    FYI: Cash vs credit card on the Camino Frances in 2023

    Merchant fees (the percentage of the amount one has paid with a card that goes to the bank) range widely but there can also be a minimum charge, which is why you will sometimes see signs requesting that payments below a certain value (5 or 10 euros) are made in cash. Hence a preference for cash...

    LIVE from the Camino The Camino Needs You.

    Arriving in Santiago on Saturday after a fortnight’s walk. I couldn’t agree more that the Camino needs us. Far too many closed restaurants, cafes, hostels and hotels. I’ve spoken to people who are losing businesses that have been years in the making and are now threatened with the pain of...

    I'm guessing that you'll do this when the days are longer and actually 10 hours of walking either side of a decent lunch break will be rather pleasant if it means you see sunrises and sunsets. As long as your feet stay in good condition and you're not burdened with a heavy pack, this should be...

    Breaking up my Camino - advice welcome!

    Hi Claire, I was also taken by surprise by the fact that Easyjet don't fly to Biarritz until July (I'm heading off on the CF before Easter). If you want to start from StJPdP, this might help - what I'm doing is fly BA from Gatwick to Bordeaux, catching the "jet bus" (i.e. a bus) to Bordeaux...
