    Taxi? Can they find us in the middle of nowhere?

    We have had to use a taxi on a few occasions (stolen phone, no place to sleep, trail closed due to fire, etc). As mentioned above, we simply asked someone at the albergue or a bar to help us and within 10 minutes were whisked off in an air-conditioned vehicle speeding past terrain that took us...

    Rethinking my CF-ish route after Burgos (and I start in 7 days!)

    I'm so excited for you - six days! It's worth repeating what many folks have already stated, you will have a much better sense of what you want to do once you are walking, and you may discover the last thing you want to do is be on a bus or train for any portion of the route. A wonderful part...

    SJPP to Logroño

    Take as much time as you can; it is an absolutely gorgeous walk especially in late April/early May!

    I'm looking for understandable detailed online map or tables of Camino Francés

    Yes, getting lost makes for some fun memories most of the time. We thought we were lost on day one, at a fork in the road, no arrow, in the fog and snow, dead phone battery (live and learn) . . . until the fog lifted, and we saw the two roads led to the same place a hundred yards in front of us.

    I'm looking for understandable detailed online map or tables of Camino Francés

    I guess one of the unrealized benefits of simply following the yellow arrows is not being aware of how lost one could be. :)

    I have found this site very useful for planning: https://godesalco.com/plan/frances I don't think it has been mentioned yet.

    possible town to stop in between Los Arcos and Najera

    Lovely hotel and restaurant in Vianna. https://www.hotelpalaciodepujadasbymij.com/es/ Navarrete (a nice dining terrace overlooks a small plaza - it is an especially nice memory) https://hotel-rey-sancho-navarrete.negocio.site/

    LIVE from the Camino Struggling with doubt on the Camino Frances

    So much wonderful encouragement above! I would just like to add that the walk between Estella and Villamayor de Monjardin is beautiful. Walk slowly.

    For Sale/Wanted Top Albergue of the French Way for Sale in Hospital de Orbigo

    Hello, I shared the link to this forum page with my brother who I thought might be interested. He thought it looked like a great opportunity, but it's not something he is prepared to do at this time. Best of luck to you.

    Apparently one man's sarcasm is another's irritant. :)

    Do you really need to visit the Pilgrim Office in SJPdP?

    Avoiding a long line could be a missed opportunity. The line at the Pilgrim Office is usually fun and filled with happy, enthusiastic folks. You might not see that again until Sarria! :cool: I'm just kidding, you will find lots of happy and enthusiastic pilgrims at Orisson and all along the...

    Pamplona to Los Arcos or Logrono?? 3 days -

    Villamayor de Monjardín is 9.1km past Estella which still makes for a very, very long walk into Logroño. Apartment Markiola is wonderful, accommodates 4 people, and it looks like they have availability in two weeks. To make the last day a shorter distance, I would suggest ending your walk in...

    How does Tour de Mont Blanc compare to CF?

    TMB is spectacular. It has all been said in earlier posts: very difficult, expensive, book in advance, excellent food. Timing is important. We hiked in September which in 2016 was cold and rainy, and many places were closed which made for very long days. We revised our plans quite a bit because...

    Your gracious opinions on my itinerary for 1st 10 days from Pamplona

    Hello, I didn't plan our first walk and it was wonderful. Having said that, I love to plan (I get a lot of joy out of it), but always with the understanding that things will change. I planned our 2022 walk with our family (it seems our group gets larger each walk) and I have attached the...

    How steep is the climb to Alto de Perdon.

    As almost everyone has stated, the walk up is not bad and the walk down is very difficult. The views are spectacular! Last year, for this segment I had my pack transported because of the downhill portion. It made a huge difference not having a heavy pack affecting my balance. We stay in Uterga...

    Warm clothing for a late April departure?

    April 12, 2015 April and May are beautiful on the CF, but I wore my favorite wool sweater just about every morning.

    rookie seeking advice please

    Hi, This is a great planning tool https://godesalco.com/plan/frances. You can experiment with different starting points and distances. My two cents, start at SJPDP and see how you feel as you go. Happy dreaming.

    I need to shorten my walk

    Hello, You could take a train from Frómista to León: https://www.rome2rio.com/map/Fr%C3%B3mista/Le%C3%B3n-Spain I'm not sure how many days that would save you, but you would still get a little taste of the Mesita (I think the walk into and out of Castrojeriz is one of the most beautiful parts...
