    Baggage Transfer

    I also prefer CaminoFacil. I have been using them for luggage transfers and for taxi service for the past eight years and there has never been even one mistake.

    Private room recommendations between Carrion de los Condes and Leon on the Meseta

    I have noticed that the hotels are already booked too. Keep trying on Bookings.com and Hotels. com on a day-by-day basis. The hotels don’t release all of the available rooms at once. Or try contacting the hotels directly. Plus there will be cancelations which will make rooms available too. Just...

    Dangerous dog before Triacastela

    I carry a small stun gun for scaring off bad dogs before they can get close enough to bite! You should probably also report this to the police.

    Availability of Hotels?

    Does anyone know the general status of hotel accommodations along the Camino Frances? Have many gone out of business? If open, are they operating at full capacity? I am assuming that prices have increased. Is booking through Hotels .com or Bookings. Com reliable? Any input is much...

    Proper Bag Transfer Etiquette

    Why not just pay a big tip to the hotel for accepting delivery of your bag?

    Walk and knit - Camino Frances

    Did you ever fall down because you were not looking where your feet were going? That would be my problem.

    Booking rooms in advance

    I always booked hotel rooms in advance because the accommodations do fill up fast during the active hiking months. It takes the uncertainty out of the adventure but at my advanced age I did not want to have to walk to the next village or to the next hoping to find a bed. I book my flight and...

    Stress with finding accommodation

    I plan ahead using Booking.com so that I know where I’ll be staying every night. If I get tired before reaching my destination, I catch a cab. No muss. No fuss.

    An hour to kill in Bayonne

    It’s a small station with a waiting room so you won’t be cold. Just relax and read your book!

    Luggage transport

    Ditto for CaminoFacil. I have used them on my previous three Camino hikes and there has never been even one little glitch with their service. Highly recommended.

    Making Reservations On-Line?

    I use hotels.com and booking.com. They are extremely convenient.

    OK. Checking out of here

    Burgos is a great town. I just left there a few days ago. See the digs at Atapuerca, if you have time.

    Pre Trip Anxiety

    Exactly my sentiments.

    Just Like They Did in "The Way"!

    The Parador in Santo Domingo de la Calzada is very nice.

    Pre Trip Anxiety

    The correct url is caminofacil.NET (not .com). My mistake. My apologies. The business is alive and well.

    Pre Trip Anxiety

    I am leaving on 15 April for my 4th time on El Camino Frances. Since I am 73 years old, I cut myself some slack and always use baggage transport. Try CaminoFacil.com. They are extremely reliable and convenient. You can set your transport requirements and pay for them online. No fuss. No muss.

    Camino Phrases and Titles

    Hilarious! Thanks for the laugh.

    Luggage transfer on Camino Frances

    I like to have everything arranged ahead of time and be prepaid so that I don’t have to carry extra cash. I have used CaminoFacil the last two on El Camino Frances. I entered all of my hotels and dates into their online form, paid securely online, and downloaded and printed luggage tags for each...

    weather change

    It snowed briefly in Burgos today and the temps are in the mid-30s F. No rain yet. As the Spanish people say "It seldom rains in Castilla y Leon and then always at the wrong time ". Of course that's not Navarre. I suggest that you download a good weather app into your smart phone and ask it...

    Is there a company that would drive my van from spot to spot for me?

    Try contacting CaminoFacil. They transport luggage so they might consider expanding their enterprise if you ask. Doesn't hurt to ask.
