    Bypassing Sarria to get to Santiago

    Maybe if you are worried about the sharia bit, book your beds and book between the "stages"

    That's the one!

    The metal pedestrian bridge

    It was pouring with rain when I crossed that one. And traffic going too fast. Or is it a different bridge you are thinking of?

    A sign of the times

    How are you finding the Camino. Are the Albergues open? With less capacity?

    Frances or ingles route in May - solo walker

    I agree. It is totally different. Less people, less hostels etc, but the main hostels just did fill up so if you pitched up after 4pm you would be unlikely to get a bed. But these things come in waves don't they?

    Frances or ingles route in May - solo walker

    I think you just need to ensure you are there at a reasonable time. If you want to arrive late in the afternoon it is worth booking somewhere to be sure.

    Frances or ingles route in May - solo walker

    The Camino Ingles is much busier now than when you walked in 2015. Its less busy than the CF and there are only a few hostels as you say. However, I walked both in April/May 2018 and most of the main hostels were full each night on the Ingles.

    May 2020 - 1st timer - SJPP to Burgo

    Bayonne is lovely. I would really recommend spending a night there. There are some great eateries and a beautiful church.

    SJPP is Packed with Pilgrims.

    So sorry. That's rubbish that you are going to have to give up your camino

    Holy Year: 2021

    I would think it's going to be very busy.

    is the first day as daunting as it looks?

    I thought it would be harder than it was, but I was very please that I a) stayed in Orisson the first night and b) got my pack taken to Roncevalles

    This is a very Negative Post. A Vent.

    Oh dear Annie. Sounds like you need a break

    It appears to be happening again.

    Hi Andy Why don't you try the last 300k of the Norte? Your questions, yes take a sleeping bag, 80l rucksack far too big (think around 40, the wise pilgrim guides, you don't need goals, you won't be lonely before sarria and yes you can get coffee, but you did the Frances route last year didn't you?

    Anyone walked the Frances in May?

    Walked Frances last year at the same time. Lots of layers. Cold in the morning higher up. I found a lightweight fleece hat and gloves invaluable.

    Anyone care to share their experience walking CF in April?

    I started the CF mid April last year. Bits of it were very busy. It was cold in the mornings.

    Peregrino Torture Tower

    I really appreciate this thread and issue about the bridges in general. If there is one thing about the caminos I hate it is the bridges that go over the roads and motorways. My fear of them is not getting any better. I find i have to go down the middle (if possible) and look at the ground and...

    Sarria scams

    I saw them yesterday on tbe walk outside Sarria. They approched me. I was on my own and when I looked at the clipboard and realised the scam as had read this thread, I walked off with them making aggressive noises. About time the police do something.

    My first Camino

    I am on the Camino. You definitely need a reservation for Orisson and I would advise you reserve Roncesvalles too.

    Frustrated in Roncesvalles

    The Camino is really busy. I am in los arcos and everyone is booking ahead.
