    Finding the statues that mark the “half way” point near Sahagun

    Just beyond the hermitage after you cross the little bridge. Within sight of Sahagún.

    Where to stay in SJPDP- September 2024

    Pics of Gite Bidean. They are closed on Sundays. I wanted to reserve for Saturday AND Sunday, He let me stay and on Sunday I had the whole place to myself.

    Where to stay in SJPDP- September 2024

    Gite Bidean. Very spacious and loaded with cool household furniture. Most beds are individual twins. It’s down on the lower level, so you only have to go up the wretched hill once - to visit the Pilgrim Office for your credential.

    Stamping process

    Anywhere and anytime. I am a unapologetic stamp addict and can easily amass a dozen in a day. My favorite is going to a post office, buying a stamp, pasting it in my credential, and getting the local postmark with the date. This one is from León, but the name LEÓN is nearly hidden. I also...

    Bag forwarding on the Camino Frances, March/April 2024

    I think the whole Francés was €155 last year and I had something like 45 stages.

    Correos Luggage transfer

    I paid in advance for the entire CF in ‘22 and ‘23. No issue. Not sure what you mean by “country locked to Spain.” Correos only operates in Spanish territory, so your pick-ups and drop-offs will always be “in Spain.” You can, however, purchase the service from anywhere. Can you put up a...

    SJPDP-SDC in 32 days-is this realistic?

    Gronze.com divides it into 33 stages. Depends on how many miles you feel you can cover. 32 days would be about 15 miles a day, every day with no rest. For me (now 76), that’s a lot. I did my first Camino in 2015. I had 36 walking days, and 5 rest days. I’ve done it 3 times since, all at a...

    More people the closer to Santiago?

    And There are so many personal variables with regard to what the best walking times and conditions are. My comment was simply one possible solution to the “crowd” issue, and it worked like a charm for ME. I am a sunshine, blue sky person and, as mentioned above, very “into” photography. A...

    Sellos... More important than certificates

    What a great idea! I remember being refused a stamp because I didn’t want to buy croissant #8 and “la tinta cuesta” (ink costs money). It would have been great to have been able to whip out my own ink pad.

    Sellos... More important than certificates

    I scanned mine into jpg format, included a few related things and made this poster. Unfortunately, I don’t remember which website I used to put it all together.

    More people the closer to Santiago?

    Unless you are in a bed race, just start later in the morning. I used transport, made reservations, and had absolutely no desire to finish by 1:00 PM or start before 8:00-9:00 AM. I am very big on photography and finishing at 1:00 is wasting half the day. But that’s ME. If you start real...

    Albergue in Leon

    Leon Hostel. Right around corner from cathedral. More expensive than the “usual” albergue, but SO WORTH IT. I have stayed there twice.

    Sellos... More important than certificates

    I, too, go bananas over the sellos. This past year I began with seven SJPP credentials and filled them all. I actually had to cut back on the last few days because I didn’t want to end the Camino using a “mismatched” credential. I think the SJPP credential is by far the BEST ONE. It is...

    Los Arcos accommodation..

    I stayed at CASA DE LA ABUELA, a few steps from the church and main square, but I was in the albergue. They have a couple of private rooms pictured on their website, a link to which can be found on GRONZE. Owners very pleasant.
