    Conditions on Napoleon today (April 27)

    I'm excited to hear of your Baztan Camino. We've done the St Jean to Pamplona a couple of times now and have been debating on tackling the Baztan, Aragones, or Vasco. Will you be posting your comments as you do the Baztan? Many thanks. Jim in Idaho USA

    What would you change about the CF - if you could?

    Pilgrim office at beginning and end. Pay with your passport or with the credential. Of course it's not foolproof and easily avoided, but the point is I'd bet more would give than wouldn't. Thoughts?

    What would you change about the CF - if you could?

    I would establish a user fee of $20 per pilgrim to establish a way to cover the costs (especially in rural areas) for the clean up of the trash some pilgrims leave along the way. These small towns and villages shouldn't bear the brunt of pilgrim abuse, and it would create an income stream in...

    WARNING if you're leaving Sarria tomorrow (4th October 2023) ⚠️.

    Plans Cancelled!!!

    Hi Doc, We had the same fears just before starting from St Jean on April 20th. Just walked into Najera this afternoon. Nothing but bliss. Don't trust everything you read, and don't let yourself be scared off. We saw less than 30 pilgrims in 20km. It ain't bad out here.

    Tips for Tackling O Cebreiro Hill During Your Camino Walk

    Thanks for this topic and please don't think of this as the ramblings of a "Camino-snob." If you are a flatlander, these are hills. If you are from anyplace in the world with mountains, these are just a series of very brief, very easy, very manageable, mini-day hikes. Our first camino (in our...

    Is the Albergue in Roncesvalles a “must”?

    Hi there! It was priceless for us ... in fact, on our second trip, we're going top spend more time there (on purpose, not just because we're older). For us, now it's a "never miss."

    People walking 35 - 40 KM per day

    Here's our take: after we arrived back in the States after our first Camino, we were filled with overwhelming sense of regret ... why in the world didn't we take MORE time? We had it to take ... we actually had more time that we could have taken—and didn't. Not this time. We've decided to do no...
