Leaving in two weeks and making some reservations ahead of time. Having an issue with Zariquiegui. It appears Posada Ardogi is no longer open. Correct? Also Hostel San Andres says it will take reservations but only has phone numbers. . Since I'm in Seattle I've tried late at night (early...
Starting to replan another Camino for fall of 2022. Has anyone heard from Istvan and Barbara of Corazon Puro? That was such a wonderful experience and start to the Camino. Wondering if they are considering coming back?

Hello Florida from the other side of the States (WA)
I wish we would have known about the Camino at 53! We watched "The Way" in 2012 at 65 years old and the next August we did the Camino Frances. We have a nice park with towering trees, occasional views of Puget Sound and lush vegetation. It's...
Donated. Would be nice to go way over needed amount and fix the sisters plumbing too. Wouldn't be right to just fix the pilgrim area plumbing and leave the sisters with unhealthy water. Another round of donations anyone?
That water felt sooooo good in August but as we got up to walk to the edge and put our shoes on we had a mishap. Just as I said "watch out for the moss" down went my husband, camera and pack.
We dropped a camera in the water here too. Cooling our feet off in August! We used the little packets from pill bottles that keep moisture out of medicine. Worked great. Next morning camera worked fine after leaving it in a bag with the little packets.
Scott,
I don't think anyone believes that the movie is reality! That or any other movie! The movie has inspired many to do a Camino, including my husband and myself. We did additional research to find out exactly what its like. As for not doing any good, I think every person that was inspired...
Bill Bennett, a fanous film producer, director and writer from Australia, has just written a book on Camino photography. It's called "Photo Camino: A Personal Guide to Photography on the Camino". It's available on Amazon. It addresses the types of cameras that are best and does include a chapter...
My husband and I walked from SJPP to Santiago last Aug-September and only saw about three days of partial rain. Being on a tight budget we tried cutting costs where we could. We bought $5 pack covers at Walmart and $6 ponchos. They worked great. As it started to mist, we threw on the pack cover...
My husband and I stayed here in August of last year. After slipping crossing a creek, my husbands pack was wet. They gave us a cold beer to just sit and relax a bit, washed all of the wet clothes, provided us with one of the two best meals we had on the Camino and were the nicest friendliest...
Kris,
My husband and I saw "The Way" in Nov 2012 and August of 2013 we did the Camino from SJPDP to Santiago. The Pyrenees were beautiful but so are all the other mountains you will go over. Each is special and different. Also, the movie leaves out the parts of how difficult it can be and shows...
Has anyone been able to contact Orisson in the last week or so. I have filled out their form three times and no response. This last time I did add that we would be willing to sleep in the tents in back . We are only taking liners - no pad or sleeping bag. Has anyone slept in the tents? What are...

Probably should have flown to Madrid. It looks less complicated and less expensive to get to St Jean. We chose Paris as until yesterday all bookings on Iceland Air were partnered with Alaska Air and we will be getting lots of miles. Also, we got the flight with 18 hour layover in Iceland...
Okay Paige and Angela, we have the Pacific Northwest covered. My husband and I are from Seattle/Tacoma area and booked our tickets on Tuesday!!!. We arrive in Paris on August 15th but we walk very slow so you may (probably will) catch up with us.
