    Las Huelgas

    Hi Lucyk, Thanks for your reply. From all I can ascertain the codex is still housed on site. I tried contacting them at the link you posted last year but never received a reply. It is the national site, not the local Las Huelgas one. I can't seem to find any contact info for the monastery. I...

    Las Huelgas

    Thanks David. I am a music history professor and have done this for libraries in the US. I’m wondering if there is a way to find out whom to contact at the monastery before we arrive to expedite the arrangements. Any ideas? Thanks again, Steven

    Las Huelgas

    Can anyone point me in the right direction for getting information about visiting the Las Huelgas Monastery outside of Burgos? When we were there last year there was a huge festival, which was fun, but I'd really like to be able to go inside and, if possible, view a music manuscript (Las Huelgas...

    Exactly :)

    good hotel to stay in St. Jean

    My wife and I stayed at Maison Donamaria and loved it. A short walk from the town center. Quiet and with the nicest, sweetest owner.

    Private rooms in albergues?

    Thank you all!

    Private rooms in albergues?

    Thanks. We walked the same as you last May. This time we are just going from Burgos to Leon (next October). Is there a place in Burgos that might have that list? Or is there a digital version?

    Private rooms in albergues?

    Greetings, My wife and I prefer to stay in private rooms so in the past have mostly stayed in hotels, pensions, casa rurales, etc. But I like the feeling and camaraderie of albergues. Is there a guide, website or app (like booking.com) that would allow for a search of albergues with private...

    Bag Transfer Service

    We used Jacotrans last May-June and they were very reliable for every kind of place we stayed.

    Luggage Tranfers

    We were told by Jaco that they always check the places they drop off the next morning. But also everyplace we stayed had envelopes and someone to help or call if necessary.

    Meseta in October?

    Greetings! My wife and I walked the CF from SJPdP to Finesterre last summer except we rented bikes from Burgos to Leon. Now we want to go back and walk that part. What's the weather like in October on the Meseta? Alternatively, how hot might it get in August? We're thinking of walking the Norte...

    Anyone need a ride on 24 May?

    See you Thursday!

    Anyone need a ride on 24 May?

    We just reserved Express Bourricot on 24 May at 14h00 from Biarritz Airport to SJPdP. At this point lots of room. Any takers?

    Bayonne to SJPdP on train strike days?

    We have the same starting itinerary! Staying overnight in Biarritz, then travel to SJPdP on the 24th. Thinking same thing...either bus or ride share - unless by some chance the train runs? Do you have a time in mind yet?

    Invierno or Frances?

    I know this has been discussed a lot and after reading posts and speaking with people who have done it we are leaning in the direction of Invierno. It sounds wonderful and perhaps quite. Of course, we won't decide when we get close to Ponferrada. My question is what will we miss on the Frances...

    Weekend crowds?

    Thanks for the advice. We will indeed book in advance. I should have been clearer with my question. I was just wondering, in an attempt to "avoid the crowds", if I should consider Thursday instead of Friday in Roncesvalles or if I am overthinking the issue.
  17. Steven Light

    Weekend crowds?

    Our travel plans at the moment have us starting out from SJPdP on a Friday in May and walking to Roncesvalles. I've heard that it can get pretty crowded on/near weekends. How much of a madhouse will Rocesvalles be? Should we consider starting a day earlier? Thanks.

    Bilbao?

    What's Bilbao like? Is it worth a side trip from the CF? I've heard great things about the museum... Thanks.
  19. Steven Light

    Biarritz or Bayonne?

    We are planning to spend our first night after flying into Paris in either Biarritz or Bayonne before heading on to SJPdP. Opinions as to which? Will be about May 23. Thanks!
