Dear Bicigrinos,
My friend and I are planning on biking the Camino Frances. I hiked the CF in 2019. He is under the impression that since we will bike it and not hike it, that we will not receive a Compostela upon arriving in Santiago. I'm guessing that if we have pilgrim's passports that are...
Hey Pilgrims! Got back a week ago today from Spain after completing my CF thru-hike. It was an amazing journey and way more challenging than I had expected! I've included a link to my highlight reel for those who've got some spare time. Buen camino to all!

Dear pilgrims, I’m trying to book a train from Madrid to Pamplona for June 13. There’re are are no available trains showing up on Renfe, Petrabax, Omio. How soon can I expect trains to be available?
Also, what is your preferred website/app to book trains, buses and/or taxis? Thanks in advance...
Hey pilgrims. I'm starting this thread to add my start date (June 14) to the calendar. I'd also like to thank Ivar and all of you who regularly chime in and provide so much invaluable advice to newbies like myself, who have been drawn to the camino. Hope I bump into some of you along "the way"...
Hello Pilgrims! I'm planning on taking a 48L bag on my camino, and based on all my research, I'll have to check that bad boy in once I get to the airport. I figure I should take a-Dry sack for my electronics, toiletries-just in case of a delayed/lost bag situation. Do any of you do this, and if...
Hello Pilgrims. Just booked my tickets for next year's camino, so I'm compiling my shopping list! Wondering if you have any recommendations for powder forms of: toothpaste, shampoo, cologne. I don't want to pack liquids. Thanks in advance for help.
Dear pilgrims,
I spoke with a woman I met at a workshop today who did the camino last year. She stated that she had a female friend who stayed at an albergue where everyone showered together. She made it sound like things were kind of freaky deaky. :eek: Is that the case, or are they coed...
Hey all! I really want to do a portion of the CF (from O Cebreiro - Santiago de Compostela) in mid June. I'm looking at flights and prices from Miami to Madrid...good Lord!!! Price right now on American Airlines- the price is almost $1500/person. Any tips on best time to book? Did I wait too...
Dear Camino fans, I'm planning to do my first camino in June of this year (2018). I was wondering the following:
Is the CF really crowded at this time?
If so, should I just bring a tent so I don't have to worry about not being able to stay an an albergue?
Many thanks to the creators...
