    A camino through Lourdes

    When I cycled Tolosana I met on the outskirts of Toulouse some pilgrims who were walking to Lourdes. Personally I cycled from Lourdes to Saint-Jean_Pied-du-Port and then to Compostela. It was super cool. And albergue in Lourdes is unforgettable.

    First Bar Syndrome

    It is nothing to be proud of but I know probably ALL bars/patisseries/good food shops on the Camino Frances... No comment. My most memorable bar experience was cycling Napoleon route. I was exhausted, dead woman cycling. Suddenly I saw a van, probably seasonal, standing by the road serving...

    Saint James in the V&A London

    Portico in London's V&A is perhaps not the best copy ever, but it made me stop as well:) I will have a look at that charming small statue of St James. Thank you for that. If you happen to be in Marylebone, visit St James' Spanish Place. It is very close to Wallace Collection, a townhouse with...

    St James' Feast Day in London's St James' Church, Spanish Place. Beautiful church with very interesting story behind. Afterparty was not bad either. Selection of quality Spanish dry meats, cheese and sparkling cava;)

    Happy Saint James Day

    Walking in and out of Leon may be tiring and uninspiring, but beauty of the Cathedral, Basilica and St Marcos will compensate for all the effort. Happy St James' Feast Day!

    Happy Saint James Day

    Happy pilgrim who is in beautiful Leon:cool: Please say hello from us to St Isidore in his breath-taking basilica and perhaps you can ask him to help all those who are creating this Forum for us. St Isidore is a patron of the Internet;)

    Will it be hot in August on Camino?

    I cycled Camino Frances in second half of August years ago. It was very hot - way over 30 degrees and busy. I was ok mostly because I started in France where it was 36 degrees... The stage between Buros and Leon does not have shadow of shadow (Welcome to Meseta Central) so bear it in mind. Hat...

    Bed bugs once again

    I'm so sorry for you. Please go to the first travel shop and buy anti-bedbug sheet. And special spray for your sleeping bag. Follow the instruction. And you will be fine - bedbugs will loose an interest in you. Tasted in dirty albergues.

    Awesome Place by the River between Zubiri and Pamplona!!

    Don’t know about walkers as I walked the Camino 12 years ago, but we cyclists have our amazing ten-kilometers-long cycling lane to Pamplona by the river Arga. The river to your left, park to your right, a lot of picnic opportunities. Oh, I forgot to mention a small waterfall. Love it!
