    November walking starting St Jean 26th October

    It will be cold...I remember so well that bright and sunny morning in Najera where a pharmacy's thermometer showed 8 degrees in Celsius. It was the beginning of November.

    I arrive into Santiago de Compostela at 5am from Porto

    One more - Sarria is a starting point for many pilgrims so it is mad. So my advice to you would be calling in advance Albergue Monasterio de la Magdalena and check if they can reserve the bed for you. There are 19 albergues in Sarria so plenty to choose from however they can be noisy. I'm sure...

    I arrive into Santiago de Compostela at 5am from Porto

    I cycled the Camino in August once, it was very hot, but I still had thin sleeping bag.... I don't know...Maybe try liner you have and if you are cold you can buy something in Sarria.

    I arrive into Santiago de Compostela at 5am from Porto

    Plus starting your Camino from the place you suppose to finish it doesn't sound right ;) Sarria is uninspiring place, so you can go to bed as soon as you arrive and leave it the next morning without looking back.

    I arrive into Santiago de Compostela at 5am from Porto

    Stay in Porto and drink some fortified wine. Now is a high season so getting anything in Santiago may be a problem

    I arrive into Santiago de Compostela at 5am from Porto

    I see. Some of them as tercile already said let you in 24h if you have a code, but they do not necessarily have somebody on duty

    Accomodation St Jean Pied de Port

    With my best knowledge in high season they are open until 10 o'clock. They wait until the last train from Bayonne arrives.

    Accomodation St Jean Pied de Port

    Hola Meindl! The best boots for the Camino by the way;) I am one of those pilgrims who walked Camino without blisters. Glory without pain. SJPdP is charming town at the foot of the Pyrenees. It is lovely, but is...small. Take a look yourself...

    Alternative to Cruz de Ferro

    WalkingGoddess I am sure that you will find the right place to leave all of your fears, sorrows, hopes and thanksgiving. Wish you Buen Camino from all my heart! I miss the Way so much...

    Alternative to Cruz de Ferro

    Internet may sometimes create a bit of confusion. Cross of Lameiros depicts the Passion and the Virgin and the Child, while on the pedestal are Christ, with the symbols of his Passion and His feet and Mary again this time as Our Lady of Sorrows. Clear photos of Cruceiro de Lameiros has on...

    Alternative to Cruz de Ferro

    Cruz de Ferro is often crowded, that's true. However if you are blessed to be there by yourself (and it can happen even in season) then you will never forget it because it is like standing at the foot of Golgota. But do not worry - I think that I have a place you are looking for - Cruceiro de...

    Walking/Biking Sarria to Santiago on trails

    Hi Susan! Personally I think that it is easier to walk than cycle in Galicia. Your friend will have to cycle roads between Sarria (100km) and Gonzar (that is 44 km to SANTIAGO). So you won't spend time together. And it is not easy ride. Imagine never-ending hill...

    Any suggestions for place to stay in o pedrouzo.

    If you like to stay in some quiet place far from madding crowd perhaps you should consider Santa Irene, two kilometres before Arca? There are two albergues there - municipal one by the main road (road may be a bit noisy) for 6 Euros or private one that costs 13 Euros. Arca Pedrouzo is friendly...

    Alberges list handed out from the Les Amis Du Chemin De Saint Jacques, in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, France.

    Hi! If you are looking for an updated version of albergues from SJPdP Pilgrim's Office I can try later on to find the website they usually publish that on. However bear in mind that some of the info will be out of date. Do not blame them for that - they got all the information from the albergues...

    How many detours can I fit in on my second Camino?

    One of my favourite places on the Camino is Cartuja de Miraflores in Burgos. A hidden gem of the Way. Every single time I’m there I am surprised that so few pilgrims visit this Carthusian monastery. Getting there is very easy – you have to walk/cycle the path along the river. The walk is the...

    Bus Tricastilla to Samos?

    Samos is a bucolic town but has all the services. One of my favourite places on the Way. Personally, I would pay those 4 Euros for a visit to the monastery just to see an 18th-century fountain with ugly Nereids.
