the Camino books and accounts I've read: Conversations with local people in the Camino towns and villages. Nothing about how folks earn a living, what they do for fun, how they feel about life in general. Seems like most of the conversations I read about are...
