    Sleeping bag and Poles in SJPP

    I purchased the elementerre Lagoya collapsible trekking poles in Pamplona last year. We walked halfway to Santiago and are returning to complete the pilgrimage this year. I find I am unable to reassemble the poles, and I am unable to find instructions online. Can anyone help?

    Carrion de los Condes to Burgos

    The bus sometimes is completely full. I’d suggest buying on-line if possible. At a minimum, buy as soon as you arrive in Carrion. We purchased 24 hrs in advance and were assigned 2 seats in the back row.

    Warning: Jacotrans

    i have used Jacotrans previously for two Caminos from approximately Pamplona to Santiago. Never a problem. This year I used the WhatsApp to message Jacotrans. Again, everything went off like clockwork, and I had documentation just in case of a problem.

    We reserved every Sunday for rest and Mass. It just seemed appropriate.

    Restaurant Tips Camino Frances

    Bar Restaurant Casanova near Plaza Fueros in Estella was excellent. Also in Estella, fine pizza at Il Colosseo. Near the Cathedral in Santo Domingo, either Las Caballeros or La Cancela. If you are stuck in Atapuerca, try restaurant Cosmosapiens. El Meson in Castrojeriz. La Curiosa in Mansilla...

    Am I in Spain or Heaven?

    I know I would enjoy the pimientos padron because I ate them almost every day on my first camino. We could not find them very frequently the second time around because we were walking too early in the year. I am interested, though, in the vermouth. I think of it as something to give a martini...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Santo Domingo de la Calzada Suffering

    I don't believe hijos in this instance really means children but rather sons of the village or something like that. I believe that this is the total number of people in the city who have died. I'm by no means an expert on Castillian language however

    is the first day as daunting as it looks?

    I am surprised no one has mentioned blisters in this context. The downhill segment throws your feet forward in your shoes, tending to produce in blisters on your toes. Training for the camino should include steep downhill segments in the same hiking boots that will be worn on the camino, and...

    In the US, permethrin is widely available for outdoor use a a mosquito repellent. It can be found, for example, at Home Depot as a spray. Multiple commercial companies will come to your home about monthly during the warm months to spray your yard if you pay them enough. I have not seen it...

    Eucharistic adoration along Camino Frances

    I am not certain, but I think the Madres Benedictinas have Adoration at the Monasterio de Santa Cruz in Sahagun. Mass there is quite inspirational. I suspect the Cathedral in Logrono has Adoration. Also, if you are in Logrono soon after Easter, the church of Santiago Real has a unique display of...

    How do I get to SJPP from Paris??

    When we did it in 2015, the morning flight to Biarritz was so cheap we chanced it, thinking we could always take a train if we missed the flight. It worked out fine for us. You may wish to check out the Easy Jet flight schedule. They have one flight each day, but the flight is at a different...
