    What is your favorite (affordable) restaurant on the Camino Frances?

    When I did CdF in 2018 I met a guy in Roncevalles and we walked together the following day, stopping for the day at some random town halfway to Pamplona. There was only one algergue in that village and no place to eat. We were starving and asked the owner where we could get food. He said the...

    Is a sleeping bag or a liner enough for the Camino in April?

    I left SJPdP the second week of April and ended in Santiago the second week of May, back in 2018. I had a very light sleeping bag (rate 40 degree) that weighed about 600g (1.25 lb). I didn't need it every night but on the nights that I did I was happy to have it. My normal (20 degree) camping...

    Dilemma: Second Camino

    Thanks all for the replies! While I'm deciding between the two options, works and other issues do play an influence so I may have to lean one way or another as the year develops.

    Dilemma: Second Camino

    Hola Peregrinos. Que hubo? It has been almost two years since I did the Camino (Frances) and I'm getting an unexpected itch. It's funny, as the only reason I did it in the Camino in the first place was to accompany my 75-yr old father on it, as he had little trekking experience. As it turned...

    Barcelona Mistake?

    I did this as outlined on various threads here and it was easy. Bought train ticket (Barca to Pamplona) online and failed to buy bus ticket online because the website is wacky. Just walked into the bus station in Pamplona and went up to the window and bought it in person. It was easy to identify...

    (FOUND!) missing person in Najera region!|

    I'm a few stages ahead so I wouldn't have seen her but I'll say if she doesn't check in today maybe you might consider messaging albergues with her photo in case they've seen her. Not all have WhatsApp, but some do so it's worth a shot. If you want a Spanish phrase to accompany the photo, I...

    Camino april 2018

    Starting April 6 or 7 (still have to figure it out). I'll be in Barcelona from April 1 until I head to SJPP, so if any pilgrims in the city want to meet up for a copa, reach out.
