    Current albergue and pilgrim's meal costs

    I'm thinking of repeating the French route next April/May next year. The last time I walked the French way was 2016. Would like to know the current cost of a albergue and pilgrim's meal.

    What I've Learned So Far

    I was there in April. We were the first group over the Napoleon Route. We had great weather for days. Pilgrims 1 day behind us didn't have it so good. You have a great walk into, through, and out of Pamplona then a very steep climb up to the wind farm. Then a horrid 2 kilometers of a steep...

    BOOTS

    I don't think my boots are going to get me to Santiago. The French way is a boot killer. I'm currently in Rabanal del Camino. Anyone know where one can get good boots down the way. Buen Camino Happy Trails

    We can't get hold of the Orrison

    There is the old route that required climbing gear and experience. There is a brand new route build above the old one that you just walk. Hard hats are still required. Be sure you are looking at the new route.

    We can't get hold of the Orrison

    Once you see the pictures you will want to add the Caminto del Rey to your bucket list. Oh and there is a cool Maritime Museum just down the street from the Prado that is worth a look.

    We can't get hold of the Orrison

    Please tell me you're going to visit the Prado. We get into Madrid at 0900 and catch our train to Pamplona at 1505. May I suggest Pension Corazon Puro for accommodations near Pamplona. For $35 they will pick you up at the train station, put you up for the night, feed you dinner and...

    We can't get hold of the Orrison

    Some of us Colonials not only live across the pond but live close to the other pond. Flying in to Madrid or Paris from the other pond is a very long flight indeed and you still have a long train ride and maybe a bus ride. A few days of adjustment are really needed. Starting the camino with a...

    Speak English Well as a courtesy to others

    Howdy how ya all do in. A few things. 1. Us Northern Yankees had a hard time understanding what was being said too. 2. Too funny. 3. Too true. 4. Sounds like a accent to us colonials. Happy Trails

    Twanging trekking poles

    You could return the poles and replace them with Ridge poles. Like you I didn't care for the anti-shock poles. Love my black diamonds. Buen Camino

    I'm new, please forgive me...

    First, decide which camino you want to walk. The French route is the most popular followed by the Portuguese. Next search air fares using Madrid or Paris, or Lisbon, if walking the Portuguese, to get the best deal. I'very had good luck with Google flight. Once you book your plane ticket...
