Hi I walked the Camino Frances east to west this year and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thinking of doing the reverse. If you get your passport stamped but in reverse can you still get your certificate? Cheers Dave
Hi, I've obtained my passport from The Confraternity of Saint James in readiness for my walk in March. Do I need to take it to the passport office in St Jean Pied de Port to get my first stamp for it to be valid for the certificate at the end. Or will the accommodation I stay at for the first...
I was intending to take an old single sheet to put over the mattresses but am also trying to save weight. Do most places supply a cover on the mattress or if not what is the condition of them?
