    Pilgrimage or vacation?

    Why am I not surprised that this thread, that started with a simple question/reflection, quickly evolves into exchange of sharp comments? :rolleyes:

    Pilgrimage or vacation?

    I think people can think what they like to think - don't let that bother you :) Buen Camino!

    Help! Where to buy a new hat on Camino Ingles?

    I have a hunch you'd look adorable with your towel on your head 😁

    Bus from Bilbao to Pamplona

    CuadraBus is right. Last year the price was 9.05 Euro.

    Camino Ingles - how immersive an experience have you found it?

    I learned early on that it is the destination that adds meaning to the journey.

    Camino Ingles - how immersive an experience have you found it?

    I think that is a matter of personal mind-set. Some say that they need a week, maybe two, to get into the Camino-feeling, so on the Inglés you would run out of road before that. For me, I vividly remember leaving Ferrol on an early, grey morning and just a few hours later, I was already ‘there’...

    Walking with headphones?

    Me too – luckily only once. It was a young man walking with a ghetto blaster on his shoulder just like in the picture. I could hear the ridiculously loud music 15 minutes before he passed me and 15 minutes after. I could hardly believe it…. :rolleyes:

    Rough In Planning Support

    Yes: ”A plan is nothing; Planning is everything”” (Eisenhower). Whether you stick to your plan or not, the process of planning forces you to think through scenarios, possibilities and alternatives and so actually provides a basis for improvisations – and on top of that, it is quite funny and...

    Heat waves...walking in August.

    I have walked several times in August/September and it can get hot, very hot. Especially last year I had many days with temperatures in the high 30’s. I am fairly ‘heat resistant’ but at times I felt ‘well done’ at the end of the day. My recipe for hot days is to take it easy, drink a lot and...

    Hello! Returning in 2024 - Rachel here

    I usually walk later in the year, August/September, when it's really hot and dry (mostly :) ) but I could imagine that early spring would be a very nice time to walk - so I heard.

    Hello! Returning in 2024 - Rachel here

    It’s a very nice section of the Francés. A few ‘tips’ off the top of my mind would be, that the descent from Cruz de Ferro to Molinaseca is quite steep and rocky; if it is wet/raining you may want to go by the road instead of the path – though you would miss some beautiful scenario.

    Astorga

    That shouldn't be a problem. These days it's more likely to be around 1,5-2 Euros per km.

    On line reservations for accommodations

    I have done the same numerous times with no problems. If they have confirmed the reservations, I wouldn’t worry too much. Buen Camino.

    Niggling hates (dislikes) on Camino

    I, for one, appreciate your effort, winter, spring or whatever.

    Niggling hates (dislikes) on Camino

    That the side of the path that I am walking on is always the more rough and uneven.

    Quiet places with loud people aren't quiet places 😁
