    Is San Anton and/or San Nicolas open?

    I think that it is open. when you want to check whether Albergues are open or not use the website www.gronze.com it is in spanish, but you can have the website translated on your phone into english or practically any other language. At least on my iphone. In the top bar where the webadress is...

    Reservations Ahead

    I would stay ahead 3 days at the time if I were you. It is still busy. Advise to use the Gronze.con website they are very up to date with openings and closures of hostels. Buen Camino

    If you want to take 4 rest days on the CF, where would you stop?

    We stayed an extra day in Pamplona, Burgos and Leon. Mainly because there is lot to see/visit in these big cities. And I would certainly advise to stay a couple of extra days in Santiago after you finished! You need to slowly get used to idea that you have done it! YTou don't want to rush back...

    Dealingwith the heat

    Take more then enough water with you. To keep your head and body cool just soak a kitchen cloth (pref of cotton) in water and put it on you neck. Keep a hat on! Use sundcreen! And........ Buen Camino!

    Water bladder or no water bladder; that is my question?

    Hi there, in my opinion you defenitly don't need a bladder of any kind. If you have a 500 ml bottle somewhere, there are more then enough places where you can fill it up ( do it every time there is an opportunity)

    What to eat between St Jean and Roncesvalles

    We did it last year in September. We found a butcher in SJPDP who sold VERY good dry saucisses. We took 4 with us. They lasted about two days. You can't get the same in Spain!! I remembered a guy somewhere high up in the Pyrenees with a van and nice warm stuff you could buy between SJPDP and...

    First Timer Concerned with Amount of Walking per Day

    You need no more then 2 days to "see" and "experience" Pamplona, then take the bus to Burgos and start from there when you really want to have a spiritual experience on the Cammino AND finish in Santiago.

    Toughen your feet?

    Hi, we walked the CF last september. Spaying your feet a couple of weeks before you go with Camphor Alcohol spray will certainly help to "harden" your feet. This, in combination with well broken in shoes and "double socks", did it for me (and my wife). The "urine story" is a hoax. This was...

    Unwise pilgrim seeks advice from wiser ones!

    We (my wife and I) are also starting in Sept 3rd. In SJPdP. I don't know if you have a smartphone, but there are great apps out there which put OffLine information at your fingertips about the stages (proposals) and places to stay etc etc. I personally think that the App called Camino Guide from...
