    Where is the most reliable accommodation information?

    You really have to contact the lodging directly. No list will be perfect. It’s just the way it is in Spain. Part of the charm.

    Where is the most reliable accommodation information?

    Between about mid October and about the end of March the only way to know for sure what’s open is to contact them directly. What’s app works well for this.

    Is a sleeping bag or a liner enough for the Camino in April?

    The Sea to Summit Traveler bag comes in a 50 degree version, so lighter and cheaper than the 30 degree model, but always worked well for me in March. A few times I slept with my down jacket too.

    SJPDP-SDC in 32 days-is this realistic?

    Yes, this is important, I think. In the beginning of your Camino, consider walking shorter distances than the usual guidebook distances of roughly 12-15 miles. Give your body a chance to acclimate and discover what is comfortable for you. If all goes well, as your Camino progresses you will get...

    Bed bugs in Samos Convento do tras!

    Same thing happened to us in March 2023. Bed bugs in all the rooms. Changed rooms then hospitalera booked 2 pilgrims in the room we vacated. It’s an old building so maybe it’s hard to control the bugs. But wondering if they are doing anything about it.

    Mansilla de la Mulas to León: why bother?

    Wow! Two supportive and helpful posts in a row. With empathy. Non judgmental. Lacking in pedantry. Thank you!

    Mansilla de la Mulas to León: why bother?

    The view that I enjoyed was available in March 2018 and July 2021. I don’t know anything about the roadworks.

    Mansilla de la Mulas to León: why bother?

    I don’t think it is such a bad stage. I will offer a reason to walk it. As you approach Leon, at about 3 miles from the center, you will be at a higher elevation. You will look down on the Catedral, standing tall, and see the snow capped mountains in the background. The first time I saw this I...

    My First Camino

    I am facing the exact same question and time frame for an October 2022 camino with my brother. It will be his first camino. He is indicating that the time he could take off will leave us with about 17 walking days. The planning is up to me. I am leaning toward starting in Burgos because I think...

    Husband wants to come with me!

    Recommend Salceda. There is a very nice albergue with private rooms and a good restaurant. It’s a little distance, about 500 km off the Camino. Albergue-Hotel Rural Salceda

    Husband wants to come with me!

    There may be some challenges, crying and complaining, but in the end, I can almost guarantee that you are giving your children a priceless gift that will powerfully influence their lives. This is a good age to do this with them. Buen Camino.

    Walking Camino Frances as a couple

    So much great advice! I am going to weigh in and say that if you have been planning this, your first Camino, for 3 years and you have a particular quest that you are on it is okay to tell your partner that you want to do this one alone. Do the next one with them. I have gone on four Caminos and...

    Advice: should we attempt SJPP to Roncesvalles?

    After I walked the Napoleon route I wondered how many people hurt themselves on this challenging first day and we never hear about it. As many on this forum have attested, you can do it in one day. And if you try to go to Roncesvalles in one day don’t be discouraged by the first 8 km or so. That...
