    A bit of photos a bit of memories...

    Hi Josef, It certainly does! There are so many lessons in the camino that go beyond human understanding! I'm sorry for the predicament that shortened your first stage and put you in the hospital, but glad that those days spent there paid off wonderful dividends upon your return to life back...

    Hello Josef: Congratulations! All your slideshows are beautiful and have excellent choice of music. Your photographs have an amazing quality with vivid colors, sharp details even wide panoramas. Thank you for sharing them. One question though, what happened in Burgos? The third to last...

    Public holiday and rest day recommendation please

    May 1st , 2007, while a holiday, was also the rainiest day in the camino. That day's stage was from Navarrete to Najera and while crowded, bars and restaurants were open in those small towns. No problem getting breakfast, snacks, lunch or dinner, because theirs are pilgrim oriented businesses...

    café con leche

    Yes VT, Warm milk always! If you don't have an espresso machine with a milk frother, the best trick is to beat/whip it up with a hand mixer for about 10-15 seconds and then warming it up in the micro. Just don't beat/whisk in excess or it will spill over as you warm it. Add the freshly made...

    café con leche

    Hello, I’m a coffee lover and addict . One of my concerns on my second camino last April/May was the possibility of starting out a day without my strong cup of coffee along with the probability of getting headaches from "caffeine withdrawal". The solution was found in Pamplona at the Candy...

    Arriving late to Roncesvalles

    Hello Arlene, Don't be concerned about getting a credential in Roncesvalles, even if you arrive after the office has closed. Usually the kind hospitaleros have plenty to spare, even after everyone has checked in! When I arrived at Roncesvalles April 24 last year, I wasn't carrying a...

    Relief Map of Camino Frances

    I believe that the relief map Laura (ickgj) refers to is this one I got at one of the souvenir stores in Santiago. Measures 5" x 17" made of plastic and sells for about 6 euro. With no image available from the links MikeB submitted, it's difficult to tell if it's the same one. :idea...

    Beginning the end of March

    Hi, Amancio said: "Time being so tight, I would consider taking a taxi, the ride should be below 20 euro" Based on personal experience using both, when time is so tight, it's safer to take the metro or you'll be tied up much longer in traffic at the peak of the morning rush into the city...

    Beginning the end of March

    Hello Arlene; Here's the instructions to get from the Barajas Airport to Puerta de Atocha Station that Grant Spangler so graciously provided me for my camino last April. I followed them to the letter and got to the station safely in the mist of the morning rush hour. If you’re arriving at...
