    Is pre-booking accommodation the new normal?

    Please advise me where to transfer the backpack to the next destination where the lodging is not pre-booked. Is it possible that you can transfer the backpack to the any albergues or municipal albergue only? Looking forward of hearing your advices.

    Accommodation prebooking

    I recommend the booking.com to book the entire lodgings, either albergues or private inexpensive hotels . The most places, listed on the booking.com are able to be cancelled free charge a few days before arrivals. When I took the Camino Frances last fall, I did make pre booking on the...

    LIVE from the Camino SJPDP 1st stage

    4RJN, In 2017 Spring time on my first Camino, I took Valcarlos route and I was almost dead on the way. Now I'm planning to take Napoleon route on this coming September pilgrimage. By just looking your pictures, I am probably older than you are. I'll use their baggage transportation from SJPP...

    Dear Merge My apology to you. I realized that picture I posted didn’t come via email. It was a screen shot and II printed it for the proof of the reservation. Sorry for the confusion. If you still feel uneasy I suggest you call the bank or a credit card company to check if they have taken your...

    Roncesvalles reservation

    Another suggestion is to check your bank account for the charge where the money is taken away and if any doubt, you can dispute the charge through your bank to make sure the money is actually paid to the hostel.

    Roncesvalles reservation

    I made the reservation through their web site a little while ago and had received "reservation locater(number)" and the money taken out of the credit card. This reservation is for Orreaga Roncesvalles Pilgrim Hostel and September 15th. arrival. They must be very busy around this time and I...

    Pamplona - Burgos in less than 5 minutes

    I'll be taking the camino on this coming September and I wish I could do the recording via GPS in the App. It's wonderful to bring the old fond memories back from Pamplona to the Burgos and wonder if you teach these peregrinos like me how to record them if it doesn't need a lot of the...

    stranded in bayonne for the night

    Unless the TGV's delayed, are the 35 minutes enough to get the ticket from the machine and board the St. Jean bound train? Second question is that arrival station from Paris is same as departure station to St. jean?

    stranded in bayonne for the night

    I'll be arriving Bayonne from Montparnasse at 17:32 and I have to catch the train leaving at 18:06 to St, Jean. I've bought a ticket online( 14.6 euro) and I still have to use a ticket machine to get a ticket at the Bayonne train station. I wonder what chance I might miss the train because of a...

    Camino Frances

    I'm glad to know there are number of people walking the camino around the same time. I'm a senior retiree, Korean-American living in Texas for 2 years, and 14 years in North Carolina prior to that. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you time to time for over 30 days on the way to Santiago...

    Cash withdrawing machines (ATM) on the camino.

    I can't find any information of how most pilgrims carry the money (euro) during the entire walk. I understand most Albergues do accept cash only. You do not want to carry a large amount of euro from the beginning. Is it fairly easy to get a cash from ATM in the towns on the way to Santiago? And...

    Camino Frances

    Don from Houston, TX I have scheduled to arrive St. Jean on April 11th or 12th depending on the train from the Bayonne and will be joining you guys off and on the camino. I think the weather on the Pyrenee would be a big factor for at least first few days of hiking. I hope the nature won't...
