    The Elvis Bar in Reliegos

    Yes my wife and I loved the place! It is a must see place for a cool one on the way to Leon. I hope to get back there someday.

    The camino is boring landscapes, paved roads, traffic…

    Every Camino or hike has it own different personality and feel. The Camino takes one out of one’s comfort zone. You have to want to step out of your box. If not keep doing the same thing within your own world.

    Disparaging "The Way"

    I can only say thanks to the Emilio Estevez and Martin Sheen for the film that first educated me about the the Camino! Despite what some might say of its accuracy, it motivated my wife and I to do our first Frances from St. Jean In 2016. We just completed our fourth Camino, the Camino del Norte...

    Rioja Alta Golf Club, Ciruena

    We walked by it in 2016 and wish we hadn’t because we didn’t find any where else to eat in the ghost town that followed. In 2017 we learned from our previous experience and had lunch in a nice friendly atmosphere. Many other pilgrims were enjoying lunch there.

    Bar Elvis is closed

    In 2016 we had a break just before the Bar Elvis. We wished we had stopped there but continued on. In 2017 we watched “The Way” (again) before our second Camino and noticed a quick flash of the bar in the movie. We definitely stopped in this time on our way to Mulas. The owner was great...

    Staying in SDC extra night or Madrid 2 nights

    Splurge if possible on a nice place in Santiago, a place where you can avoid the street noise to get some sleep. Santiago is beautiful and the old city is a great place to relax and slow down after many days on the Camino. Madrid is a great but a very large city and the hustle bustle of Madrid...

    The Meseta; Burgos to Leon

    I walked the total Camino in Sept 2016. The Meseta was such a favorite part of the journey we walked again in 2017 from Pamplona to Leon, enjoying the Meseta a second time. I loved each small village we walked into. Missing them, to me is missing a big part of the experience of the Camino Frances.

    seeking advice of where to begin

    Hi TMcA, I have done the full Camino Frances 2016 and Pamplona to Leon 2017. This fall we will be on the Caminho from Porto. We are thinking of the Le Puy route in 2019. Can you give me some kind of insight and compare the difficulty between the Camino Frances vs. the Le Puy route to SJPdP...

    Did anyone regret walking the Camino?

    Wow, very good reading in this thread! Like many others I wish I had learned about the Camino in a younger day. I have spent my last two birthdays on the Camino. My 64th on the SJPP to Santiago, September 2016, and my 65th, Pamplona to Leon (we liked the Meseta so much we went back). This year...

    how long did you stay in SJPP?

    SJPP is a beautiful place, we were glad we spent 2 nights. We explored the area and town and we were more than ready to hit the Camino after our stay. If you have time an extra night is worth it.

    LIVE from the Camino Trash

    I did the whole Camino Frances last year and just finished a leg from Pamplona to Leon and I must say tissue along the stretch I just finished Wednesday is littered with tissue more than last. Come on Pilgrims the Camino does not deserve a line of tissue from town to town! Most restroom are...
