    Emilio Estevez interview about the Way re-release

    The first time I saw it I thought it was pretty good but nothing spectacular. Then I watched it a second time and was hooked. I've watched it a couple dozen times now, both before and after I walked the Camino and love everything about it. I purchased the movie on Amazon Prime and can watch...

    Is the Albergue in Roncesvalles a “must”?

    I thought it was neat to feel the energy and anticipation of all the pilgrims starting out on their journey.

    Massage in Astorga

    I stayed there in June and got a massage. I also stayed at HQ Spa in Leon and got a massage there. The massage at HQ Spa was less expensive and I thought it was better as well.

    Concerned

    I am on the Camino now and prefer hotels and hostals. I have been booking ahead and don’t see where it takes any more time than people hunting around for albergues that aren’t full once they arrive in town. A few days ago I was in Hornillos de Camino and all the albergues filled up and I saw a...

    Stuff like the boar is scary, but also exciting.

    I’m at Albergue Jakue in Puente de Reina today. They had beds for walk ins up until 4 pm.

    Pamplona - Burgos in less than 5 minutes

    I track myself on long hikes all the time (iPhone 13 Pro Max). And a 7-8 hour hike still leaves 50% battery. If I put the phone in airplane mode while tracking, there is still 70-80% left.

    Pamplona - Burgos in less than 5 minutes

    You can also record your track in the Relive app itself. No need to use another app.

    Peregrina bitten by snake near Lintzoain

    If she was bitten on the hand as the story says, then she was trying to interact with the snake in some way.

    Hill where a stone is left

    So, is there any particular stone you should bring? Ps. I never see a stone included in anybody’s packing list or backpack weight.

    Concerned

    I am starting in SJPP next week and would prefer not to book ahead but am willing to do so if necessary. What I have done is booked the first week and will see what things are like once I am enroute and will adjust accordingly.

    Skipping Pamplona?

    I'm going to do the Frances in May starting in SJPP. The second day I plan on walking from Roncevalles to Aquerreta and stay in the Hotel Akerreta. (Just because it is where part of The Way was filmed). To get to SJPP I will be flying to Pamplona and spending the night then taking a taxi the...

    Prefer not to carry a sleeping bag

    The weight is really not an issue for me. I don't like sleeping in a sleeping bag very much. I do it when hiking in the wilderness but I find them too confining as I roll around a lot when sleeping and don't like to sleep on my back. One of the ways lightweight sleeping bags keep the weight...

    Prefer not to carry a sleeping bag

    I am booked through Uterga right now and plan on seeing what the situation is once I start walking to see how necessary reservations are going to be.

    Prefer not to carry a sleeping bag

    I would like to travel as light as possible. The albergues that offer private rooms, are sheets and blankets included? I also want to be flexible and avoid reserving rooms in advance. I realize it’s just a guess at this point, but if I do albergue private rooms, pensiones, and hotels, how...

    Exploring Rio Arga: Canoeing and Kayaking from Pamplona to Puente La Reina

    Sounds like exactly what I'm looking for.

    Exploring Rio Arga: Canoeing and Kayaking from Pamplona to Puente La Reina

    I'm pretty sure I already know the answer, but you never know unless you ask. Is it possible to rent a canoe or kayak and paddle the Rio Arga from Pamplona to Puente La Reina? Would be a very interesting way to do that stage.

    Reservations cancelled at private albergues

    It seems to me that the need for reservations creates a vicious cycle. Not only on the Camino, but national parks, and other popular destinations. As more and more people make reservations, it becomes more necessary to make one yourself or else take a chance of not having a place to stay...
