    Solo female Camino Frances from October 20th. Guidance welcome!

    Hi there! I too will be starting from SJPP on the 20th. Will be my 4th Camino having walked 2 of the previous 3 Caminos with my eldest. All of them beginning in mid October and ending little past mid November. Perfect weather, culture, food, and company. No matter how hard I may try, I’m never...

    2 weeks Norte -which section?

    Good morning, recently completed the Norte and may have some food for thought. Between Irún and Bilbao the local train system parallels you more or less. It is therefore possible to stay in San Sebastián and use the train and it’s several stops to adhere to your 15k. For instance, awake in San...

    Camino Part Deux

    Nothing embarrassing and seemed to be the norm. I wouldn't and haven't hiked in 90 heat in the US for long distances. Not something that ever occurred to me to be an enjoyable time. This Camino, there was no choice but to plug ahead no matter the heat or distances. As such, my footwear choice...

    Camino Part Deux

    So wow, that was something. Portugal offered 90 plus degree heat, fires in the hills, feet eating hard pavement, and some very, very nice people. The Lisbon to Porto stretch was as everyone has described and 7 out of 10, and 10 was about the number of hikers I met between the two cities...

    Camino Part Deux

    I was sorry to learn of your experience and I'm surprised to hear the cobblestones have the potential to test us so much. I've been alternating shoes to feel the best fit and after wearing the boots today and reading the above posts, think I've made my decision.

    Camino Part Deux

    Decided that I was tired of rolling my ankles on the rocky and rooty trails of New England and had an epiphany...which amounted to "what the hell am I doing?". What I did was book a flight and what I will be doing is embracing the Portuguese Camino from Lisbon to Santiago starting September 5...

    Do's and don'ts in the albergue?

    Starting day four south of Pamplona and shared the albergue with a pilgrim who had his insoles stolen the night before. Don’t steal someone else’s insoles. And of course his feet were in tough shape last evening...not sure but that may be one of the cruelest things you can do to a person during...

    Much appreciation for this incredibly valuable community. Our time has come and the flight leaves this Monday (Oct. 15) arriving in Madrid Tuesday morning. After a plane ride to Pamplona (or the train if we don't make the connection), we'll be off to SJPP. Please let me know if you'll be in the...
