    Where is this

    Redecilla del Camino…….. it is on the base of the statue. So many new monuments, statues and wall art since I walked the Camino in 2017.

    Favorite Parador in Santo Domingo de la Calzada

    In 2017 my brother in law and I enjoyed several Gin and Tonics in the Parador near the Cathedral. A very nice place which I am sure you will enjoy! Lucky you! 🤓

    Do I need a sleeping bag or liner?

    Hi, regardless of whether you take private rooms or not in April I would definitely take both a sleeping bag and towel. It can still be cold in April ….. even Spain!

    Celebrating my old age

    Good for you! I celebrated my 70th by walking the Camino in 2017. If the good Lord spares me I will do a section of it to celebrate my 80th. Buen Camino.

    Say No! to rubber tips on your poles.

    It is obvious that you don’t want anyone disagreeing with you by asking the moderator to close the thread. But I totally disagree with you! It takes only seconds to remove/replace the rubber feet to trekking poles, as I have done for years. Do carry on click, clicking your way down the Camino...

    SAINT-JEAN (1st Day) failure rate 40%?!

    Thank you. I think in many ways there are parts of the Camino whence its the coming down that be a bigger problem!

    SAINT-JEAN (1st Day) failure rate 40%?!

    What long steep stretches? I’m confused by your comment.

    SAINT-JEAN (1st Day) failure rate 40%?!

    Please don’t worry too much about the first day. There are some steep bits but it is mainly a long upward slog. Just take your time, stop and enjoy the views! Within two weeks you will be running up such steep stretches! Good luck and Buen Camino!

    Coming to the Camino Frances, a flood of tour groups

    On my first Camino in 2008 I saw plenty of what I termed ‘Parador Pilgrims’. They weren’t a problem then it in 2017. My only hang up is using in my opinion a sacred pilgrimage route for fundraiser purposes.

    Albergues in Pamplona and SJPDP

    Bus to Finisterre / Fisterra

    Hi, I went by bus in 2008. I recall it stopped in the village centre. I stayed in a lovely municipal albergue. It was a nice leisurely 40 minute walk to the lighthouse. If you get there, stay a couple of days, it is lovely just enjoying the beach. Good luck.
