    Bus to La Virgen Del Camino

    I think the bus might start/end at Plaza St. Domingo. I investigated taking the bus but decided to walk. I should have taken the bus since the walk is not very pleasant after crossing the river at San Marcos.

    Where in Camino Frances (800km) Route Do I need to Spend more Time exploring the Cities/Towns?

    I highly recommend reading Beebe Bahrami's Camino de Santiago. It's full of the history and sites along the way (along with recommendations for lodging, food and events). Not just the larger towns but the small ones. I carried a copy with me and saw others who also had the book and were...

    Astorga

    The hot chocolate at Chocolateria La Cepedana (across the street from the Roman villa ruins). It has the consistency of a pudding. Great for dipping cookies.

    Getting Great Mileage But Missing the Jewels

    FYI: In Brierley's 2022 edition, Pamplona is at the end of the 3rd stage. Totally agree that Brierley's book is a "guide". It's actually in the title: "A Pilgrim's Guide to the Camino de Santiago". Last fall, I attend a zoom call organized by the American Pilgrims with John. What...
