    Stamping process

    What is a front-door Camino?

    Trash pick up

    I thought those were laundry bags! Got a couple in Logroño in 2021. They are great, don't make any noise when trying to start early. I'll have to make amends for their misuse and pick up more garbage next time.

    Sarria too busy?

    It's the dilemma of the Frances. We all want the community, but not not the crowd. Timing (start from Sarria on a weekday), strategy (stay in "off stage" towns), and luck (there are high and low tides all along the Frances, all the time) are important elements in avoiding a crowd from Sarria...

    Accomodation recommendations!

    So then, do you recommend we don't make recommendations? 😉

    The Meseta, and El Hostal Guzmán el Bueno and Medieval Galician Poetry…What???

    Wow Nick! What an interesting project and what an opportunity!

    Did he receive a compostela?

    CF: 9 days--> Starting on Pamplona or Ponferrada?

    I walked from Pamplona in 21' and from Leon just a couple of weeks ago. My personal preference would be Pamplona. Probably fewer people, but the Camino is less of a business over that section.

    Dog attack in Manjarin (humour)

    I can see full employment for a herding dog between Sarria and Santiago de Compostela! 😁😁

    Flies. Just sayin…

    I think the flies are caused by Spaniards putting water bottles in front of their houses.

    Flies. Just sayin…

    We had swarming flies only a couple of places across the meseta in July a couple of years ago. I was walking with my brother who wore white t-shirts exclusively. Those shirts were a fly super-magnet. As long as I stayed 6 ft behind, I could watch him swatting and cursing while I remained...

    Camino Irritants

    How about trying a different, less populated camino. Less people, less sound and disturbance.

    Resting in Burgos

    I went to Iván Bragado Fisioterapia in Burgos. He did a good job on some overstressed shin muscles. It's on the other side of the river, not far from the bus station.

    Camino Francés Federación to ban suitcases in their albergues (11 albergues affected by this rule)

    Isn't it obvious to everyone? The statue is a tribute to the early Jacotrans service. He's carrying the suitcase of a wealthy pilgrim!! 🤣🤣

    Safety for pre-dawn starts on the Camino Frances

    If you plan to get up that early, use only your own light and make sure it has a red light setting. It's amazing how much difference that makes in not disturbing others!

    “Disconnect on the Camino” project - walking without electronic devices

    I listen to books quite a bit. However, when I want to enjoy a beautiful sight or think something through, books are a distraction. Personally, I think being distracted by a book would take time away from contemplating the walking experience and from being open to new people. Maybe after a...

    Advice on Frances Stages March 2023

    Where did you get this map? Did you make it yourself? I like the presentation of major stops.

    Please plan to stop in Navarrete 8 miles outside of Logrono

    I've never been to Navvarrette.

    Recommended Accommodations for a 2-night Stay in León

    We enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Alda Casca Antigua, a block away from the cathedral on a quiet, mostly pedestrian alley. Good clean, quiet, rooms, and a fantastic location. It was the heart of Covid in 2021, so they weren't having the breakfast buffet that is now available and getting good...
