    LIVE from the Camino Walking the Dream

    Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I feel like I'm right there with you. Fonfria was one of my favorite albergues - great food, wonderful people, and fun meeting up unexpectedly with pilgrims I'd last seen days earlier. But instead of 10 at dinner, we must have had close to 100! I guess...

    Stamps- missing a few days

    It's been a while, but a few years back there were some stellar meltdowns on the Forum from people who'd been denied Compostelas. Maybe someone with more tech savvy than I could point you to them. But it has happened.

    A very wet day on the Camino Frances!

    Wow. That is quite a storm. Hope it's cleared by now and the mud dries quickly.

    Favourite Accommodation Splurge along the Camino

    LaPerla in Pamplona. Five-star elegance and right on the square. Hemingway stayed there when he was in town, although it's unlikely he'd recognize the luxury international hotel it is today. However, they honor his memory and still have a "Hemingway suite" (complete with a copy of "The Sun Also...

    Closures in Foncebadon

    The 15th was also the Feast of the Assumption, a special Holy Day in the Catholic Church and several other Christian denominations. I would suspect that, along with San Roque, would be the reason for the restaurants and businesses closing, although I wouldn't think albergues would close. I'm...

    @JabbaPapa , I've been following your pilgrimage since 2019 and it makes me very happy on your behalf to think of you now in Lourdes. Yes, always touristy and expensive but somehow, once on the grounds, that all fades into the background, doesn't it? But miniscule crowds at the grotto? I guess...

    Is Albergue La Finca closed permanently?

    Thanks for checking, @trecile . But, oh so sad. Such a great place and a real loss.

    Is Albergue La Finca closed permanently?

    One of my favorites, as well. So sorry to think it might be permanently closed. 😢

    Hope things change around for you soon, and the Black Dog wanders far from your path, not to return.

    So sorry to read of your latest physical and meteorological troubles, JabbaPapa. I'm glad you have found better sleeping arrangements tonight. Got you in my prayers that things turn around for you soon. 🙏

    Travel Company versus doing the Camino Frances alone

    As a retired travel agent this was my thought as well. You might want to ask your agent who is providing their ground services. Even if they have a good number of clients walking at the same time, it would be prohibitively expensive to provide dedicated bag transfer service across several...
