After making SJPDP to Fromista,dad suspects he may have a stress fracture. If we end up making some changes are there any issues with doing 10k days and sending his bag ahead from Sarria? Trying to figure out what are options are as we talk with the docs this morning.
Tanks!!
Do you know find yourself with a pair of black smart wool men's underwear that aren't yours? I'd so, let me know! You grabbed my dad's off the laundry line!
Thanks!

Greetings!
My father and I are planning on walking the Camino Frances, departing SJPDP on May 30. I've booked Orrison and Roncessvalles, and then planned to take things as they come - much as I did when I did my first camino in 2017. Dad has dived head first and the latest wave of camino...
So, somewhat of an unusual request.
I hiked the Camino last summer - oh goodness, two summers ago now. Man, how time flies! :D Anyway, while I was in Burgos, I went to the Monastery of Los Heulgas, and they had a book I wanted to get. It was 5 lbs, and not wanting to carry the weight, and...
Finished my Camino yesterday. Really good experience, but I want to go out to the ocean. After checking with the tourism office, there will be no bus service from Tuesday on. This leaves me with three days, walking to the ocean is out. I would like like to go to both Finesterre and Muxia, but um...
So it's my first camino starting June 1 from SJPdP, and I have until July 11. Should be plenty of time, and I'm planning on Finesterre/Muxia as well.
I, like many Americans, first saw The Way with Martin Sheen and decided that the Camino was something I wanted to do (I will admit it took almost...
So I'm 6 weeks out from departure. I feel like I should be freaking out for my first camino. I haven't done a full pack on my gear yet, there still one or two things I'm trying to nail down on my gear as well. I still need to send my backpack belt off to be exchanged, as well as finish booking...
I'm trying to work some logistics for the end of my Camino. I'm trying to keep to 25 km days, but need to schedule some tourist travel after the camino. So thoughts on what is possible please.
1) When I arrive in Santiago - can I get my compestella the next day? I'd rather not wait in a line...
I'm staying in Orrison on my camino, and I'd like to stay off the main stages as much as possible. Is there an albergue/pension/whatever past Ronncenvalles that offers a shuttle back for the pilgrim's mass?
Thanks!
Erin
Hola!
I start my first camino this June. Many thanks to Ivar and all the forum members for the invaluable tips I have gleaned over the last year and a half of preparation. I've never done anything like this, so it'll be interesting. The plan is to start from St. Jean on June 1, overnight in...
Planning question, I'm starting my first Camino this summer from St. Jean. I am hoping to stay at Orrison my first night, mostly for an easier start to the Camino. With flight connection times, the earliest I can arrive at St. Jean is on the 7:15 pm train. The other option I have is to spend the...
