    What is the one Albergue that you would say not to miss

    I agree with Granon - delightful albergue in the loft of the parish church. . Villa de Mazarife: Stay at San Antonio Padua - great vegetarian dinner. Hospital de Orbigo: Stay at Albergue Verde. Dinner is a group meal - also vegetarian. The owner's name is Mincho. I loved this place. If...

    Getting Euros at the best rate

    If you can get a debit card that does not charge any conversion fee (I use a Charles Schwab checking because you can open a checking account that has a debit card. They also refund any charges that the ATM may add to your withdrawal at the end of each month) you can get a small amount of euros...

    Renting horses to climb O'Cebreiro

    I love the horse ride. Call Victor at 638 041823 for a reservation when you get close. He only goes if he has at least 3 people, but he can fill up.

    Lodging help needed! O'Cebreiro and Triacastela

    I did not stay in O'Cebreiro. Atizenea in Triacastela was great. It is an old stone house. Lovely people. Check Brierley's for the number.

    An excess of questions from a first time pilgrim

    I love my Zpack with all the extra pouches. I have been walking with it for the last two weeks and it is fantastic. So comfortable, light, and convenient.

    Is crossing the pyrenees really tough?

    Starting off slow, where to stop between SJPdP and Roncevalles

    Thanks. That sounds wonderful. I am still wondering what the essentials are for my first aide kit. Can you help me with that?

    Starting off slow, where to stop between SJPdP and Roncevalles

    I may be the only one, but I want to enjoy the Pyrenees. So I am stopping in Hunto and then in Orisson. I know that sounds crazy, but I want time to enjoy. Then I will do the hard part to Roncevalles.

    Check out ZPacks. They make a 1 pound (1.25 with the extra pouches) great pack.

    Self Guided ?

    I am 71 years old and going to begin my Camino on my own on August 26th. At first I was thinking about one of those tour companies, but decided against it. I want this to be "My Camino." I bought an Arc Blast Zpack (http://www.zpacks.com) which is very light. If I can do this (and I am...

    What is mine is not yours!

    If you clean your boots well, can you take them to your sleeping place. I have orthotics in my boots. I guess I should remove them and keep them with me at all times.

    Newbies Travel Time Question

    I am 71. I want to really enjoy my first Camino which I will begin on August 26th. My return flight is booked for October 30th so I have more than 60 days to complete the Camino and get to Finisterre and Muxia. Reading all the other posts about time lets me know I should have plenty of time...

    LIVE from the Camino On the Train to Pamplona

    That is exactly what I will be doing in late August (5 1/2 days in Barcelona and then off to Paploma via train). I would love to hear more about what you did and where you stayed in Barcelona. I am just planing that part of my trip. I don't know how to do a private conversation.
