    Christmas Camino

    Hola John and Robin, The Burgos Cathedral is well worth a visit. And they will give you a sello too. With the pilgrim passport entrance fee is also reduced. You could start the day with a visit to the cathedral, then continue the camino after, possibly making it a short walking day. Oh and...

    Christmas Camino

    Hey John and Robin Agree with Greg on Granon. It was one of the highlights of my walk too. Santo Domingo is a lovely place with excellent restaurantes. Can be loads of fun. But somehow Granon was special. The atmostphere around the communal dinning and the service after just wraps one up...

    SNORING!! I am the Champion!

    If you can get your hands on a pair of ear plugs they give out at F1 races, it be great. The plugs mould themselves to your ear. If they can block the roaring cars, they can block the snorers! I am an insomniac. On bad days (regardless of reasons; snoring, light in the eye, etc), I just...

    SNORING!! I am the Champion!

    So true Renshaw. Once I had a snorer on the bed above me. And a very annoyed snore hunter on my other side across a narrow aisle. Snore hunter make very loud clicking lizzard like sounds hoping to wake up the snorer. When that failed, he reached out and shook the bed frame really hard...

    massages

    I only know of the refuge run by the German Confraternity at La Faba, who also offer foot massages. And she (If I recall correctly, her name is Anita) is very good too.

    warm clothes for sept/oct

    Hi Timid My experience was very similar to Laurie's. I had walked Camino Frances in Oct (1 - 29). I had used my silk liner with a light summer sleeping bag, sufficient for most nights. Only in Leon was I cold in the night and the early morning. 5 degrees. I had found having a pair of...

    You may wish to check these threads Smart packing and unexpected backpack items : equipment-questions/topic8023.html What was your biggest mistake : el-camino-frances/topic7913.html Somewhat similar to your question. As for me, I wish I had a lighter sleeping bag. The one I had with me...

    Fear

    @Ben Re monthly payments of bills. Prior to leaving for my camino, I had set standing instructions via Internet banking (recurring bank transfers, and bill payments). This allows for undisrupted payments to cover the minimum payments, and for rental, phone, water and electricity bills...

    do people share 'HOTEL ROOMS"to reduce costs???

    When it was not possible to get a bed in an albergue, I had shared a room with two ladies I had befriended on the route. Price varies but certainly makes out cheaper than staying in a hotel/hostel on your own. As there were three of us, we would arrange for an extra bed in the room. That...

    LIVE from the Camino live from the Frances

    Hey Sue I believe you mean this place ? Yes, a most enterprising young man, and such a welcome break from the rain and the wind cold it was back. Afraid I do not have his name, but I do remember the wonderful mug of hot tea, and the preserved figs and the freshly baked cake. Thank you for...

    What Was Your Biggest Mistake

    Mistakes : Overpacking overpacking overpacking :oops: I believe this contributed towards my blisters and an injured hip I am still nursing months after the walk. I should have worn my boots which had much better support than the pair of trail running shoes I wore. Thin cotton socks as...

    ***** MAYBE SILLY QUESTIONS *****

    @Tim - if you have some time to spare, you can take a train from (1) Santiago to Hendaye. Then bus to Biarritz. (2) Santiago to any coastal town eg Santander or Bilbao. Overnight for some R&R. (I stopped in BIlbao as I had wanted to visit the Guggenheim) Then bus into Biarritz. I am...
