    Re: Current Lunch Prices

    Now let me think..... I don't use ketchup so perhaps it was OK to drink the wine!

    Re: Current Lunch Prices

    I wish I hadn't read the post especially as I am off on the CF later this month! I always thought it would be rude to leave some.😁

    Accommodation - to book or not to book

    Atapuerca is another place that is worth booking - if available as I have seen pilgrims having to get taxis to Burgos if nothing is available locally or at San Juan de Ortega or Ages.

    Accommodation - to book or not to book

    As an "older" (ancient?) member I like to know where I will be staying so I book everything in advance (train ticket to the airport, flight, taxi to SJPdP, accommodation all the way to Santiago (wing the bus ride to the airport!), flight back to the UK and train ticket home). However that is me...

    Los Arcos accommodation..

    Having looked at Hotel Monaco's website what does "Casualty, Stocking, Loud" signify re the accommodation? Edit: Had a thought, is it low, Medium and high season?

    Los Arcos accommodation..

    I stayed at the Monaco in 2019, not far (100 yards or so) from the square and church. The square is a good place to sit and meet up with fellow pilgrims, and there are a couple of cafes with lots of seating outside. I had a really good pilgrim meal in the Monaco hotel in the evening - 12 euros...

    Camino Newbie - Lots of Advice needed and appreciated

    As you can complete a marathon, which for most is about mental strength than speed/fitness then I would go for the longer distance. Adjust your pace, start early in the day, take rests (eat, drink and chat) a shame to come that far for 100kms if you could complete a greater distance - double...

    Cowboy Bar

    Photo from May 2022 including a photo of the inside (despite no photos - sorry) but I was a customer! I did think at the time if I pass this way again I would go to the one next door.

    Cowboy Bar

    Yes that would be the one! It has a sign somewhere showing no photos - can't think why.

    Cowboy Bar

    It was open in May 2022 when I popped in for a drink and a rest.

    Searching for a camino buddy May 2024!

    Through searching who was starting the same day, I messaged a few people and we met up outside the Pilgrim Office at a set time the night before we set off and went for a meal together. It was a good start meeting up and whilst we didn't arrange to walk together we chatted as we passed each...

    The Perfect Souvenir

    Just be careful in importing seeds, especially those picked up from the side of the path as you may be importing a disease and/or it may be illegal. My souvenirs are in my head and in my journal which I occasionally read during the cold winter months.

    LIVE from the Camino Tomorrow I begin!

    I remember the day well, with much anticipation of the journey ahead. Eat well tonight, not too much alcohol in order that you are not dehydrated tomorrow. Start slow then slow up and enjoy the day, it is not a race.

    Looking for partners to start the journey with!

    Go to the September 2023 thread and message all those starting on the same day from SJPdP. Suggest meeting up outside the pilgrim office and go for a meal. Even if you don't "hit it off" then it is comforting to see them along the route and check how each other is going.

    San Juan Bautista Albergue vs Champions League Final?

    Very small radio/phone with earpiece? You may not need to watch it as Man. City will win, I am an expert as I predicted Liverpool would win last year!

    Disparities between Wise Pilgrim and Brierley distances

    On the way out of Hontanas there is a sign showing 248 miles to Santiago. It also showed 457kms (i.e. c. 284 miles) and 95 leguas (i.e. a league being 3 miles on land so 285 miles). So presumably they mixed up the number of 284 miles as 248 when they painted the sign!

    Accommodation prebooking

    31 days, the longest 25 miles to Sahagun, the shortest 8 miles from Lavacolla to SdC so that I could get there early to enjoy myself, get my Compostella, etc, and catch my plane home later that day - well early the next as I slept at the airport!
