    Learning Basic Spanish

    Hi, I agree with all the suggestions. Do what works for you. Get the local people to teach you a few words each day. On the Camino I found ‘dict ‘ on my phone to be really helpful. Easy to put on your phone. Translates words from Spanish to English or vice versa, and then gives you examples...

    to book or not to book...

    Hi, My 73yr old friend and I (65yr) walked from StJPDP to Finistere in two stages this year. Like you, we mostly wanted to stay in private rooms and to know where we were going. I booked the first 2 or 3 nights before we left home and I booked all the other accommodation one or two nights...

    between Burgos and Leon

    Hi, I’m just home in the UK after walking the first half of the Camino and finishing in Sahagun. I loved the Meseta. Sahagun has quite a big train station with trains in all directions. We caught a train to Bilbao which was a 4 hr journey. I bought the tickets from the Renfe office in...

    Luggage transport

    Do I need to prebook luggage transport? My friend and I are starting from St J Friday 4th May, and would like to have our bags transported. I have booked luggage transport from St J for the first day, but not after that. I hoped to carry my rucksack but I have developed awful knee pain in...
