    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD A return to a more basic camino?

    I think it's the opposite. The Hygiene and Sanitary Standards will be raised. Donativos need to provide certain Standards, that they didn't had before. You won't have lots of bunk beds in a small room anymore. The current circumstances just accelerated the progression of the camino into higher...

    VIRTUAL Camino Francés

    I'm watching Full Videos of this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_qXVVpaxdCoYL3YveKf750Atgxqj2qls A pilgrim captured all his way to Santiago. 5-hour walks per day (Parts are cutted out). It captures imho the feeling really good. If you want the full virtual experience, put a...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD 2020 Camino a possibility?

    Right now, i feel pretty positive the camino will reopen again sometime this year. Just because i doubt spain can afford it to be on lockdown for such a long time, the economy relies too much on the tourism and the camino is much safer than the tourism at the beaches, which will probably also...

    Where to stay in Biarritz

    Don't forget you can also stay in Anglet or Bayonne, they are all connected to the same public transport, which is very cheap. I remember a daily ticket was as cheap as 2€ or 2,50€, something like that. So i found a cheap AirBnb in Anglet to stay, which was like 15mins to walk or 2-3 bus...

    Beginning from SJPdP on June 5-anyone else?

    I cant wait to be back on the trail. I'd love to start in June, but because June has much more rainy days than July i still consider July to walk. Some mountain trails are just messy when it rains and also for drying your clothes its better to have more sunny days. Also the whole Corona thing...

    Frances in 27 days?

    YES you can do it. Ive met people who walked like 40km a day and they didn't seem to be exhausted. You could also easily split the days in early and late walks. But here is my advice and the advice lots of people gave me, when i walked: TAKE YOUR TIME. There is no rush. It's a total different...

    Snoring

    I'm surprised how many people shift the blame to the snorrer and want to ban them out of communal albergues. There is no ruling: "people, who are snorring, have to get a private room". In Hostels it is pretty common, that it's not the one, who snorrs, who needs to leave, but the one, who can't...

    Anyone using a Drone?

    Im watching at the moment a family who has done the camino in 2018 and they include lots of drone footage on their youtube channel. I have to say, the videos wouldnt be the same without this footage and i think its very good to have drone footage, if you want to document your camino and are a...

    Luggage transfer on Camino Frances

    Here is just my experience from my camino: One italian pilgrim was sending her backpack to the next albergue she booked before. The backpack was just lying there under a table as if someone has forgot it there. She grabbed it, but anyone else could have grabbed it all day. Its just like having...

    Roncesvalles Albergue

    I was in august there. I paid 12€ for the night. I think because of high season. 10€ extra for dinner, but you dont need to buy it. You just get a ticket for a restaurant. There are at least 2 restaurants in roncesvalles, they sell tickets to. You can go to whatever restaurant and just buy...

    WALKING from Biarritz to SJPdP

    I was cycling from Bayonne to SJPdP in one day. I was also following the Nive River. But i was following it all the way to SJPdP. I did it, because i read i shouldnt pass "le pas de roland" after Itxassou and it was totally worth it. It might be the most beautiful pass of the whole camino. im...
