    Unfortunate, but true...

    There are a number of companies in the Burgos area that rent bicycles that can be dropped off in the León area. That way you can see all of the meseta under your own power and save some days.

    Making friends when starting the Camino later

    See, you've made friends already.

    What are your favorite Camino misspellings on the forum?

    Also, in print and not sound related, they can identify the meaning of a word as in "Sí, si puedes" ("Yes, if you can").

    Huesca - Camino Aragonés

    @beccamitch, that reminds me. Shortly after Sarsacumuella there is a side trail from the Catalan to Mirador de Buitres, Vulture Overlook.

    Huesca - Camino Aragonés

    Note that Gronze has Bolea to Santa Cilia on the Aragonese as two stages but there is no lodging at Peña Estación. Figure on three days, Bolea - Sarsamarcuella - Ena (or Botaya) - Santa Cilia. I say bring food for these stages. There is a local social club in Sarsamarcuella where you might get...

    What are your favorite Camino misspellings on the forum?

    I cringed every time Peg's name was used on our trip to New Zealand.

    Weird Yoda.

    Am I the only one perplexed by WhatsApp?

    Repeating what @peregrina2000 wrote above, mobile numbers in Spain are nine digits long and start with either a 6 or a 7 (an exception is that numbers starting with a 70 are not mobile numbers). Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_numbers_in_Spain

    San Martin it is then.

    How to choose a Camino Prep Fitness Program?

    See the book The New Aerobics by Dr. Kenneth Cooper, an update on his slightly older Aeobics. There is a version specifically for women also. The books are old but the advice still holds. You get points for meeting cardio goals by walking or running but other means too. There are programs to...

    Pilgrimage or vacation?

    Dictionary. com defines vacation as: a period of suspension of work, study, or other activity, usually used for rest, recreation, or travel; You meet the first part and so others assume the second part. You could say "On my time off/away I'm going on a pilgrimage." "Yeah, you oaf; a pilgrimage...

    Am I the only one perplexed by WhatsApp?

    My guess is they weren't near the phone. Try a text message. Here I suspect that somehow you had the incorrect country code after the +. I'm still new to WhatsApp though so someone else may come up with a better response. Edit: that looks like @DoughnutANZ who finished writing before I did.

    Little sculptures

    "No, it wasn't me!" Another ... from what I believe was the moved church in Portomarin.

    Spain total solar eclipse, August 12, 2026: Are camino towns preparIng?

    Figure out the angle of viewing; since it is near sunset it is probably to the southwest. The sun will be low in the sky so seek a spot with no hills, buildings or trees in the way. Maybe hike up a mountain.

    WhatsApp, pay in advance?

    Also, if you are suspicious and the URL looks good do not click the link. Type in the URL into a browser, don't do a copy and paste. Some letters that look like they are in the Latin alphabet may be similar looking letters in another alphabet and you could end up at a faked website.

    What’s the difference between my two chargers?

    This post will only interest a few technically inclined readers. Today on my morning YouTube viewing the following video was presented to me (I swear that I didn't seek it out). The channel DiodesGoneWild tears apart chargers to examine them. Most are found to be dangerous but this one passes...

    The Camino for LGBTQ

    @Xose, I don't know what questions you will be asking because we haven't interviewed (and there's a good reason for that). I do suggest a possible direction for the way to go through. Two things about a pilgrimage on the caminos that wouldn't show up on other papers on sexuality and religion are...

    Journalist group promoting the Valcarlos route

    If the ALSA bus ever does stop in Valcarlos (or Arnéguy) I'll be telling pilgrims wanting to go to SJPdP to walk the Route Napoleon to get off the bus there and walk to SJPdP.
