    A question for camino historians or those who walked the Francés a long time ago.

    Could this be the place? It's casa Cruceiro in Ferreiros, between Sarria and Portamarin, just before the official 100 km marker. We stayed there in September and had a wonderful experience.

    16 May 2023 - from Pamplona airport to SJPP

    I will be doing the same thing in August, but I was thinking I'd go thru customs in Madrid, then shuttle to a domestic terminal for Iberia flight. Anyone have experience with this situation?

    Basque shepherd dogs

    Sad and scary. I just finished reading Robinson Crusoe, written in 1719. His last adventure was a land trip via horseback across the Pyrenees. The travelers were attacked by big wolves, well over 100 in the pack. Having crossed these mountains 3xs on foot, I was never aware that preditors were...

    Roncesvalles Albergue: Booking, Availability, and COVID Restrictions

    I believe the Mass was at 8:00. So reserving the 7:00 dinner allows you to attend Mass afterwards.

    1 Hr time between flights doable in Madrid?

    American did the same to me. I booked Dayton-CLT-MAD RT, with 3 hour layovers. In May AA rerouted me DAY-DFW-MAD, with a 9 hr layover going and 5 hr on return. I spent 2 hrs on hold to protest and was pretty much told too bad and nope-no food vouchers either. I will be tired when I reach SJPP...
