    Doing the Logrono Tapas Crawl by Oneself

    Yes, Logrono has the most beautiful tapas, and better yet, they even heat up some of them to make it taste so much better!! Three of us al stayed in the albergue by the cathedral and we started at 6:30 pm and we were back at the albergue before 10 pm!! Beautiful!!

    If you have/are walking this summer... Would you do it again, knowing the restrictions/challenges?

    Hi Tom, I don't mean to derail this thread, wife and I plan to walk the Olvidado in late September this year. I wonder if you found there is enough pension, cafe, etc. open in the Olvidado?? Did you meet a few pilgrims too? We are in our late 60's and meeting a few pilgrims would make us...

    Hostel Bayonne

    I had also stayed there in September for two days this year. Veronique can also show you if you like how to walk to Biarritz, or even to Irun or SJPdP. Her location is right in old town and the cathedral. Enjoy!

    Starting the Camino in Nice

    Couple months ago we took blablacar from Moissac to Toulouse, then we found out there are almost hourly or every couple hours trains to Toulouse at less than 10 euros. very convenient. We then took the train to Lourdes, a very enjoyable stay there in the pilgrim gite!

    Show Up; Get Bed?

    I guess I am too late to ask where exactly you will be arriving and then to offer to book something for you -- so that you will have a bed and yet not deviating from your camino tradition of not booking! I tend to offer help (actions if allowed to do so) that could produce results! I think...

    Hidden treasure lies beneath the hills of Galicia

    Really appreciate the info for a gem! We stayed at the big albergue couple years ago and nothing to write home about, even though the hospitalera was very friendly! Still grateful for a place to stay, but definitely will look for the Polish albergue! Gracias!

    Albergue recommendations Bilbao

    I stayed two nights at the Youth Hostel Akelarre in Bilbao last October. Well run, clean and convenient, and is across the river/bridge from the bus terminal. about 20 minutes walk to the old town. I paid 18 euros a night, breakfast included and you don't need to be a pilgrim but it is right...

    New albergue Casa Susi,Trabadelo

    Hi Susi, four of us Canadians had the good fortune of staying in your Case Susi about three weeks ago. It is such a nice facility with excellent donativo supper! I hope more albergues will have single beds like yours so old peregrinos like me don't have to worry about falling down from top...

    Camino Salvador and Primitivo Detour

    I walked the San Salvador and Primitivo in May 2014, I had a day or two with very light drizzles which made San Salvador more beautiful in the mist! Path in San Salvador are well marked but should be aware of direction change by cattles -- at one point the iron arrow that was planted on the...

    LIVE from the Camino Help!!

    Hi Joodle, I had sciatic nerve in my right leg a few years ago and I could feel the electricity shooting up and down my whole leg and causing much pain. You need to see a doctor pronto because this problem may cause atrophy in the leg. I went to see an acupuncturist to relax the muscles -- and...

    Walking in Oct 2013.

    I am arriving Pamplona on the 7th and plan to start in SJPP on the 8th. I am just happy to see so many pilgrims walking in October too. I wonder if anyone know if I could buy a decent poncho in Pamplona or SJPP? All i have now is a rain proof jacket and no pant. Buen Camino! Simon Shum
