    BBC Program "Celebs" on the Camino

    Update: I completed St Jean to Burgos in the summer of 2018. The heat was pretty fierce but I survived.

    BBC Program "Celebs" on the Camino

    Watching episode 1 has me wondering if I could cope with the summer heat. The mountains looked magnificent. I've done Burgos to Santiago and the Camino Primativo but not the earlier part of the Camino Frances. Being a teacher it would be easiest to do it midsummer, a time I've avoided previously.

    Pilgrims friends who don't finish

    I saw someone yesterday struggling along the lovely path between As Seixas and Hospital das Seixas who clearly needed a pair of crutches at the least or better still to stop walking and allow an injury to recover. Congratulations to all those posters above who didn't push on regardless. I think...

    LIVE from the Camino Is finding accommodation on the Camino Frances, becoming too stressful?

    I met a number of people who couldn't find a bed in Hornillos del Camino in April. Some showed up at San Bol on Palm Sunday when I was staying there having had to travel 5.8km further than planned. The others I met further along at Sahagun. They said had taken a taxi to Hontanas to find beds...

    Wrong focus?

    I'm enjoying the planning. I was on a business trip to the UK last week and grabbed the opportunity to pick up a few items from the equipment shops there which would be harder to find where I live in Russia (an elastic washing line, a whistle and a sink plug). I am grateful to contributors to...

    Easter Sunday 2014: Burgos or Leon

    Hi Geraldina, Thanks for the link. I am really looking forward to the ceremonies and processions. This confirms that staying anywhere that insists on everyone being in bed by 10pm would be a mistake during Holy Week. Buen Camino Maureen

    Easter Sunday 2014: Burgos or Leon

    Hi Geraldina, I have similar plans. I decided to start from Burgos the weekend of Palm Sunday and I have booked accomodation in Leon from Holy Thursday to Easter Sunday. Whether I will be able to cover the entire distance from Burgos to Leon in time for the evening services on Holy Thursday is...

    Train Timetable for Places Between Burgos and Leon

    Thank you for the replies. I find Spanish surprisingly easy to understand so figuring out the timetable shouldn't be a major issue.

    Train Timetable for Places Between Burgos and Leon

    Here's my tentative plan for 2014 - spend Palm Sunday in Burgos, walk towards Leon for a few days, catch a train to Leon on Holy Thursday, participate in Easter services over the rest of Holy Week in Leon, then return by train to where I stopped walking and walk from there to Santiago over the...
