    Is the Albergue in Roncesvalles a “must”?

    We loved Hotel Roncesvalles! And the dinner in their restaurant was divine!

    Warning: Jacotrans

    I used them too and booked way in advance. In the tool I had to pick the drop off in the drop down tool so if there was an error it was all me. I did good though and printed it and had it laminated so I could hang from suitcase wit a caribiner. It was 3 pages so I would make sure the correct...

    Planning 40 Days on the Camino Frances

    Maybe do both and take a bus tour to Muxia and Finistere at the end? Or skip some other day?

    If you had 45-49 days for the Camino Frances, how would you spend it?

    We spent our extra few days in Paris before and after but if I had to do it again, i would go through Madrid or Barcelona. We didn’t have time for Finistere. We had 45 days.

    I forget. Why are you avoiding American author and Spanish chef?

    LIVE from the Camino My first Camino: reflecting on my journey so far.

    We knew a pilgrim friend that was ahead of us on the camino. He got gored by a bull in Los Arcos! He was gored under his butt and then trampled by the bull breaking ankle and wrist in several places. This was about two months ago. He spent 3 days in the hospital and then traveled home taking up...

    Your Favourite Towns/Cities to Stay Additional Night/s

    We liked Leon and Pamplona for rest days. Didn’t need the one we had in Logrono.

    We stayed in that same hotel in Zubiri! Wonderful! Weren’t smart enough to go get food so we starved till dinner!

    New Pilgrim, looking for strategies to find private rooms.

    You could email Hotel Roncesvalles also. It was a wonderful hotel. If you can’t find place in apps try the internet search. I did that for a few places.

    Where to stay the night before Santiago....?

    We thought we were booked in O Pedroso but we were actually in O’Pino/Arca at Casa de O Acivro. It was great! We had washer/dryer near us and we’re by the pool. Lunch and dinner was great. We left about 6am and got into Santiago about 11. Should have gone straight to mass but got our credentials...

    LIVE from the Camino Ethics Question -- to walk or not to walk?

    You should walk. You’ll resent her deep down if you don’t.

    Rest Day between Leon and Sarria

    We just had that the other night! Wonderful!

    Differences in the walking experience - pre vs post Covid?

    We’re on the Frances now and there isn’t too much talk of covid. You see a few masks in the towns and in pharmacies but that’s about it. We’ve heard of a few pilgrims that tested positive and stayed in a private room for a few days before heading out.

    Walking in October on CF - reserving rooms already?

    I made a lot of my reservations a year in advance!

    Availability of taxis and buses along the Way--how possible is this to find if needed?

    I’m on the Frances now and a couple we talked to have taken a few taxis. One time they called and the driver wouldn’t go from one region to another. But they got help from the bar owner and he got someone to take them. I’m not sure there was anywhere to get picked up Borda to Roncesvalles.

    How busy is the Frances these days?

    I’m in the Frances now in Santo Domingo de La Calzada and it’s not that busy. Most people we’ve talked to have pre-booked but the ones that haven’t are finding beds.

    anyone going to be in carrion de los condes soon? asking for a favor.

    I’ll be there in 10 days. I could look for you if you haven’t found out by then.

    LIVE from the Camino Californians on the Camino!

    We walked from Pamplona to Puente La Reina today. We got a little lost trying to get out of Pamplona. The locals kept pointing to the right way! The walk up to the metal sculptures wasn’t as bad or steep as I thought it was going to be. Finally met Maggie in person (met her in this site). After...
