    Break O’Cebreiro climb

    Thanks! Never heard about it before. Looked into it, sounds interesting, but unlikely manageable for someone who never rode - after two hours on the horseback, i am afraid we would get even more tired ;) Not that they didnt train, just not in hills. They are lookimg to the mountains...

    Break O’Cebreiro climb

    Hi all 💝 I am on the Camino now, my parents (68) join me in a few days from Ponferrada. Though they are quite fit, they are not used to hilly terrain. Also, as I want to send their bags upfront in the first few days, i will need to prebook accommodation for the night, so not much flexibility...

    Second-hand walking poles

    T Thanks, Robo, all this makes perfect sense. And sometimes indeed the recycling concept is out of place and not doable without what you called ‘other sources’. I just was hoping that something might have changed from this side and Spain’s authorities responsible for maintenance of the camino...

    Second-hand walking poles

    Hi all, Just wondering if there is an option of ordering donated walking poles to be delivered to the starting point somehow? Travelling with hand-luggage only. I will start from Burgos, my parents join me from Ponferrada. So three pairs would be left after in SdC. I do not mind bying, just...

    CF in April with parents - logistics/gear

    Thanks! I use Buen Camino app, i beleive, all of them are very handy and similar in functionalities. I’ve checked Borda, its already fully booked out for the day I’m looking, so we might be stuck with Orisson, though i read reviews from the recent years, does not sound very favourable, they...

    CF in April with parents - logistics/gear

    Thanks @Ken & Liz , yes i agree, and was planning a stop in Orisson. Have not heard about Borda before, will check it out ❤️

    CF in April with parents - logistics/gear

    Thanks @trecile ❤️ do you have a specific brand of socks that you would recommend?

    CF in April with parents - logistics/gear

    thank you so much @C clearly, i do not mind and really appreciate it. My parents are travelling from Latvia, so no jetlag for them, as for me, last time I remember i was surprisingly good the first days (operating on pure excitement ;)) and started to feel the jetlag on Day 3 only 😎 My parents...

    CF in April with parents - logistics/gear

    Hi everyone 👋 Merry Christmas! Looking for advice on a few things. Back in October 2018 I did SJP to Burgos, planned to continue in 2020 with my parents and teenage daughter, but we all know the reason why it didnt happen ;) Now want to restart again. The plan is to start on 31 March from Burgos...

    My (somewhat vague) predictions for when Spain will open again

    The question here would be not only if Spain let us in, but also whether Australia will let us out... Thanks for the update, Ivar, much appreciated.

    Train and bus schedule.

    MonBus used to have a direct route to Sarria at around 3pm, weekdays. It doesn't show it anymore, even though Rome2Rio still advises about it. Their webpage doesn't let to chose Sarria as a bus station at all now, neither from nor to Sarria. I emailed them last week and was said that schedules...

    The Introverted Pilgrim

    Thank you for bringing it up, Dave. Probably funny at my age, but one of the things I was hoping for, that Camino could "heal" my introversion :) It didn't. Though I enjoyed meeting new people, very much appreciated helpfulness and Camino spirit, I felt very awkward and unease my first night in...

    Second-hand walking poles in SdC

    Oh! Thank you so much, guys, you are wonderful :)

    Second-hand walking poles in SdC

    Hi all, We are walking from Sarria to Sdc and then Muxia/Fisterra in the beginning of June. As flying both ways with hand luggage only not able to take our walking poles. Were planning to buy ones, but then we would need to get rid of them again... Seems not really effective and hardly...

    Should I take a sleeping bag? (early October camino)

    Depends on how warm you are yourself :) I was walking in October last year using a fleece liner from SeatoSummite - I was COLD! Luckily there are blankets in most albergues. In a few places though I had to put on all my clothes and put a rain poncho on top of myself to keep warm.

    Casa Magica - new management

    It's a shame... The paella was really good. Even though you could get it everywhere, as it's not originated from the regions where CF goes through, it's normally quite average... But you can't expect previous owners to run cooking classes for new ones, I guess... Casa Magica used to be vegan...

    Pamplona at 4am

    Hi guys, Just considering our options of getting from Barcelona to Pamplona. If we miss the latest Renfe train on the day (18.40) we may need to catch the night bus instead, that arrives at 4 am :D Any ideas where to stay for a few hours in Pamplona? I don't recall if there was a waiting room...

    300 Bedbug Bites

    @Linainuk, so sorry you have been "attacked" so badly. Please care about yourself, see the doctor and treat your stuff. It's very hard to determine where bedbugs came from... Unfortunately, either can be true - the albergue already had them or you brought them with you... :'( I'm lucky, as...

    Pyrenees or O Cebreiro

    Thank you, @VNwalking :) I researched it a bit, looks doable. Just because it requires lots of pre-planning and advance reservation, I'm afraid to loose flexibility, especially as unsure if possible to find bag sending service before merging with Sanabres... I don't want mum to feel too much...

    Pyrenees or O Cebreiro

    Thank you, guys :) We keep thinking. As we go as a family, sorry if it hurts anyone, we are not really looking for “Camino family”, though would be glad to meet new people every night. Especially, as my parents do not speak English, and unlikely my 14yo meets a lot of peers of her age to connect...
