    Best place to stay: Logroño or Naverette?

    Of the two, I’d go for Logroño, for its tapas places, if nothing else. Navarrete is a nice village and I stayed there for one night, but it’s quite small.

    One Day or Two? Walking the Camino from St Jean to Roncesvalles at 72

    I did this stage over two days. I'm 59 years old and not a regular walker, so the first stage to Orisson was tough and the rest at Orisson overnight was appreciated. Also, I was able to enjoy the relatively easier stage from Orisson to Roncesvalles the next day even more, especially as you walk...

    Extra crowded August 2022?

    I emailed the albergues or checked the website. In the case of the website, this could be down to bookings not being open yet.

    Extra crowded August 2022?

    I’m planning to finish my Camino by walking from Ponferrada to Santiago in the first half of July 2022, and I have discovered that a couple of albergues are already full.

    Carrión de los Condes - Albergue capacity

    I’ll be arriving in Carrión de los Condes on 1 Sept and I was wondering what the situation is like regarding capacity at the Albergue Parish de Santa Maria and Albergue Espiritu Santo albergues. Are they usually full up these days? If so, what time should I aim to get there?

    If you had an extra day in Bayonne, St. Jean, and Pamplona...

    I caught the train from Bayonne to St Jean last August, so I was only there for a short time. It looked like a nice place though. While St Jean is a charming village, not sure if I’d spend two nights there. However, I did stop at Pamplona for a rest day and that was worth doing. Not only does it...

    A little quiz

    My first six answers were: Sarria (No 1) followed in no particular order by: St Jean Pied de Port Logroño Burgos Leon Pamplona (though having seen other answers, perhaps the last one should have been replaced by Roncesvalles)

    Meseta or Leon/Sarria - which one first?

    Thank you for all of your suggestions. I was always intending to return to Santiago so, rather than focusing on the Burgos to Sarria section, I have decided to break the stretch from Burgos to Santiago into two sections as follows: Burgos to Ponferrada and Ponferrada to Santiago

    Meseta or Leon/Sarria - which one first?

    Thanks for your replies. I'll definitely bear them in mind.

    Meseta or Leon/Sarria - which one first?

    I've completed 400km of the Camino Frances over the past 15 months and need to walk the stretches from Burgos to Sarria (I walked from Sarria to Santiago in June 2019) to complete my Camino. Ideally, I would walk the Burgos to Leon 8-day stage first and then walk from Leon to Santiago. However...

    Route stops (rescheduling and extending my Camino)

    Sorry, I got mixed up on my stages. The stage from Nájera to Santo Domingo (I actually continued to Granon) was tough. Granon to Belorado was fine, though the stretch from Belorado to San Juan De Ortega was quite a climb (not as daunting as expected). Hope that’s cleared up now. To be honest...

    Route stops (rescheduling and extending my Camino)

    Belorado is a really nice town (Cuatro Cantones albergue is excellent, with really nice swimming pool), but the walk from there to Santo Domingo is pretty tough going, steady inclines that are unrelenting and not a little soul destroying. If you want to end this part of your Camino on a positive...

    Route stops (rescheduling and extending my Camino)

    I'm setting out on the latest stage of my Camino (Saint Jean Pied De Port to Logroño) on 8 Aug and I'm leaving at 7:30 a.m. to get a flight from Stansted to Biarritz, arriving in SJPDP at about 7:30 p.m. I had a quick look on Google and noticed that the minimum journey time by public transport...

    Camino August 2020

    Hello. I'm walking the St Jean Pied De Port to Logroño stage from 9 August (flying from Stansted to Biarritz on 8 August), so hoping that all will be well. However, I'll only be staying at hostals and hotels (apart from Refuge Orisson), so I don't know the situation regarding albergues. Steve

    Free Day Options

    I walked this route in June 2019 and spent six days on the road, with no rest days.

I...

    Camino August 2020

    I imagine you will have heard about the 'Air Bridges' that the British Government is introducing next week, so entry to France should not be a problem. However, the French Government is currently requesting visitors to fill in an attestation form (you can access this through the Gov.UK website)...

    Camino August 2020

    Hello. I'm walking from SJPP to Logroño from 9-17 Aug (with rest day in Pamplona). I'm flying into Biarritz on Sat 8 Aug and, in light of the current Covid-19 situation, mostly staying in hotels (not so cheap, but it doesn't take too much to stop me from sleeping in a dormitory), though I have...

    Your one picture that captures how you feel about being on the Camino!

    Absolutely! I wouldn’t dream of picking anything from the vine, though I did see a Brazilian woman do that, which I thought was not very acceptable.

    Your one picture that captures how you feel about being on the Camino!

    If you'll excuse the language, this photo sums up the thoughts of all pilgrims at least once on the Camino! On the other hand, walking through vineyards and finding a bunch of grapes on the ground is brilliant...

    Walking from Sarria

    Hello I completed the stage from Sarria to Santiago last June. It was the first stage of my Camino, as I am planning on completing the entire distance in instalments. My training was fairly limited and definitely helped me to break in the shoes I had bought a few months before. I had recently...
