    Finesterra? No Thank You Please

    I stayed a night and Day in Finisterra and enjoyed every minute. The people are warm and friendly and the village beautiful. Don’t sell it short too quickly.

    Bus from O Cebreiro to Sarria

    There is a bus from O’ Cebreiro, I took it. Costs about 3 euros and totally worth it.

    Pyrenees or O Cebreiro

    I completed my Camino June 30th and found that as far as “Camino Family” is concerned, you meet lots of interesting, people along the way. I chose to walk with people some days and alone other days. There is always someone to walk with if that is what you want.

    Please Help! On del Norte now.

    I started out on the Norte and it IS brutal. I took a bus from Castro Urdiales to Gurizo (not spelled correctly) spent the night there and hiked from there to Laredo. Not much pavement but lots of uphill, rocky trail, views are beautiful. I finally left the Norte and dropped down to the...

    I am not Catholic but I also was inspired by the movie “ The Way I am not Catholic but I too was inspired by the movie “The Way”. The scene where they g well said

    A good place to leave for Norte

    I’m on the Norte right now and started in San Sebastián and I can tell you it is BRUTAL and also beautiful but it is not for any person that is not in good shape. I trained every day with a full pack up and down a mountain close to my home for at least a month but it did not prepare me for this...

    A good place to leave for Norte

    I was thinking of doing the opposite, leaving Aviles and dropping down to the Francis to be able to experience both. I will be leaving San Sebastián May 27th this month

    The hardest camino route? Need advice!

    Thank you for that info. At 70 I might need to take a bus now and then. I certainly won’t rule it out😉

    American using Debit card for ATM?

    That is a “true story”😊. When saving for the Camino one should save an extra $500 just for fees and exchange rates. It sucks BUT it is what it is and we can’t let that affect our journey. Some experiences are worth the cost! Buen Camino Fellow Pilgrims. I’ll be on the Norte next week🎉💥🎉

    The hardest camino route? Need advice!

    Is that an alternate route over the Jazkibel Mtn? I’m going to try to avoid as much pavement as I can. I’ve been training with a full pack, 2 miles up a mountain and 2 miles back every day and btw I’m 70. I do want to try to save my knees and feet as much as I can.

    Camino Norte

    Knowing you are the same age as me is encouraging. I keep telling myself that I have nothing to prove. This journey is about facing my fears so just leaving home and trekking in a foreign country is a win for me. Having said that I am looking forward to the challenge and meeting exceptional...

    Camino Norte

    I am starting in San Sebastian and planning to walk to Bilbao and then take a bus or train to Burgos. I am certainly not opposed to taking a bus or whatever to detour "brutal" areas. I'm not out to injure myself. I have been training on a "small" mountain, four miles a day with a loaded...
