    Going "off stage" - Camino Frances

    Personally I wouldn't worry. I'm a bit like you in that I like to plan but found that circumstances evolve as the days pass by. I didn't book ahead in 2017, but accept that this seems to have changed according to many messages on the forum. Almost inevitably you will join others, sometimes for a...

    Help me remember an albergue

    Did the 'boot store' look like this? If so Granon.

    Incognito Celebrities on the Camino

    In 2017 I shared my 'shed' at Las Angustias in Cacabelos with a charming young South Korean man whose name was Ho (or similar) and he was an actor, having featured in some 'movies'. He generally portrayed a North Korean in his films and when I asked if he was famous he blushed so make your on...

    Rabanal del Camino Albergues

    I'd agree with nycwalking, I stayed at Guacelmo in 2017. Better still they serve tea and biscuits at about 4.pm which is a real treat with people from around the world indulging. My first non café con leche for 3 weeks. A beautiful mountain village to boot...

    Help Albergue Santa Cruz in Sahagun

    Done. I stayed elsewhere on my last Camino but would dearly love to be able to stay here in 2020 when I next plan to walk the Frances.

    Walking Buddies Needed for Camino Frances Late September

    Jenny, don't be nervous. I, along with hundreds of others, walked the Frances in September 2017. If you want to be with others then you will be. I'm sure that as you arrive in St Jean (assuming that is your start) you will meet others. Little groups form or you may choose to walk alone but you...

    Sticks or no sticks?

    I walked the CF in September 2017 and found my walking poles to be very helpful. When not needed they were carried 'closed' attached to my rucksack. They were particularly useful on a lot of the very steep descents where the track is dry, loose rocks and gravel, the poles gave extra balance and...

    Astorga to Santiago -- lots of questions!

    I walked from Rabanal to Molinaseca in September 2017 and found the descent though Acebo as hard as any part of the Frances. It was a particularly hot day coupled with a very steep descent over loose gravel and rocks. The airport bus was 3 euros and departed every 30 minutes so could not be...
