I am planning to walk the Camino Baztan in the last week of April 23 (then along the Frances to the Invierno). I prefer Albergue accommodation if at all possible. Is late-April too early for the Baztan albergues to be open? Would a delay into early-May be better? Thanks and Cooee.
I will be departing SJPdP 13 Aug19 for my second Camino Frances. I did my first Sep-Oct last year, had a wonderful experience and have been unable to get it out of my mind ever since then! Have caught the Camino bug well and truly. I was planning to walk from Porto, then do the Ingles and down...

My thanks to all on this forum, especially the Moderators and regulars. I could not have planned my first Camino and sorted all the equipment/pack list/travel/accom etc issues without all the great advice posted here. Thanks to Ivar for hosting this service. I will be flying into CDG then BIQ 18...
