I may be wrong, but that looks like the alburgue at Hotel San Anton Abad in Villafranca Montes De Oca.
I remember having to walk down a grassy slope to get to those clothes lines, and it was agony as my feet were basically 2 large blisters at that stage lol. I ended up getting the bus to Burgos...
Do you mind explaining what is meant by 'everyone is avoiding the places they can't book'?
Does this mean that all the beds that can be booked online/via telephone are getting booked in advance, and the places where booking is not possible are no-where near full, because everyone that wanted a...
This is one of the only firm plans I have for my September Camino. I really would love to ride one of these horses up to O'Cebreiro,and I'm happy to read that they are well taken care of.
As I child, I really wanted horse riding lessons. I never got them, due to an unfortunate case of...
Oh wow, you are getting a lot more training done than me. I do 10km pavement walking most
Vaccine went great, thanks. Got it a week ago, and didn't even feel the needle OR get sick afterwards.
Oh wow, you are getting a lot more training done than me. I'm walking 7-10k most days, but that is...
Hi Meazara. Yes I am, planning to go all the way from SJPdP to Finisterre, so we will surely meet.
I am flying Dublin to Biarritz on 31st Aug, ready to start walking the following day.
Only 8 weeks to go😬
I'm a fellow pale skinned Irish female, and will be starting my first Camino on 1st September.
I lost my job yesterday, and would love to go immediately, but need to wait as there is no way my skin will be able to handle the heat.
On the plus side, having no job means I can spend the next 2...
Thankyou very much, that's exactly the info I was looking for.
I see they also do transport from Biarritz. 4 persons for only €24pp seems quite reasonable.
Would anyone reading this like to share transport from Biarritz to St Jean with me on 31st August?
My flight from Dublin gets in at...
Hi Bob. I shall likely see you at some stage, as my flight lands in Biarritz on 31st August, and I will also travel to St Jean Pied De Port that evening, ready to start walking on 1st September 2021.
I am not planning to stay in Orisson, but instead I have booked 2 nights in SJPdP, and will get...
I bought it for my daughter when she was younger, and she hated it. Very rarely see children eating peanut butter here in Ireland, certainly not any of the ones I know.
I would say Nutella is very popular here, and I'm a big fan of it myself. Lovely fresh white sliced pan, lathered in...
I am one of the people that has never done a camino before, so when I finally get to do it, I won't feel sadness at the prices, as I won't know what this alburgue or that meal used to cost.
I should count that as one of the blessings in disguise of having to miss out on the camino I had...
I was supposed to be on that flight😔(my original flight would have been 2nd April, and I'd rescheduled to today, thinking everything would be back to normal) but I have decided now is not the right time for me to do the camino. If things had been different, we would most certainly have bumped...
My original flight was booked for 2nd April. Obviously I couldn't go due to Corona, so rescheduled it for the 26th September, thinking everything would surely be back to normal by late September. Its not though, so that flight will be leaving without me. I just don't think its safe at the...
Thankyou for your reply, it really sets my mind at ease. I plan to be there around 1pm, so I will surely get a bed. Look forward to meeting you, and others on my Camino journey
I'm starting on the 3rd April via Valcarlos route, and the only booking I have made is for St Jean Pied de Port on my Camino-eve.
I hadn't planned on booking Rocesvalles alburgue. I understand later in the year (June/July) it may be full, but do people think it will be full in early April?
My Mum went to Medugorje a few years ago, and told me there were statues of Our Lady with flashing neon Halo's, and a 'nodding' Jesus for your car on sale in the souvenir shops. So tacky imo, I can't think why anyone in their right mind would buy these items, especially someone who has gone to...
