    LIVE from the Camino Almost no private rooms available around San Juan, Ages and Atapuerca

    In ages, Try Albergue Al Pajar de ages , they have a second Albergue called the red house . There are some private rooms with shared bathrooms there but you have to call them and talk to the lady ( who speaks English ). The rate is donativo. Really lovely couple with a super pilgrim paella dinner.

    Booking accommodation

    Generally a day in advance. Use booking.com. For me after a few days on the Camino I preferred to book a day ahead as it gave me peace of mind. Once I reached my destination, in the beginning , it irritated me to have to walk around after a long day to look for accommodation . But it depends...

    Cycling sleeves for walking

    I used it religiously to protect my arms from the hot sun. It kept me very cool and less sweaty compared to wearing long sleeves tshirt. The material is lighter. My camino girlfriends thought it was a great idea as it would have protected their arms from being sun burnt and gives them the...

    This is how I feel about Spanish food (sorry)

    I ate very well on the Camino, a few were even guia Michelin. Some peregrino meals were truly delicious (especially when it was home cooked), but most were boring. Realistically, for 10 euros restauranters would have to cut corners if they were going to serve three courses with wine. So, I found...

    Can't Stop Worrying! Solo Female!
