    Robbed on Camino Portuguese

    I walked the Camino Frances on my own last fall and loved it. I was scared as a single woman, older, walking alone. But that trail is well travelled and you are never on your own long. It was my intent to do the Portuguese trail, likely again on my own. I was told it is less travelled and so you...

    LIVE from the Camino Fed Up...

    What a great group of folks are on this site. Great encouragement, advice and most importantly NO JUDGEMENT whether you choose to stay or go home to pursue another "life Camino". Nice to know if I hit a wall and need a pick me up I can come here. The world should go on a Camino.

    Toronto to St Jean Pied de Port

    Hello GML, I am looking at the Air transat flight to Paris from Toronto that gets in at 11 am too. How long did it take to clear customs in order to get a train ticket? I am going in September 2016 but you can't seem to book train tickets more than 3 months in advance. Is that what you found...

    I looked on Captain Train (got that through another thread here) and there is a train to Bordeaux - St. Jean. Is that already in St. Jean? Where we start the camino? What is SJPP? When I put CDG to Bayonne as the end destination the trip went from CDG -> Bordeaux St. Jean -> Bayonne. So it...
