    Pilgrim rates for Hotel Accommodation?

    As some others have proposed, I prefer to make it clear in my inquiry that I am a pilgrim, and gratefully accept any discount that might be offered. I would hate anyone to think I had an expectation that I am entitled to a discount because I am a pilgrim.

    How often do you take a break?

    I wouldn't call it a rule of thumb, but the rhythm of my Camino Day usually goes something like this (depending on all the variables and opportunities others have mentioned): Walk 2 hours; short break of 10-15 minutes (shoes off, maybe first or second coffee): Walk 2 hours; longer break about an...

    Second Camino Left me feeling Unfulfilled

    Hello Angus .... G'day Wow - I'm sure we walked many days together on that 2018 Camino Francés. It was a very "social" camino, and you were well and truly at the centre of the activity (said in the kindest possible way!) Since then I have walked the Portugués (Lisbon to SDC) in 2019 and the VdLP...

    LIVE from the Camino Tres Cantos -- camino goes past town not into it -- and more, on Camino de Madrid

I have read that there are no showers, and that the beds are actually inflatable mattresses on the floor. Is this correct? If so (if...

    Searching for a camino buddy May 2024!

    Tonight I came across my new favourite Camino quote. It's an excerpt from an interview with a pilgrim who seems to be known only as eric_pelerin. It is in French: "Les rencontres sur le Chemin sont une de mes motivations pour y retourner, tant que j'en serai capable, mais la plus belle des...

    Paris to Pamplona

    I always take the train from CDG to Paris - get off at Gare du Nord or further on, depending on where my accommodation is.

    How far do most typically walk before resting?

    I don't stick to this rigidly, but my general rhythm is: Walk two hours, have a brief stop (15 min or so) to have a snack, take off shoes and put back on; Walk two hours, stop longer (maybe lunch?), take off shoes and change socks to the opposite feet Walk two hours and a short break, take off...

    Cheapest way to Seville

    I flew into Madrid, arriving around noon, then got an afternoon train to Sevilla. It worked a treat and for me was both convenient and economical (if you book the train well ahead). I came from Australia, and my walking mates did the same from their base in Paris.

    Visa for Americans for more than 90 days?

    I have friends who successfully obtained a 12 month visa for France, which I would expect to be similar. I asked her about how it worked and this is her (verbatim) reply: It was fiddly but doable. I you go onto the visas-fr page, complete the quiz - they tell you what you should apply for and...

    Logrono back to Biarritz airport. HELP!

    In my experience you can pretty well just front up at the bus station in Logroño and buy a ticket on a bus to San Sebastian or Irun.
