    Raincoat-Poncho

    That's what I did, and it worked fine for me. I started from SJPP on April 24, so I experienced all kinds of weather, including windy, cold, and rainy days.

    did you need medical care on and after the camino

    On my first Camino in 2003(Roncesvalles to Santiago) I had a chronic problem with blisters, but managed fine with the help of many visits to the farmacias along the way. I finished my 2nd Camino (SJPP-Santiago) on June 14,2012:) This time, I had a few blisters, but my main issue was something...

    An unholy year on the Camino Frances

    I am leaving from SJPP on April 24, and have also vowed to pick up a bag of litter every day. I have the forum patch on my backpack, so I think that will be a good advertisement. Wouldn't it be wonderful if all forum members got the patch and made a "green Camino" pledge? We could really make a...

    Boots for wide feet

    I vote for Keen as well, and I know they're expensive, but I got custom orthotics for this Camino. Haven't left yet, but they are making HUGE difference in my training walks.

    3...2...1...Camino!

    Fanny Pack or ???

    I did just fine with a small fanny pack, and plan on using a similar one this time. All my valuables--cash, passport, credencial, iPhone, charger, etc. fit comfortably inside. It didn't interfere with my backpack buckle/belt at all. The fanny pack accompanied me everywhere--into shower, and into...

    travel from Madrid to St Jean pied de port

    I am interested in traveling from Pamplona to SJPP on April 23. The cost for one person using Express Bourricot is 84 euro. Too steep for me! Is anyone interested in traveling on the same day, and we could split the fare? Cathy

    St Jacques... La Mecque

    I went on Amazon and bought the one copy available. I love the film! The English subtitles do not in any way interfere with my enjoyment of the movie. I actually prefer it to "The Way," (which I also own), and am happily sharing it with family and friends, as I prepare for my April Camino.

    Booking Accommodation

    Hi Toobizy, Orisson is an exception to the rule. Do book there in advance. Although even there I think they hold a couple of beds open for last minute pilgrims. After that...no reservations needed:). No worries. I made my first Camino 9 years ago in the high season when there were far fewer...
