    SJPDP to Roncesvalles in a Day....hmm

    We started in SJPP about eight days ago, but stopped in Orrison in part to allow for a recovery from jet lag. I just turned 60 and, in retrospect, think going all the way to Roncesvalles on the first day would have been fine. For us, we stopped in Orrison for the experience, meeting a smaller...

    Accomodation...or lack of

    For what it's worth, we're currently on the CF staying in Estella and have had no trouble getting beds booking one night out at the private albergues. In Pamplona, one of our group walked in at 1 or 2 at our albergue and still was able to get a bed. Spaces appears to be tight, but a little...

    It's today, my very favourite day

    We appear to be just a day ahead of you in Zubiri, and have thoroughly enjoyed our walk thus far, particularly the beech forests in the fog. Buen Camino.

    LIVE from the Camino Rain, fog, mud ... and a wonderful Camino thus far

    The temp was varied. When we left SJPP it was probably close to 50 F, but it was quite cold and damp at the higher elevations. I'm not sure of the temp, but am guessing it was closer to 40 with a wind that made it feel colder. We did see a few piles of snow along the way. Layers worked well. I...

    LIVE from the Camino Rain, fog, mud ... and a wonderful Camino thus far

    My wife and I started out of SJPP on Friday, staying our first night in Orrison. The hike up to Orrison was a workout, with rain pretty much the whole way - though the views were still beautiful. Our second day was fog and rain most of the way, and we couldn't see more than 100 yards in any...

    April /May/June 2016 Peregrinos - Camino Frances

    My wife and I (Mary and Joe) leave the same day, so our paths will likely cross. Looking forward to it. Just 16 days to go. Buen Camino.

    April /May/June 2016 Peregrinos - Camino Frances

    We're from Michigan, USA. I just turned 60 6 days ago and my wife (Mary) turns 60 in June. We've been married 33 years. We have three sons and one granddaughter. This is our first Camino. I wish I was retiring soon, but it's going to be a few years yet. We just finished our first 24km walk today...

    April /May/June 2016 Peregrinos - Camino Frances

    Spammy: We're (Joe and Mary) arriving in SJPdP early on the 12th, so sharing a taxi won't work, but we'll surely see you on the Way. We start our walk on May 13th, stopping in Orrison for the first night. Just 32 days to go! Getting pretty excited to start. Buen Camino.

    Flying back to Paris from Santiago

    Booked the Parador for the end of our trip. Now I just have to look for that pendant. :D

    Flying back to Paris from Santiago

    Thanks for the replies. We'll probably end up booking ahead to be safe. Laurie: Thanks especially for the detailed response. It is much appreciated. I was indeed trying to figure out a way to get to Paris if we could fit it in at the end. Its my wife's 60th birthday right about the time we will...

    Flying back to Paris from Santiago

    My wife and I will be walking CF this summer (starting May 13). We've allotted 38 days - though our hope is to finish in 35. The question is: Do we need to book plane tickets in advance for our flight back to Paris or can we wait until the last minute. We realize last minute tickets might cost a...

    You'll probably catch up to my wife and I. We start on the 13th of May and plan to take it slowly. Buen Camino. Joe

    April /May/June 2016 Peregrinos - Camino Frances

    Ditte: My wife and I start out the day before you, but given our anticipated slow pace, you should catch up to us along the Way. Have fun with the planning and Buen Camino! Joe (and Mary)

    Orisson

    While they are closed for the season, they will reply to email requests for reservations, though the process can be slow. We sent them emails back in late October and early November and just received a response last week, confirming our request. Today we received a PayPal payment request for a...

    What is the one Albergue that you would say not to miss

    Thanks.

    What is the one Albergue that you would say not to miss

    I've been going through this thread, looking forward to our Camino Frances this coming May. Granon comes up a lot as a favorite, but most posts don't say which Granon Alburgue they like. The list I have includes 3 alburgues: Casa de La Sonrisa, Parochial, and Alb Nuestra Señora de Carrasquedo...

    Orisson

    We've sent three emails over the past month with no reply. The first used the form on the refuge's website, the second used the email address refuge.orisson@wanadoo.fr, while the third we asked a friend to translate into French and also sent to refuge.orisson@wanadoo.fr. At this point we are not...
