    Is the Albergue in Roncesvalles a “must”?

    I have done he French Camino from SJPD 4 times, and NEVER skipped the Albergue in Roncesvalles. For me, it sets the beginning of a great experience. This place brings a lot of new experiences, a los of hope, for the people starting the Camino Frances. You will begin with a group of people...

    LIVE from the Camino Ocebreiro to Santiago

    We arrived in Santiago yesterday, Saturday. This being my 3rd Camino Frances, it was a little bitter sweet. Most of us arriving from different places were sharing our memories, and sad to say, us "veterans", are not planning to do the French for a while, the level of commercialization is...

    Rumours of Pilgrims being held in SJPP due to crowding?

    My friends from Texas started 2 weeks ago Ron SJPP. There were lots and lots of Peregrinos. Most of the Hotels were full and charging a lot for one night. The same situation continues currently. After Tge Alto del Perdon, they hired a car and went ahead to book and pay in person for some...

    What's happening on the Camino?

    I have heard from some friends that walked the French last year, you are right, things are changing rapidly. It seems like the beauty of the Camino is really being pushed as tourism in many places. This has increased the traffic, and some folks are coming with a "fun" agenda rather than with an...
