Just wondering what interesting and creative ways you have kept your Camino memories. I'm planning to do this soon and would love to hear your ideas, maybe use them 😁.
... from the Oviedo municipal albergue kitchen wall 😉😁😂.
I wish I would have checked these against what was ready there in the villages but I didn't, sorry!
I thought these would be helpful to those doing some planning for the Primativo. I didn't have a guide book just the download from the forum but for me the download was really out of date. All the work that went into it was great but out of date. I hope this helps someone. I'm guessing it's...
I've been looking at many transportation threads but haven't seen, or missed, BUS options to SJPdP from Biarritz.
I get in too late to use EB (I've emailed them)and last time I checked the trains from Bayonne don't leave that late.
I arrive at 18:50 to Biarritz airport on a Thurs.
I've...
Just wondering about the Norte, Primativo, and Muxia/Finnesterre ...
Are they typically populated enough to walk with others if things get/feel sketchy?
And this could be due to the strikes but when I look up on trainline.eu for Bayonne to St.JPdP on Aug. 30 they are all sold out (sncf)

If you have accommodation referrals, I'm all ears!

1. Buying it at CDG or SJPdP- any difference/ easier? (I don't speak French and don't know if that will be a factor...
I have read many threads on this subject and I'm still not clear on what is covered. Pertinent info:
-Samsung 7, unlocked (I'm pretty sure but will make sure)
- plan on downloading What's App for texting /calling home
-uploading pics /video only at alburgues with wifi
-not using GPS or maps...
The polar vortex has been the subject of recent chatter among meteorologists this week after it split.
In short, there are now two smaller vortices: one over western Canada and another over Europe. Across the Arctic, where the polar vortex typically stays locked, the stratosphere has warmed...
I just thought about this- haven't taken the time to think it through...anyone mix paths?
I'm thinking about a St. Jean start, Longrono (I think) to Bilbao to pick up the Norte route, then the Primativo to the last bit of Frances into Santiago. This would be in Sept and a week or so in Oct but...
Just wondering if anyone has considered an Iceland stopover?
From the US flights go to Iceland with a day or more stopover and then on to Paris CDG.
Sounds fun!
