    is the first day as daunting as it looks?

    As others have said, take your time and remember this is your Camino. I have walked both routes (Napoleon 2015 and Valcarlos 2018). I did not like the Valcarlos route. Some have said it’s easier or flatter and that is complete rubbish (IMHO). I stayed in Valcarlos and walking from SJPdP was...

    My Camino Francés

    Beautiful. Thank you.

    How crowded is it.

    David, the number of coaches is crazy. The number of pilgrims is also quite high. I walked in 2015 and my husband walked in 2016 never having to reserve a room. We are walking together and right now we are in Astorga. We have been staying off stage (mostly) and booking every night ahead by about...

    Leaving SJPdP Sept. 7

    We are staying at the Errecaldia in St. Jean on the 6th. And I emailed the albergue in Valcarlos yesterday to reserve 2 beds. They had openings for the 7th. I didn’t want to chance it since there’s only the one albergue.

    Leaving SJPdP Sept. 7

    Hi all, I wanted to check in and see if anyone is departing SJPdP on Sept. 7. My husband and I have each walked the Camino Frances (me in 2015 from SJPdP and husband in 2016 from Pamplona) and now we are getting the opportunity to walk it together. We can't wait to take this journey together...

    Looking for Best Pilgrim Common Meal

    When in September? My husband and I will be departing St. Jean on September 7. I walked in 2015 and he walked in 2016. And Casa Magica is one we plan to stop (on husband’s recommendation from his previous stay).

    Thanks

    Congratulations! I remember my first Camino in 2015. I had some trials but it was amazing. I never thought I’d do it again, but I’m starting in SJPdP with my husband on Sept. 7 (his first was in 2016).

    NOK Cream (Blister help)

    Hi Meg!! Yes, I am the Tina that you and Anne walked with the first few days in 2015. It's so good to see you here. I'll send you a message updating everything here.

    NOK Cream (Blister help)

    My husband and I are going to do our second Camino leaving Sept. 7 from St. Jean. My first Camino was in 2015 from St. Jean to SdC and my husband's was in 2016 from Pamplona to SdC. I had some issues with blisters as my feet are soft and no matter what I do, I can't seem to toughen them up. I...

    Brierly Guide

    Hey all - hope everyone is well. My husband and I have each walked the Camino Frances (me - May 2015, hubs - Sept 2016) and we are planning to do it together this fall. I've been looking for the latest Brierly Guide (or at least trying to find out when the next one will be released). Amazon has...

    Prayers requested

    Yes, he did indeed pass away doing what he wanted to do. My husband said that he started last year and when he got to Burgos, he had an infection in his legs that halted his camino. So this year, instead of beginning in Burgos where he ended, he began in St. Jean. He commented several times how...

    Prayers requested

    Hi all, My husband is walking the camino and was in Calzadilla de los Hermanillos on the Frances route. Another pilgrim, who he's crossed paths with throughout the camino and just had a communal dinner with this past Saturday, passed away during the night. The pilgrim sharing a room with him...

    LIVE from the Camino Avoiding "standard" stops

    His name is Joe (from Florida). He is in Ages today and will get into Burgos tomorrow. He's walking with a guy, Nick, from Liverpool. They're staying two days in Burgos to sight see then continue on the camino on Wednesday.

    LIVE from the Camino Feeling sorry for myself in Burgos!

    Definitely take care of your feet. In May/June 2015, I did the Frances route and took a rest day in Burgos. I also had walked two days (back to back) of long distance (50 km each day) because I was stubborn and lonely. I developed ankle edema and blisters but a rest day did me a world of good...

    LIVE from the Camino Avoiding "standard" stops

    MargLav - where are you now? My husband (from Florida) is walking with a guy he met near Pamplona (guy from England) and they will arrive in Burgos on Monday. Buen camino!!

    My husband starts Sunday from Pamplona

    Hi to all!! My husband, Joe, just left from Florida this evening and will begin his camino in Pamplona on Sunday. I walked from St. Jean to Santiago last May/June 2015 and now it's his time. If you see a tall (6'2") guy with a big floppy hat (I know that describes many) that answers to Joe from...
