    Solo walking questions

    I, too, walked the Camino alone last year, and I'm so glad I did. I needed to know that I could do this alone and be OK with it. There were hours and hours when I did not see another pilgrim, but I wasn't afraid. However, if presented with danger, your hiking poles would be a good defense...

    Jeff from Ohio RE: Camino May/June 2017

    I met a new pilgrim, Jeff, who was walking his first day on the Camino. We walked and talked rather extensively for about three hours. Then, I reached my alburgue. It rained the last hour. I'm wondering how the rest of his camino went.

    Bicyclists on the Camino - Please Give a Warning

    There were quite a number of bicyclists on the Camino while I was there in May. When the bicyclist used a bell to warn the walkers, it was very helpful. Some type of audio clue is necessary so that walkers can move over to the side to allow bikers to get through. Often times, it happens very...

    Early Morning Pilgrims - Suggestion

    I just returned from the Camino Frances. If you intend to leave the albergue very early (5:30 a.m.), please do not turn on the lights for the entire room and speak in a loud voice. It is disturbing to those who want to sleep until 6:30 a.m. or 7:00 a.m. Please have your backpack packed and...

    Albergues in Pamplona

    I will be arriving in Pamplona on Monday evening around 8:30 p.m. Is that too late to walk to an alburgue from the bus station? Will they allow me in at this late hour?

    Madrid Airport: Are there lockers there?

    Wow! Thanks for the super-prompt response! I checked the website, and it will cost E5.80 per day which would be roughly E210 for the whole trip. The pack travel cover only cost $40 (U.S.). It is too big to carry with me, even if I roll it up. Hmmm....Any ideas? I could try to put my pack...

    Madrid Airport: Are there lockers there?

    I bought a travel cover for my Osprey backpack so that I can check it with the checked luggage. Are there lockers in the Madrid airport where I can keep this cover until I return to fly home 35 days later?

    Starting from Pamplona May 8

    I will be flying to Madrid May 7 and taking a bus to Pamplona May 8 where I will start the Camino. Will anyone be starting in Pamplona that same day? I may end up spending the first day/night in Pamplona depending on how tired I am from the flight.

    I am a teacher, so my semester ends May 18, 2017. I will go to Santiago and have until the end of June. I've read that 10 miles per day is good, but I am new at this. I'm not super athletic, but I'm in it for the long haul.
