Our first night in an Albergue was at Roncesvalle in a room with many bunk beds. It was our first Camino. Upon awakening in the morning, the first thing my husband saw was a tall, very well-built blonde female changing her bra right there in the middle of the room. Then, as she turned and...
Congratulations on having a desire to walk the Camino de Santiago. Not everyone gets the call, or feels the drive to do so. Blessed are those who do. Being somewhat of a “have to know everything about it before I do it” kind of person, my advice would be to download the profiles of the routes...
Other than a cold, foggy, rainy, windy trip across the Pyrenees on the Napoleon route, the weather was fabulous for the most part. Bed-wise the Camino was very crowded, from SJPD all the way to Santiago. When we got to Roncesvalle we snagged the last two available beds in the entire compound...
The Pilgrim Museum provides a "big picture" view of the history of St. James, and the Camino de Santiago; e.g., how it came to be and why it endures. Buen Camino!!

We are planning to start from SJPP after arriving via taxi in afternoon, have reservations at Orisson. We are from Melbourne, Fl and have been planning for this, our first Camino, for years.
My husband and I are flying out of Miami Apr 23 to Pamplona, then taxi to SJPP. We are over-achievers by nature, and are planning to step out of the taxi and immediately begin the Camino with our first stop at Orisson. That's the plan, but we are also flexible by nature and will take it as it...
