    Serious Doubts 3 Weeks Before Camino

    We are planning to leave SJPP on June 18 and take 2 days over the Pyrenees. There will be 10 of us because one in our group will be in a 'trekking chair' due to cerebral palsy. The rest of us (several 25-30 year olds) will be rotating pushing/pulling this chair. We are all in decent shape...

    permethrin sprayed fitted sheet

    We bought permethrin treated sheets for our 2013 Camino. No bedbug bites, but our friends without sheets didn't get bites either, so who knows. I'm just wondering if those same sheets will still be "effective" for our 2015 Camino. They have probably been washed less than 6 times as we...

    RENFE Schedule Not Posted for June 15th

    Thanks Jan_D for checking. We are really hoping to get some of the discounted seats on the RENFE site...more like 50Euros (or, even less). I guess I will just keep checking their site everyday. Now, it has become part of my daily 'to-do' list. :)

    RENFE Schedule Not Posted for June 15th

    I was under the impression that the RENFE train schedules are posted 62 days in advance. We are trying to make train reservations from Madrid to Barcelona for June 15th (52 days away) and the train schedules are not out yet. Does anyone have an intel on this? Thanks!!! Susan

    Camino + Tattooing

    My guess is that it isn't your 'personal preferences' that are insulting. It's the way you said it that was insulting (I also found it insulting as an objective 3rd party to this conversation). Whether I want a tattoo like this or not, I do see incredible similarities in Jes's method and in...

    LIVE from the Camino Update 6 April 2015

    Sounds awesome! I would be interested to know the name of the donativo place you stayed in Santa Domingo.

    Chairs and Bunks

    We walked the Camino in Summer of 2013 and never really encountered rudeness; actually, quite the contrary. We saw many acts of generosity, thoughtfulness, and consideration of others. I hope our experience was the 'norm', not the exception. Though I do believe, and I'm trying to learn, that...

    Things I wish I'd known before my first Camino...

    My list is similar to yours, but I would add: - Take more moleskin. Moleskin worked best for me in helping to PREVENT blisters and I didn't see anything like it in Spain. I didn't like compeed because it got messy and stuck to my socks and was almost impossible to get out of my socks...

    Camino 2.0 (So Excited, We Can Hardly Wait!)

    We did it!!! We just purchased our tickets today!!! We walked the Camino Frances in June/July 2013 and we haven't been the same since, so we are going again. We were not able to go all the way to Muxia/Finisterre last time so we are excited that we will be able to this time. Also, we are...

    Having problems buying train ticket

    We are likely going to be following the same route in June (Barcelona to Pamplona to SJPP). May I ask where you are planning to stay in Barcelona? Hope the train situation works out well for you. Buen Camino!

    Reservations at Orisson in June

    Hi Joe from Texas: Orrison is the ONLY accommodation. If you are going to go over the Pyrenees, I would highly recommend that you reserve a place there. The atmosphere is warm and hospitable and a cozy way to get your camino started. Plus, it's a hard walk from SJPP (even though it's not...

    What is the general age of walkers on the Camino?

    Our kids are also starting the Camino in the beginning of July. Their ages are 22, 20, and 15. They are very excited about the walk itself but also all the people from Spain and around the world that they will meet.

    ATMs

    We start our Camino from SJPP in mid-June. We just recently set up a checking account with Charles Schwab. We will get a visa debit card from this account. The benefits: - NO foreign exchange fees when we use the card - NO ATM fees (Schwab reimburses the account monthly for any fees that...

    Camino in June

    We are scheduled to leave from SJPP on June 18. It's all we can think about! It's wet and cold here in North Carolina today, but I'm going out on a long walk in a few minutes. I'm trying to get into the best shape possible. Looking forward to meeting many of you "June 2013" pilgrims. Buen...

    Some thoughts from first 10 days of my Camino

    Bill - we're chomping at the bit to get on with our Camino which we plan to start in mid-June. You'll be long finished by then, but my Aussie husband has gotten a real kick out of your blog...laughing out loud at your Aussie lingo (e.g., ding dong blarney)...and we love your authenticity. Look...
