    Where to spend Easter on the Camino Frances?

    Back in 2009 we were in Pamplona for Palm Sunday and watched the street parade. People in it were waving palm fronds. They handed some to us and encouraged us to join in the parade.

    Holy Week 2019

    In Spain there will be parades with people in 'KKK like' costumes with large floats walking through the towns on Palm Sunday (before you start), Good Friday and Easter Sunday - all spectacular. And LOTS of Pilgrims who walk just for the whole week starting on Good Friday. We got quite a...

    Looking for Best Pilgrim Common Meal

Ciraqui - Maralotx; Estella - Parraquoia; Granon - in the Bell Tower; Tosantos - Run by Fransiscan monks - a Pilgrim coked for everyone...
