    Sending a bag or box from SJPdP to Ivar

    Express Bourricot has more flexible pickup times. Be careful to note the pickup times for Ivar though as its only available for like an hour a day. Cost-wise, I think Ivar's is a little cheaper overall especially for smaller sized packages. I used Spain's regular mail to send to Ivar. I...

    Santiago to Finisterre

    Hi CW Buff, I'm looking at booking hotel la marina in Cee and they offer a tasting menu for $30 pp. Was wondering if you saw this or even booked it? Or if there were other recommendations you might offer instead? thanks..

    lockers in Finisterre?

    Hi all, I'm planning on going to Finisterre but don't plan on staying there overnight. I plan to take the last bus back to Santiago. The recommendation is to walk to the lighthouse without your pack. I assume most people that follow this advice is staying the night and so can leave their...

    Pamplona to Logroño OR Palas de Rei to Santiago

    Palais de rai is about 40+ km from Sarria so not long enough to get a compostela. I also recommend Pamplona to Logrono to get a more authentic experience of Spanish culture and the camino. The last 100 km of the Camino is much higher priced and very busy with people. It definitely has a tourist...

    Where to leave motorcycle + gear whilst walking Camino Frances

    This is just a guess but if you contact one of the private albergues or hotels in Logrono, you might be able to work something out. There are also bicycle rental places that you might be able to work something out. Or Instead of riding to Logrono, maybe leave your bike at a parking spot in...

    Logrono - Winederful Hostel & Café versus Albergue Albas

    I stayed at winederful and liked it. They have different size rooms to stay in. I was in a 6-bed (3 bunks) and my friend was in a 10-bed (5 bunks). Each room has its own bathroom and i think the price difference was like $2 euro for each change in size. There are also drawers beneath the bottom...

    Two more holiday weekends coming up - plan accordingly

    this explains why santiago is mostly sold out already for the 19-20 of May and remaining rooms are sky high. Tfti

    Under 15km days from Roncevalles to Santo Domingo but not too short OR seeking the perfect distance (for me).

    i havent tried the sites u mentioned but have been using the free version of wise pilgrim iphone app for all caminos. When u enter into the frances route, it will show each stage and what seevices are available as well as the distance from the next town. The feature that I use the most is...

    RETHINK walking the Frances

    I heard this evening that the office in SJPP stopped issuing credenciales to limit how many were walking and to relieve some pressure on the albergues. I am not sure if that is country-wide mandate or just sjpp because someone can just bus to another city and pick up a credenciale from there. I...

    RETHINK walking the Frances

    This reservatiom was made through whatsapp. I sent a follow-up message the day of around noon to let them know i would be arriving around 4-5 but was still planning to arrive. Their response was “Lo siento no tengo tu reserva. Ha habido una confusión. Lo siento.” I sent a screenshot of the...

    Staging options around Cruz de Ferro

    Thanks tom. I wasnt aware of pilar’s albergue as ive mostly just been using wise pilgrim app and dont see it listed there. I checked their website though and it looks great. Definitely headed there for my mid-day meal before the final push to foncebedon. It was recommended to stay at foncebedon...

    Staging options around Cruz de Ferro

    I wasnt aware of the times so thank you. I will try to contact more albergues in rabanal to see if i can find a spot. The heat will definitely be a concern. I will definitely try to recharge somehow in rabanal before attempting the climb. Maybe a nap and/or an extra long break.

    Staging options around Cruz de Ferro

    I have a reservation in foncebedon as i’m sure that climb will drain me. Was just debating if i should try to shorten that day a bit by starting somewhere closer than astorga. I saw the other thread about coming down. My question was more about the climb so i started a new thread rather than...

    Staging options around Cruz de Ferro

    Thanks for the replies. My fitness level is definitely not quite up to par with you guys though. I can do 30’s here and there but only attempt them if its relatively flat. I usually try to stay in the 20-25 km range. Im more concerned about the elevation gain at the tail end of 25 km hike than...

    Staging options around Cruz de Ferro

    Sorry if this has been asked before but wanted to get peoples take on the hike to cruz de ferro. I plan to stay in astorga to do some sight-seeing and was wondering if astorga to foncebedon is doable or just crazy talk. I stayed at Orrison to break up day 1 so a little worried about that climb...
