    Luggage transfer

    I read that municipal auberges will not accept luggage transferred by courier. Is this correct, if so is there a way around this? I prefer to stay at municipal auberges and carry my backpack since they are cheaper, my traveling companion prefers to transfer her luggage by courier.

    Buen Camino app, negative about central Portugal

    Searching the Bueno Camino app on my android, yellow arrow on blue background, the description of the stages along the central route, under Route in Detail, is negative. Author focuses on tarmac roads, walking next to N-roads, train tracks, does not sound like a pleasant experience. Is this just...

    Hi. I plan to walk either the French or Portuguese caminos next year with family members and am working out a budget. Since I want to keep costs to a minimum, is the Portuguese camino cheaper than the French route for food and accommodation? On average, how much did people pay, per day, this...

    Think of walking the Aragonese Way, a pilgrim I met last year highly recommended it for scenic attraction. Any suggestions on how to get to Somport from, say, Paris? I will arrive in Paris by air. Thanks in advance.

    Santiago to London

    Looking at flight options from Santiago to London around 4th July. Flights earlier in the day are really expensive, 330+ Euros. I have looked at other options, flying out of Madrid,..., but the cost is still about the same. Any tips for an inexpensive way home will be appreciated.

    On the Camino now, even better walking than cycling, which I did last year. On my next trip, friends are pressing me to take them, is there a luggage courier: SJPP - Orisson - Roncesvalles - Zubri - Pamplona? Would like to walk without a backpack for a change. Thanks in advance.

    Orange SIM Card

    I bought an Orange SIM card in Pamplona to use between there and logorno. Unfortunately, I am unable to get data, even though I got data in Pamplona. Is the Orange network very good along the camino? I used to work with mobile phones, so know how to set them up.

    One Day or Two? Walking the Camino from St Jean to Roncesvalles at 72

    I plan to walk the Camino starting from St Jean Pied de Port, next June. From what I have read, the first day from St. Jean to Roncesvalles is very difficult. Being a bit older, 72, and wanting to enjoy the walk, is it better to split the first day and spend the night about 10km outside St...

    Best printed list of albergues on French camino

    I cycled the French camino last July. I assumed I could use my smart phone to look for albergues at the end of each day. This was a mistake, and finding accommodation late in the afternoon, when tired, was not easy and I often resorted to hotels. Walkers have an easier time since they are able...
