    LIVE from the Camino FRANCÉS: Flies, spiders, isolation & roommates: not what I expected!

    Anyone know why Spanish people put water bottles outside their front door?

    It’s to ward away the flies. We have them outside our doors and it works!!!!

    LIVE from the Camino FRANCÉS: Flies, spiders, isolation & roommates: not what I expected!

    Sometimes I think we read so much about the Camino that are expectations are too high, then when it doesn’t happen like we thought it would we come down to earth with a big bump! I expected to have this big Camino family when I walked the Frances last year, when in fact I spent many days walking...

    How busy will Camino Frances be in June, 2023?

    I walked in June 2022 and never once found it an issue to get a bed for the night, not even when I arrived at my destination at 5pm did I have a problem. Not saying that 2023 will be the same but personally I think your’ll be fine up until you reach Sarria and then you may need to think ahead a...

    Sleeping bag or liner in May?

    I walked the CF last May and I only ever used my liner. At one point I was tempted to ditch my sleeping bag but it was so lightweight I thought better of it. I found most Albergues supplied wool blankets for those slightly chillier nights. But I must add we were lucky to have walked during an...

    When do most pilgrims feel like quitting the Camino de Santiago?

    Haha! Just for the record I love my husband dearly, but my dog, who sadly died suddenly a few months after my return from the Camino💔 was my best friend 🐕‍🦺 (sorry, nothing to do with the original thread)

    When do most pilgrims feel like quitting the Camino de Santiago?

    There was a moment in Pamplona, my day 3, when I suddenly felt all alone and homesick (not for my husband but for my dog 🤫😉) I had no desire to walk the next morning, so didn’t rush to get up and on my way, I just sat in the cafe next door to my accommodation feeling pretty miserable, when two...

    Lost & Found Lost glasses in case between Torres del Rio and Viana

    I realize this is a long shot but if anyone sees a black and grey glasses case with two sets of glasses in it on the trail pick them up. I'm in Logrono tonight. Bueno Camino! Saturday 8th Oct…. Hi Housedog, I’ve just seen on the FB Camino page that two sets of glasses have been found today in...

    Vegetarian Restaurants Sarria to Santiago

    ‘Taste the Way’ in OPedruso is great! We had a nice meal there in July this year and bought a great t shirt as a reminder. Also in Santiago, ‘Cafe Clem’ is a great little place but only opens till 4pm.(see photos of our meal). It’s on happy cow so check it out and get the address, but we passed...

    Your Opinion on how I will start

    I loved spending an extra day in SJPdP. It’s such a pretty town and geared me up for my first day on the Camino. I only went as far as Auberg Borda on day 1 which I didn’t regret. I can highly recommend its food/location/showers/beds etc and especially the host Laurent who was very friendly and...

    Where to stay in Logroño?

    I stayed at The Winderful Hostel in May, It was in the centre of Logroño, it was clean, friendly and a great breakfast. Would definitely recommend.

    Concerned

    Hi, I’m due to start my first Camino from SJPdP leaving on the 19th May. I have booked SJPdP, Borda, Roncesvalles, Zubiri and Pamplona just to be on the safe side. Looking forward to the adventure. What date do you leave? Buen Camino

    Roncesvalles Reservation - with or without dinner and/or breakfast?

    Thanks for good advise 🙏

    Roncesvalles Reservation - with or without dinner and/or breakfast?

    I'm arriving in Roncesvalles on 16th May and debating whether to pre book/pay for dinner and a bed at the Albergue.. Do you think this is advisable or d'you think I'd be ok to just to turn up? .. Also any idea if I can pay by cash?

    Where to stay in St. Jean Pied de Port?

    I too have booked Gite Makila before I start my first Camino on May 15th
