I bought my Ryanair flight for 25 euro. Iberia also flies Santiago to Madrid. Ryanair only has 3 flights a day so check your departure time in Madrid and buy the flight before the one that should her you there even if it means a night in Madrid which it does for me but better than missing my...
Yes Kat keep us in the loop. I think we're all enjoying your posts. I agree with Al and whoever I read said the pics of your feet reminds them of the traveling gnome :D you could start a blog... Maybe something like Kat's Camino Adventures or Wrappy Feet or Gauze with the Wind or Singing in the...
Kat Alex is right you haven't failed at all. The other day I talked to a 70+ year old woman who said she had been wanting to do the camino since she was in her 20s but she never got around to it. You did it. You're there. Shit happens. It could happen to any of us so give yourself some slack and...
Oh I didn't mean you specifically -I meant whoever leaves at 10pm - I've read that a lot of other albergues also don't lock their doors but it's one entrance not as easy to escape as this one mentioned I guess - in any case this is disheartening - I don't want to feel like I need to look over my...
I'm so confused as to why they don't put locks on the doors???? - isn't it better for people to knock after a certain hour than to put everyone else at risk? Just doesn't make sense to me and I don't think it has anything to do with being attached to material possessions. I'm bringing an iphone...

Go to alsa.es. You can buy your bus tickets there from t4 Madrid airport to Pamplona with one stop and then a separate ticket from Pamplona to SJPP. They have three buses per day. The last one is at 5 or 6pm. When you buy your first leg Madrid to Pamplona you will find the route in the...
Thanks there's a whole section in the forum on vegetarian options - certainly not a lack of suggestions or information - just how to retain it all now ha!
I've thought about this and decided to bring protein powder with me for a morning or afternoon shake. I'm bringing a platypus for my water and then I'll carry around an empty water bottle and make shakes as I go - I'm only bringing enough for maybe 15-20 servings so it shouldn't be that heavy to...
I would LOVE to hear about recommendations for vegetarians on route! I'm practicing how to say "Does that have meat in it?" as I imagine Spanish food is heavy on the meat. Thanks!! Glad you made it!
