We're this evening in an albergue in Castrojeriz that as I write has lots of available space at 17.15! We've walked from SJPDP, started 2 weeks ago, no booking ahead, and got beds each day without any difficulty.
Buen Camino
@Katharina I had no idea we would need to book accommodation at Roncesvalles -we will arrive at SJPDP on Tues next 13th and plan to walk to Roncesvalles on Wed 14th. Would it be wise to book then? Buen Camino
I hope today has been a wonderful experience and that you are well and truly on your Way! We will be following in your footsteps in two weeks time ;-) Buen Camino
Hi, we are flying into Biarritz on 13th Sept and plan to start from St. Jean on Wed. 14th. This is our first time to attempt the full route - we have done stages as far as Sarria over the past three years, the longest has been for 12 days. Excited / nervous / can't wait!
Buen camino everyone...
We will be flying into Madrid with Ryanair on Tues. 2nd June at 9.55am to start the third section of our Camino in Leon. Is it better to get a bus or train to Leon, in terms of ease of access from the airport? Should we book this before leaving home?
We reckon we should get to Triacastela by...
Thanks for that info. We start from St Jean on Wed next 29th and will keep an eye on this thread. Any updates will be appreciated. Seems like gloves and warm hat need to be added to the pack. Buen Camino everyone

Hi Bryans,
Thanks, I've just bought a pair of walking poles this morning in lidl. Now must practice walking with them. Of course now that I think we have our arrival sorted I'm worrying about the return journey to the airport - I didn't realise when I booked our flight for monday 10th that...
Thanks Margaret and everyone - public transport is a bit of an issue everywhere it seems. But we've just now booked ourselves into the Mirano for the night of the 27th, so hopefully that will work out fine. It seems to me likely that we will need to get a taxi to there from the airport but hope...
Thank you so much Margaret for all those details. We will go ahead and book the Hotel Monte Carlo and arrive fresh in St. Jean on the 28th!
Buen Camino,
Margaret
Hello everyone,
We're a couple, late 50's, 60, (nervously) preparing to attempt our first Camino. We arrive in Biarritz from Dublin on Monday, 27th May at 21.10 and wonder what is the best way to get to St. Jean at that hour on a Monday night. Taxi??
And I'm sure we should pre-book...
