    One Albergue that you’d recommend

    Albergue de la Piedra stands out in Villafranca del Bierzo. Very nice owners who are peregrinos themselves. Albergue Ecologico El Beso outside of Triacastela. Lovely owners. Vegetarian food. Albergue Casa Barbedelo outside of Sarria. Clean and modern, and the pool is an absolute treat on a hot...

    To each their own. I found it creepy and culty feeling. And don't expect to see that lovely vegetarian dinner until at least 8 pm so the guru can sing his songs first and stroke his own ego.

    Suggestions for 10 days

    Pau to Pamplona on the Arles/Aragones would be an interesting option.

    Injured my back and need to shorten my walk - which parts can be shortened (by bus...)?

    Patches are only a placebo and pain meds are only masking the real issue. Ice and a real heating pad will help relieve discomfort when an injury is in the acute phase. Use google translate and see a medical professional.

    A sports massage is deep release of tissues and typically is quite painful. That's the point of it. To do deep release of tight muscle tissue which will cause a significant amount of discomfort but within 24-48 hours the muscle will release and function properly again.

    Quick “The Way” synopses (and tribute)

    Any fan of the film and of the Camino in general should plan on making a stop at El Molino just outside of Hornillos del Camino just after Burgos. It's a beautiful old mill turned into a country inn and its connection to the film is a story that could have come straight from Hollywood.

    Spare shoes..required?

    My advice to you is if you are not overly fit stop in Orisson but be sure to book this early. You don't have to try to make Roncesvalles on your first day. It doesn't have to be an ordeal. I walked the whole Frances in hiking boots and brought a pair flip flops for off trail/end of day use.

    Extra day off

    Lovely albergue in Barbedelo with a pool. Very nice rooms and a good restaurant. Getting there early and enjoying the pool was like a mini rest day.

    The Meseta; Burgos to Leon

    I arrived in León yesterday and just completed the Meseta section. We had lovely weather for the most part. The walk was not boring in the least. The Camino is what you make of it. The big blue skies and gently rolling hills have their own beauty. I found that there was only one day that could...
