    Logrono to Burgos

    Martin the other option on Ryanair that is fairly easily followed is fly to Biarritz and then bus to San Sebastian and bus to Logrono. From memory from the last time the connections work really well. But Madrid to Logrono should work as well...depends on what prices you are getting for either...

    Bilbao to Estella - is it possible?

    Laura Last Easter we travelled by bus from Biarritz airport to San Sebastian and then from San Sebastian to Estella. It all worked like clockwork, as indeed have any of the various spanish bus routes we were looking at. I spent a lot of time looking at various options and ended up realising that...

    Help request for my first camino

    You are planning on walking in Gallicia in August so there is a chance there will be rain..have a good look at this link: .http://www.holiday-weather.com/galicia/averages/august/ My first Camino trip was early August for the Santiago to Finisterre trip and I brought little rain protection...

    Only used my bell once

    People are people and my view is as walkers and cyclists they are all blessed to be enjoying the fabulous countryside. I really appreciate a bell from a long way back, but I also understand that there are lots of twists and turns that the oncoming cyclist may not see me till the last minute so...

    Water in the Pyrenees

    A note of caution on water...we did the day from SJPP to Roncesvalles at the end of October and a lot of people were caught out to find out that Orisson was closed. At the same time when we got to the Roland fountain there was a very slow trickle of water. Evidently earlier in the day there was...

    Belorado to Dublin

    ST J Pd P to Belorado in 12 days is very doable. I was there a week ago(well we walked Lorca to Burgos) and took a bus from Burgos to Madrid. It should be very easy to get into Burgos from Belorado and then it is 2.5 hours to Madrid. As it turned out I would have preferred the Bilbao route that...

    Multiple disabilities?

    Kati I really admire what you are doing and allowing yourself being vulnerable by outlining your own personal challenges. In terms of verbal communication with anyone providing services I would imagine there will be minimal difficulties as the transactions you handle on the camino on albergues...

    A Camino Race - Really

    I am fascinated by the level of agitation that this event is causing. I wonder did the locals who were using the paths for whatever commercial/social reason they originally had look aghast at the first pilgrim(or the first modern day pilgrim with a backpack) with a sense of trepidation as to why...

    Birthday in pamplona - suggestions to celebrate?

    Well to endorse the suggestion on Gauchos: I was doing a week on the Camino at the end of October/beginning of the November and of the small group of us who had gotten to know each other between St J P d P, one of the couples had gotten engaged near the river a bit outside Larrasoana. We...

    Tui to Santiago

    I would endorse Albertinho's suggestion. I did the Portugues from Valença in 5/6 days last Easter. There were some very short days to stretch it to the 6 days. The route is very doable and very enjoyable. The extra hour or two in Valença with the fort, the bridge and a coffee in the White Clover...

    Happy Christmas.

    Yerra it is no harm to put a bit of Irish onto an Irish initiated thread: Nollaig shona agus athbhliain faoi mhaise daoibh go léir.

    LIVE from the Camino I am a Camino Thief ;-(

    So many people are walking around on the camino with little stones in their pockets that there should be plenty of ammunition when someone finally accepts Jesus's invite to the the first to cast them. I bet he never though when he issued the invite that finally someone would accept it and throw...

    November is the Camino month :)

    Well being two days ahead of you....staying in puenta la reina tonight you probably already know there is nothing or very little open between zubiri and arre...it is the same at the end of this stage..coffee shop in muruzabal open but uterga not today...so things are closing as the days go on...

    A week on the Camino Frances starting Sunday 30th October

    Just putting this up to make it appear on the calendar...a feature I have actually not noticed before! The weather forecast is looking good but I am wondering if we will be walking our way up the hill with either the equivalent of the broom wagon from the Tour de France or a van containing...

    What makes the Camino so magical (to you)?

    It could possibly be that you have time to think...for example:

    Santander to Pamplona

    Just search on alsa.es I find that always works.

    From today's paper

    In plain English whether you are walking on the Camino or in London make sure to look left and right and be careful at crossings of main roads and railways. My interpretation of the article is that it is the standard local government item where someone raises a flag to improve their own...

    Slowing down

    You are a lucky woman to have someone in your life so supportive! The only word of caution I would add is that last year I developed plantaars and did not treat it as kindly as I should, leading to me having to abandon daily walking for anything over 45 minutes for 4-5 months. Like everyone else...

    Don't walk the Camino, unless it's your Way

    My thoughts are that when 250,000 people per year do any activity there will be such a variety of experiences approaches and opinions, and all of them may not be compatible with mine, but the very variety is wonderful. And I think over the 7500 kms or whatever all the routes encompass there is...

    Hello , :)
