    Meals at the Albergues

    ¿Es neta?:eek: Tiene mujer que es nativa y no ha aprendido español. 🤣Me encanta la lengua y paso tiempo en Baja entonces quiero hablar español todos lugares. Mi esposo no habla español desafortunadamente.🤨

    Meals at the Albergues

    Gracias. Menos mal, no pienso que habrá un problema con español. Es verdad, por teléfono es más difícil pero me puedo defender. Espero que pueda conversarlos muchos a los hispanohablantes.

    Meals at the Albergues

    Thanks for your suggestion about nearby bars. I've done that and it's a good option. I just never considered the idea before that I could have met up with other peregrinos in albergues as well and I thought maybe that can be done which is why I was asking. I see the issue for the albergues about...

    Meals at the Albergues

    So are you saying that if I walk with you all day, my experience is not the same, because I am a tourist and can't contribute to a conversation because I am not sleeping at the albergue. I would be imposing myself on people who I have seen on the trail, maybe had a conversation. You would see me...

    Meals at the Albergues

    Would it be possible to join other peregrinos at albergues that have the dinner on offer [menu of the day] even though I wouldn't be lodging there? I would like to share a meal with peregrinos for good conversation and maybe meet some spanish speaking peregrinos. Is it possible to know ahead of...

    Theft in Leon and Logrono

    I have used various PacSafe travel bags and locks for a few years now. I like the product. You can lock your bag/hip pack to a frame, locking features makes it difficult for pickpockets and they are slash-proof.

    Making the commitment

    Your introspective response hits a cord. We can't know how it will be in the future. I don't know what I would do if I was in that situation. However in the meantime it is nice having the rock/anchor there at home knowing you have someone outside the Camino. I'm sure you aren't the only one to...

    Making the commitment

    There are some good insights given here. I can see everyone has there own experiences or assumptions about what they will experience. All is useful. I do definitely choose comfort over cheap which is why I like having a nice room booked well in advance and not settling for what I can get on the...

    Making the commitment

    I've been thinking about why others don't see doing a camino as making a commitment. I can list some factors that affect me. Such as financial [ even with albergues this isn't a cheap trip getting gear, flights, other transportation and accommodations], time [leaving the family to go off on my...

    Making the commitment

    Your determination and courage is noteworthy. I will watch out for you on the trail should I go. While I don't have such an intense calling to the Camino I do have one.

    Making the commitment

    More good advice and observations. I know it's difficult to understand why someone would find it so hard to do something really easy. Book a flight, book a room and walk. I know I am totally capable and I have no fears or worries about walking alone. I have done it before and last year I hiked...

    Making the commitment

    Interesting how seeing everyone's comments gave me insight that I had not seen before. This past year I organized a two month trip to Spain which involved a huge amount of planning. I had a spreadsheet and had booked planes, trains, buses, tours across southern Spain and the western border and...

    Making the commitment

    I walked from León to Santiago in 2016 and now I am considering walking from SJPP to León in May June. For some reason I find myself struggling with making the commitment. I have made reservations twice and cancelled because I don't feel totally committed to do all the preparations and then walk...

    An in-betweener Hotels and Alberques

    May 2016 I walked from Leon to Santiago. Mid April and Mid May 2018 I plan to walk SJPP to Leon in two sections perhaps SJPP to Burgos in April then Burgos to Leon in May. In 2016 I did the hotel's only with a spanish tour company. I found myself alone almost all of the time. This time I want to...
