    Albergue Emaus in Burgos —CLOSED

    We were very fortunate to stay at Emaús last September—one of our favorite experiences on the Camino! We had very good experiences everywhere, but nothing can compare to how welcomed we felt there. 🥰 The communal dinner was wonderful and the fellowship with the other pilgrims afterward was a...

    Accommodation prebooking

    We pre-booked our entire camino and I don't regret it! We did change our plans once after the initial booking and had to rebook about 60% of it 🤦‍♀️, but the hosteleros and albergue owners were incredibly nice and flexible in moving our dates. It relieved a lot of stress we would have had over...

    Tips for Tackling O Cebreiro Hill During Your Camino Walk

    We also stayed the night in Las Herrerías and tackled O Cebreiro mid-morning. I remember that part of thee climb was tough, but we didn't have nearly as hard a time with that climb as I anticipated. And, the tough part didn't last as long as I feared — I was thinking it would be on par with...

    How much did you spend and what was the total cost of your Camino Frances, start to finish?

    For a 35-day trip beginning in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Finisterre, our total budget pre-trip for two people, minus airfare and transportation, was $6,400 USD. Those expenses included all of our gear (backpacks, clothing, shoes, trekking poles, rain gear, sleep system, etc.), e-bike rentals...

    Advice: should we attempt SJPP to Roncesvalles?

    I don't know if I'll ever get used to how kind, open and helpful everyone is in this community! I value your wisdom and insights so much and am incredibly grateful for each of you taking the time to share with us!

    Advice: should we attempt SJPP to Roncesvalles?

    OOOOHHHH, thank you for sharing that video! I have been searching for videos like that! Planning our camino has been so much fun and also kind of stressful — trying to decide things like this in advance. I think we really just have to be prepared to let the camino guide us and not to get too...

    Advice: should we attempt SJPP to Roncesvalles?

    Thank you! :) We're definitely reminding ourselves over and over that we have to listen to our bodies and avoid injuries at any cost. I can only imagine how bad dealing with shin splints would have been for the rest of your walk, since they don't heal without rest. :(

    Advice: should we attempt SJPP to Roncesvalles?

    Wow, thank you for this! I actually "virtually" traveled the paved route from SJPdP a couple of weeks ago via Google, just to see what it would be like — I didn't realized that was already 2/3 of the trip that day. That also puts my mind at ease! (I thought I was being a little neurotic, looking...

    Advice: should we attempt SJPP to Roncesvalles?

    Ooooh, I didn't know Express Bouricott would do that! Also putting that in my notes, thanks! :) We do have reservations for Roncesvalles right now, and were hoping they would allow us to move the reservation to the second night if necessary, and if they have space.

    Advice: should we attempt SJPP to Roncesvalles?

    I think that if the weather is anything less than nice, we'll definitely opt for the 2-day trip across. Thank you! :)

    Advice: should we attempt SJPP to Roncesvalles?

    Thank you :) We're hoping to make it all the way to Finisterre in 34 days, so I'm afraid that spending the extra day would make that nearly impossible; but I'm also trying to also remind myself, like you said, that injuring ourselves would make the whole trip impossible. I have to remember that...

    Thank you! We'll shoot for 3 consecutive days of 10-milers soon!

    Advice: should we attempt SJPP to Roncesvalles?

    Thank you! I forgot about the pack transport — I'm going to make a note of that. This makes me feel a lot more at ease about it!

    Advice: should we attempt SJPP to Roncesvalles?

    I know the best answer to this question is dependant on our physical conditioning and the weather, but I'm hoping for some advice from veterans who may be in similar physical condition. My husband and I will start our camino in SJPP on Sept. 8, 2022 and our plan has been to make the trek all the...
