    Transportation from Finisterre to Porto

    I used BlaBlaCar car to from Bilbao to Pamplona and Santiago to Porto. It was fantastic and SO cheap! One driver had me meet him at the local airport. I waited in arrivals thinking it must be a passenger but turns out my driver was a pilot lol. He can right off the plane, in his uniform, and we...

    Ride share Bilbao to SJPP May 5th 22

    Hi all! My friend, Jen, an I are curious to see if anyone would like to share a taxi to SJPP from Bilbao on the 5th of May 2022. This will be Jen’s very first Camino.

    Nice! I’m excited to try out my lightweight sleeping bag. It will be a nice switch from my liner.

    Pyrenees in May

    Thank you for the reminder! I need to buy waterproof mittens. My boots did not survive my second Camino so I tried switching to Hokas. I love the shoes but I am thinking about checking out their boots. Seems like they would help me more on uneven terrain and in mud🤔

    Pyrenees in May

    Thank you for the words of wisdom! I was hoping my layered approach would work. I am pretty minimalistic on the Camino so not having to worry about bringing a coat makes me happy! perfect! Ty! This is the first time I am bringing a bag heavier than a liner. I have had many a chilly night on...

    Pyrenees in May

    I have completed two Caminos both starting in Pamplona. This May I will have more time and able to start in SJPP on May 6th. I am wondering how much cold weather clothing to bring. I always bring a fleece and a raincoat. Could I double up on those or am I underestimating the weather in the...

    Orisson Albergue

    I also booked for May. About a week later I received an email with a link to pay. It just takes time to get a response but they have always responded to me. I wouldn’t worry, just trust the process. It is good practice for the patience you learn along the way. I quickly learned that time can...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Travel from USA to Spain update

    ***SO important!! In the US many insurance plans will NOT pay for ANYTHING if you travel to a red zone. My regular travel insurance is also not able to be used. I was to leave in two weeks and didn’t even think about how the raised level to red would make all my insurance useless. Please look at...
