    RETHINK walking the Frances

    For those planning the Camino for Mid-September to Mid-October there will likely be accommodation challenges too. Great to see SJPDP opening up the fire station in a pinch, but with an upward trend in pilgrim numbers it might suggest a more robust or enterprising solution is needed to manage...

    Average daily expenses?

    How much "cash on-hand" was a good question to ask. If you budget for +/- $60 a day and carry no more than a weeks cash you will be in a good spot. I found that when I had $1000 or more in cash I was on guard day and night. Much better to have $300 - $400 on hand and draw more from an ATM...

    Aunt and niece (hopefully!) setting off on 23rd August

    Day 1 is as daunting as it looks. Unless you are an avid hiker and can manage 24km in one day, - (16km of it up hill), then staying at Orrison is advisable (8km).

    Camino Frances October/November 2016

    I too am starting from SJPDP on Oct 7th. - Just starting slow to Orisson shelter the first day. I'm looking for a site-link to "share a taxi" from Pamplona in the AM of the 7th. Any suggestions?
