    Camino in April

    I walked the Camino last Spring. I started at the end of March with snow in Roncesalles and finished in the beginning of May with much warmer temps. Inbetween there was rain, wind and mud to contend with, but also many beautiful, sunny days. As I am not a lover of heat I thought the conditions...

    LIVE from the Camino In Cizur Menor

    Hi everyone, I just arrived in Cizur Menor a few hours ago. The weather is beautiful, about 65 degrees or so and blue, blue skies. I arrived in Spain on the 26th and stayed overnight in Pamplona. The next day I took the bus to Roncesvalles and attended the Mass there. It was wonderful...

    2 days to go

    Sil, I just saw the photos that Javier posted. The snow in Roncesvalles in unreal!!! I will definitely call ahead once I get to Pamplona. Looks like I may be starting from there. Arlene

    2 days to go

    Michael, Mermaidlilli, Clarisa, and Arn, Thank you so much for the warm wishes. Your words mean more than I can say. It's a comforting thought to know that you're "right behind me" as Arn put it. Buen Camino to all of you! Arlene

    2 days to go

    Well guys, in exactly 2 days I'll be on my way to Mardid, and by the end of the week, I'll be walking my camino.I can't believe it's finally here! Tomorrow I'll go through my pack one last time to see if there is anything I feel I can eliminate. Everything else has been taken care of. I want...

    preparations

    Bear50, Wow, I'm impressed with your pack weighing so little, especially with having to bring the extra clothing!! That's where I'm having the most trouble. Even though I made a point to buy light weight items, it's the clothing that seems to weigh the most. Best wished to you for a buen...

    preparations

    Well, today is March 1st and I leave on the 25th!!! The last few months have gone by so quickly and now here I am, less than a month away. As far as my preparation goes, I walk my dog almost everyday for a few miles. A few times a week I take the dog home and continue on my own for a few more...

    Mid March Camino

    Hi Winuska, I'll be starting out from Roncesvalles on March 27 or 28th, close to when you'll be walking. I can completely relate to the nervousness/concerns about walking alone, weather conditions etc., especially now that the time is getting so close. But more than anything else, I'm just...

    Arriving late to Roncesvalles

    Hi Lillian and Laura, Thanks for sharing your experiences. Lillian, I'm going to take your advice and not worry too much more about it. What will be, will be....it's all part of my journey, and I can hardly wait. Just a little over 6 weeks to go!!!! Arlene

    Arriving late to Roncesvalles

    You guys are great! Thanks so much for all the detailed info/suggestions. I have quite a few options and so I'll do my homework to figure out what will work out best for me. Muchas gracias!! Arlene

    Arriving late to Roncesvalles

    Thanks for the information Marilyn. And as for the "acts of kindness" stories, they're wonderful, and I'd love to read more of them! Arlene

    Arriving late to Roncesvalles

    Kelly, Thanks so much for the info. I've already purchased my round trip ticket Phili/Madrid but I'm still going to see what I might be able to do about flying to Pamplona. I'm not sure if it's possible to make changes to my flight plans at this point though. If I do stay in Pamplona I can...

    Arriving late to Roncesvalles

    That's a nice gesture Arn, giving out pins to fellow forum members. I hope I come across someone in the forum as I walk, but it seems I'm starting a little earlier than most. But who knows.... Arlene

    Arriving late to Roncesvalles

    Hi Sil, That's an interesting idea. I've never heard of an "Open Jaw" ticket. It seems like flying to Pamplona could solve my timing problem. I'm going to check it out. Oh, and on another note, I think it was you Sil who suggested getting the Forum pin to wear on our packs, so the Class of 08...

    Arriving late to Roncesvalles

    Hi Deirdre, It does sound like a good idea to spend the night in Pamplona and then spend a good part of the next day exploring the city. That way I'll also be well rested before beginning my walk. I don't have to worry about San Fermin, I'll be there at the end of March...well before the bulls...

    Arriving late to Roncesvalles

    Hi Deirdre, I'm hoping to get to Roncesvalles in time for the 8 pm Mass. It all depends on the timing. I arrive in Madrid around 9:30 am. According to the train and bus schedules that I've been looking at, I won't be able to make any of the morning departures to Pamplona. My options are...

    Arriving late to Roncesvalles

    Does anyone know how late you can arrive at Roncesvalles and still get your credential? I'm concerned that if I get there late I won't be able to stay at the hostal/albergue. I ordered my credential from American Pilgrims on the Camino, but even after several requests, I still haven't gotten it...

    Beginning the end of March

    Thank you all so much for this excellent and very detailed information on using the metro!! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. I feel much better knowing how to get from the airport to the train station. Muchas gracias, Alrene

    Beginning the end of March

    Deirdre, The train from Madrid to Pamplona sounds like a good option. How did you get from the airport to Atocha station? Arlene

    Beginning the end of March

    Hi Sumachado, I'm coming from the US, flying out of Philadelphia. There's no major reason why I chose to start from Roncesvalles instead of SJPP. I guess because it's the starting point in Spain, and I figure it will save me a day. I have about 35 days to do this. I actaully wish I could be...
