    Descent into Zubiri?

    That is a great question -- what are the other tricky sections...I want to go over my notes and I will get back to you. Actually after walking sections of the Coast to Coast in Northern England, I believe it would be useful to have that same analysis. And I am planning to take a navigation...

    Valcarlos route or Napoleon Route

    It was very rainy in the September 2022 day we began our Camino from SJPP, so we took the Valcarlos route. We had planned to take it all along, but had the day been beautiful, we might have taken the NR. The Valcarlos Route was so pretty! We had not been prepared for how pretty and varied the...

    Camino Congestion - Change routes?

    I really loved the Camino. We did the last section first (Sarria to Santiago) - actually a few years before! We both were working and could only take a little off…just too busy. Our goal was to do the “rest” or 420 more miles once we retired. Here is what I wish we could have done….done the...

    Descent into Zubiri?

    Tips for Tackling O Cebreiro Hill During Your Camino Walk

    This was exactly our experience! We started our hike first thing in the morning after breakfast, stopped for a snack as you mention, and had a glorious walk to O Cebreiro. There we ate, celebrated and consider it our favorite day of the whole CF.

    Question for the experts (about lodging in SJPP)!

    Hello! We are about 4 days into our Camino and we stayed in SJPP for 2 nights for the same reasons! We stayed at the Hotel Central. So nice with a very nice patio in front. We loved it! Info: HOTEL CENTRAL-H*** SAINT JEAN PIED DE PORT Address: 1, Place Charles de Gaulle Telephone...

    Your Opinion on how I will start

    Kathy, so the “downhills” sound doable in the Valcarlos route from SJPP to Roncesvalles. I’m 69 and have walked the last section of the Camino and several 100+trails in the UK. Any advice? Thanks!!

    LIVE from the Camino SJPDP 1st stage

    Your photograph of the sunrise is absolutely beautiful!! Thanks so much! We will be starting our hike in mid September and are walking the low way...Our legs are likely older than yours! So, I feel better about taking the low way after hearing your story. I hope you are feeling better today...

    SJPP to Roncesvalles – in praise of the lower route
