    Alsa website problem

    UPDATE: I paid via PayPal and it was perfect. I used the same card I tried on the website, but via PayPal it went through smoothly and now I have a ticket to Pamplona and after that to St. Jean Pied de Port, when I will begin my adventure.

    To book or not to book

    book ahead - have your adventures in other ways. Not having a bed is not an adventure I want to experience.

    To book or not to book

    It seems good to book in advance, there is no way to be sure of a bed with the popularity of the Camino many Pilgrims are arriving everyday. Knowing you have a bed (if you're certain of your dates) would mean one less thing to worry about.

    Alsa website problem

    I have tried to purchase a ticket online for April 20 - is this necessary? Could I buy a ticket on the day? The Alsa website hasn't been working for the passed week, I tried regularly. Could I buy a ticket on the day? Will there definitely be space on the bus or is it better to buy ahead?

    International mail costs

    Dude, how heavy was the thing you sent and how much did it cost you? What do you consider "an arm and a leg"?

    Hi guys, I was wondering how much it would cost per 100g if I were to mail something to myself from the Camino to my home in Dubai?

    How to stay over 2 nights - passport stamps needed daily?

    Where does the compostella start? which city? 100km that's only about 3 or 4 days hiking, so I should be fine by then, right? PS thanks a lot for your advice.

    How to stay over 2 nights - passport stamps needed daily?

    Hi all, I am planing on spending 2 nights in some of the bigger cities. I plan to spend one evening in a hostel and then one evening in a single room.

    Hi all, I am planning to hike the camino this year! I would like to know if there are bookstores with an English section in Pamplona, Lagrono, Burgos, Leon and finally Santiago - I know that these are big cities, but I have never travelled to Spain and after a long day of hiking I'd like to be...

    Cost excluding food - is 8-15 euros correct?

    Thanks to all the responses I've gotten so far - I'll adjust my budget. I have a few more months to save up.

    Cost excluding food - is 8-15 euros correct?

    I'm purchasing all the medication and first-aid kit stuff before hand, so I don't think this will influence my day-to-day budget, unless something unexpected pops up.

    Cost excluding food - is 8-15 euros correct?

    Yes, accommodation and other daily stuff.

    Cost excluding food - is 8-15 euros correct?

    I'll be purchasing a "Scrubba" - to clean my clothes, so after this and laundry liquid I don't see laundry as a regular expense... I might splurge on an actual machine once during the trip, but the scrubba will be my go to

    Cost excluding food - is 8-15 euros correct?

    From all my reading I have found that excluding the food I should bargain on spending 8-15 euros on hostels and daily necessities. Is this correct?
