I am willing to spend two hours looking for it near the cathedral, and I will ask in at the St Francis of Assisi as I want to get that certificate as well. Thanks for that info Scruffy! And you want three braclets, right, yeah you do... i...

    Start in Leon or Astorga?

    The best alburgue is in Hostipal de Orbigo... Albergue Verde. ` Do yourself the pleasure of stopping in and having dinner. Plus you can do a yoga class and or have a massage by donation. I stayed two nights just to enjoy the atmosphere, the love, the wonderful evening meal. Albergue Verdi, I...

    Old pair of sneakers?

    Hi Tamara, Mmmm...tried and true or new? Last year I walked 500km in a pair of Blundstones ... My feet remained dry and blister free. This year I bought a pair of waterproof hiking boots and I too question the shoe issue. I found that there is a lot of concrete walking and I noticed that Spain...

    3weeks on the Frances in October

    Meseta is neither flat nor boring! I believe the word is undulating ... Yes undulating, with flat areas. I was told to bus ahead on that stretch but ever so glad I did not! That is where my Camino Pod or family knitted together. It was the area in which I understood that I was praying with my...

    O Cebriero - the worst place to stay ...??

    I really enjoyed the irish host at the Najera muni...but there are just too many beds in that room and not ceiling fans! Oh the snoring, tossing and turning, early morning risers, and how many toilets? 3 shower stalls for the women? Good people and great location tho. But after that evening I...

    Trekking Poles or Staff???

    I know you can of course order online, but going into a shop that can allow you a better feel for the grip and height.. Another thought is depending on where you start your Camino check at local alberguies, hotels and the like. They cannot be taken on a plane but only with checked baggage...

    Backpack for skinny woman over 50?

    I think that they are generally a brand in Europe ... I have not seen them here in Canada. But do a google search. I thought that they were pretty much the Decathalon house brand.

    Is crossing the pyrenees really tough?

    I walked last September 20th. Perfect weather... Meaning sunshine, fog, smattering of rain and muddy spots, sunshine again. Lucky! However a more experienced pilgrim suggested if I were to walk the whole way, as there were no beds or tents at Orrison, to send my bag on ahead. I did. I did not...

    Do you need to register in the pilgrim office in SJPdP before starting the Camino??

    If you register then it will aid in the stats for the year. As well that is where you can get a shell to attach to your bag.
