I walked the Camino in 2016, my husband walked it this year. I carried almost 8 pounds of cat food (wet and dry) and would replenish my supply whenever necessary. At times I’d see locals feeding them and I’d donate my cat food to them; they were always extremely grateful and it gave me an...
I have arranged transport from Pamplona to SJPDP on April 6th, leaving from airport around 2-2:30pm. Currently I’m the only passenger so if anyone is looking for a ride let me know.
Hi Laura
I heard back from Ivan at the transport company and he said the cost is $125. He also said he tries to find riders to help defray costs.
What time do you land in Pamplona? I get in around 1:30 from Madrid on Iberia.
Hi Laura
Currently the bus schedule does not go out that far. If it coincides with my flight time into Pamplona I believe it is around 10 euros. It does take about 1.5 hours.
Today I was given a name of a transport company who will try to organize a shared transport with other pilgrims. I will...
Hi,
I'm leaving on April 6th for my first Camino Frances. How was your experience with this in total with this app? Did it really help keep you on track? Are there ways to set alerts if you go 'off' in a certain spot?
Thanks,

Hi All,
I begin my walk on April 8th. Thus far the only maps I've seen consist of on-line "where to find restaurants, albergues, pharmacias, etc."; all of no interest to me. Then there's The Guide book which has a map so tiny even with my reading glasses it is difficult.
Here's my...
I too arrive on the 7th and will begin walking on the 8th...not sure how far the first day at this point. Just returned from the doctor's office to have my knee x-rayed. It's testing me, I'm sure of it. I've run so many miles over the years and never had a single problem...arggg.
I will be starting the Camino Frances in April and have been going through so many trials in mid-level boots, trail shoes, etc. I run and have 3 different types I run in; all comfortable. But, I'm at a loss on this whole hiking in boots thing. I've tried 5 different mid-level boots and I...
I am staying in Las Herrerias over night and then the plan was to have a leisurely walk up to O'Cebreiro. :)
I did find one place, Casa Lucas, which is 12K past O'Cebreiro from what I can tell. Is that a sane hike going from Las Herrerias to Fonfria?
thank you for such a prompt reply. yes, i have emailed directly but no response. i'll look into Laguna and maybe it's better to stay just before o'cebreiro?
the food. well that will be interesting too as i'm vegetarian and i keep seeing all the posts about the wonderful 'meat' meals...
I too am having a time finding a hotel accommodation in O'Cebreiro and hearing so much chatter about rude people...hmmmm. I arrive there on 10 May and I'm also beginning to realize all the hotels I've booked may, or may not, have my room when I arrive. I guess I'm in for quite an experience...
I will be in O'Cebreiro, if all goes well, on 10 May, and I am having a very difficult time finding accomodation. I have emailed the Hotel O'Cebreiro and evidently they are full. I've also emailed the Venta Celta but haven't received a response there either. I don't speak Spanish so I'm not...
Have you determined the train you will catch from Biarritz and how to get from the airport there to the train station? Sounds as though I'll be on a similar path but from the States.
