I hope you are catching up on your sleep. It’s frustrating not being able to sleep. Those are the times I want to just get up and start walking. I’m really looking forward to following your pilgrimage. What a lovely season to walk. Vibrant greens and yellows. Buen Camino!!

God Bless your...
Thank you. My next step was going to be reaching out to others who have already volunteered to ask for any pointers/tips. Would you mind sending the WhatsApp info to me in a private message? I’d love to join the group. 😎👣🌻
Ding, Ding, Ding 🛎️ You cracked the code. 😁 Yes, I will be volunteering there and very excited about it. I have such fond memories from this albergue where I’ve stayed twice but not since the new renovation. I’m sorry you weren’t able to serve. I hope your health issue has been resolved. April...
Yes, Logrono is definitely on my radar for an extra day/night. I've already planned two nights in Pamplona. I agree, not much to occupy one's curiosity in this area but I do need to fill in some time before I reach Najera. I don't need these extra days for rest, they are mostly for exploring...
Yes, thank you. I also asked about staying in-between the stages instead of a rest day. I won't be going past Najera this Camino but your idea sounds like a great detour. :cool:👣🌻
No, I am not there now. Just planning ahead a little. I looked into the Black Pearl, it has great reviews, definitely a possibility. I was really looking at Viana but since it's now closed for reno, hmmm.
Yes, Navarrete, Sotes or Ventosa all could work out nicely. Thank you. I'll do some more...
Thanks. Would you elaborate? I've stayed in both cities before. What would I be looking for if I stayed an extra day/night? What did you do in those places that made it special?
:cool: 👣🌻
Hola!! In need of some ideas. I'm needing to fill in some time and was wondering, what city/town/village/small village would you spend an extra day/night in and why? Or, someplace special to stay in-between any of the stages between Pamplona and Najera. Thanks so much.
:cool: 👣🌻
Henrik!!! I’m so excited for you! 😁 You’re very courageous and well on your way. Good to know you’ve booked in SJPdP. May I suggest you go to the Pilgrims Office there. They will issue you a pilgrim credential. I think it costs 3 Euro. Last time I was there in 2016 they also handed out a piece...
Yes, there are three different routes. #1 is along the road, pretty flat. #2 is the Padela, the one I took. #3 is the Dragonte, the one you will conquer. From the map Rick posted. The Dragonte is the one with the three mountains. It’s a doozy! I wish you all the best, you’ve got this!! And...
Yes, it must be just you. 🤣 I didn't feel I needed to be corrected and I spoke up about it. Rick was gracious enough to acknowledge this, I appreciate being heard by him. It's not always a dog eat dog world out there. ;)
The Option is very steep in the beginning. If you have any sort of knee, back, foot issues, I would skip it. I was literally using my hands (nearly walking on all fours) during the steepest part. It doesn't last long but it's a dozy. If I can do it, just about anyone can. Then there's the decent...
