I am in Eirexe out of Palas de Rei just to get out of the rush. The holidays in Spain has contributed to the large numbers. It is great to see the Spanish people enjoying their Camino but accommodation has been difficult. I have always booked ahead. Also one needs quiet time on the Camino and it...
Thanks for the reply Rob. Have completed the descent. I think the descent from Foncenbadon was similar. It has been a great journey and still some way to go before Santiago!@Maiz
Thanks for enlightening me VNwalking. You can see i have not participated in forums! I am going to enjoy the Camino meeting wonderful people that are on this forum. Buen Camino
I am so glad to read your dilemma. I am going through same as I leave for Barcelona tomorrow. On to Pamplona to start on 5 April. I have mid boots with low gaiters as I found pebbles were going into my boots in the training walks. Would have loved to start from SJPdP but need to be sensible at...
Agree Mvanert. Thanks Ivar. This forum has been invaluable in many ways and appreciate the conversation in this thread as I start from Pamplona on 5 April.
Buen Camino
Thanks John. Bala you sound so organised. How does one prepare for mud? I am hoping to get rain gear in Pamplona if my jacket is not sufficient.@Maiz
Buen Camino
Peter and VN - my sentiments also regarding the generosity of spirit and service with kindness. I touched the like button in your posts without really checking and on looking at it again I saw it was showing 'unlike' . This is just to say I am on the same wavelength and meant to express 'LIKE'...
Hi Carol This will be my first Camino and I will be walking solo. Apprehensive but also excited and going with faith and trust. Hope we meet up and can walk some stretches together! Just been reading about the scams and pickpockets and thankful for the posts. @Maiz
Puiu, Trecile, Rick and Peg, thank you for all the information. Much appreciated. I also needed the name of the Pilgrim shop in Pamplona which you have provided. I have only packed the basics but finding that it is my backpack that is the heaviest part! It is only a 24L pack too. Thanks again...
Thank you Dorpie - most helpful!
Kanga - thanks. I would have ordered but have left home, now in Dubai enroute to Pamplona via Barcelona.
Looking forward to it. Maiz
Thank you so much Peter and Purky. I will make my way to Albergue Jesus y Maria - what I need most is the list of the Albergues. I have downloaded the list of favourite Albergues which is going to be most helpful - thanks to atilburg1. The full list will be helpful in case I cannot get into the...
Can anyone tell me where the office is in Pamplona to pick up the Credencial? I am starting the Camino early in April and am a 'newbie'. Thanks everyone for your posts - I have learnt so much!
