    Travelling from Bercianos to Santiago (via bus or train)

    I am serving as a Hospitalara in Bercianos May 1-15. I plan to bus or train from Leon to Sahagun, then walk the next day into Bercianos. I want to see what pilgrims see as they arrive in Bercianos. I am glad to hear that Michael Blankschen had a good experience, I am super excited.

    SJPDP to Orisson?

    I agree with Martin888. Talk time to ponder your coming Camino while in St. Jean. Get a good night's sleep, visit the pilgrim's office, and experience the lovely town. Then start early for Roncevalles. I booked a room at Orrison and ended up skipping it and going all the way. I was tired but it...

    Orthotics

    I had this exact same experience. Took the orthotics in and had them shaved. Took the boots back and exchanged them for 1/2 size bigger. Do it!

    Raincoat or poncho?

    I walked during those same dates in 2016. I carried a rain jacket and rain pants. I had very little rain, just some sprinkles on two days. I used the rainpants to sit on in the woods and I used the rain jacket to stay warm in high altitudes. I'm planning the Portuguese route this summer but I...

    Terrain on Portuguese Camino

    Did you stay in municipal albergues? Were there enough (cheap) choices? I walked the Frances in 2016 and it was freeing to be able to decide where to stay as you go. Can you do that in Portugal? (I always stopped early between noon and 15:00)

    ‘Senda da Orla Litoral’ or ‘Caminho da Costa’ along the Portuguese coast

    How was your camino in Portugal? I am considering the Coastal route with a friend next summer, 2018. I have already done walked Camino Frances. Are the albergues as plentiful and cheap?

    will my old shoes ever fit?

    I finished in July, and have given up all pre-Camino shoes. No hope. Sorry.

    Fear of heights

    I have a fear of heights, but I had no trouble in the mountains when my feet were on the ground. My trigger was the pedestrian bridges that go over the highways, with traffic zooming by at great speeds. These bridges are outside cities and very safe, but it took all I had to get over them...

    Monte de Gozo Albergue--What's Up

    I am here now and yes the design is odd. However, the albergue is clean and the facilities no worse than any other albergue I have stayed in since St. Jean. I got the throw away sheet and a blanket and the grounds are peaceful, full of beautiful flowers. And there is a restaurant here, we're...
