    Recos for pilgrim accommodations: Castres - Toulouse?

    Also check out abbaye sainte scholastique in dourgne. A nice stay with the nuns and a communal dinner with other pilgrims or people on retreat. That would be your next day walk from castres.

    Recos for pilgrim accommodations: Castres - Toulouse?

    The hotel riviere in castres, 10 Quai Tourcaudière, offers pilgrims rooms. Simple, private and very centrally located.

    Col du Somport in October?

    I've crossed over Col du Somport three different times in the month of October, 2010, 2013, and 2016 and never had any snow. It was raining but warm in 2010 and warm and sunny in 2013 and 2016. On a clear day the views are stunning and the walk down to Jaca is one of my favorite stretches. Nice...

    The Dragonte Option

    I've walked the Dragonte option on all three of my caminos and plan on walking it again when I hit it this November, currently in Toulouse on the Arles way, I never got lost or saw another pilgrim on the route. It's a nice quiet beautiful option but not for everyone I suppose. It definitely...

    Pilgrim accommodations along Vezelay and Arles

    I walked the Arles route in September/October 2010, A Holy year and found it beautifully serene. I could count all the pilgrims I saw on both hands and still have fingers left over. I didn't start seeing many other pilgrims till I walked into Spain on the Via Aragones and wasn't really prepared...
