    Sleeping bag or just liner (starting Frances at SJPdP on April 25th)

    I walked April and May two separate years and I would have been way too cold in just liner.

    Mansilla de la Mulas to León: why bother?

    Someone can correct me if I am wrong but isn’t the “polka dot town” in this stretch? Villamoros de Mansilla. A very curious walk!

    LIVE from the Camino Walking the Meseta now. Advice welcome

    Beautiful experience. I stayed at the beautiful monastery in the west end of Carrion, one of my delightful stays.

    RETHINK walking the Frances

    I would seriously consider starting in Pamplona. There are a lot more options after Pamplona if you are willing to go off Brierly stages and look at all options, casa rural, pensions etc.

    RETHINK walking the Frances

    Stay in smaller towns not in the Brierly stages.

    Meals in Roncesvalles, worth it?

    Good to know. I missed anything open.

    Meals in Roncesvalles, worth it?

    Maybe there are other places open for breakfast can’t remember, but for me, I wish I’d had more and had snacks with me as there was little on the trail that day.

    Meals in Roncesvalles, worth it?

    I’d take breakfast for sure because there is little food to Zuburi. I remember being so hungry and needing food. There are other restaurants for dinner in Roncesvalles.

    Conditions in Roncesvalles

    I agree, I’d start in Roncesvalles or Pamplona at this time of year.

    Getting Great Mileage But Missing the Jewels

    I love this thread. And will think about it before I respond.

    Warm clothing for a late April departure?

    I walked the Frances starting in early April-May. I was glad for my long sleeve merino wool, my merino wool thin icebreaker vest and my Packable down jacket. I wore each one everyday, especially in the morning and in the evenings.

    Can anyone tell me where this crucifix is?

    Bob, I can’t agree more. Most people on the post are extremely gracious and helpful. Thank you everybody for letting me know about this beautiful crucifix.

    Last 100km places with pools?

    Next town beyond Sarria, I believe it’s called Villel

    Backpacks only policy in Albergues: A common restriction?

    This sounds like a plausible solution.

    Tips for Tackling O Cebreiro Hill During Your Camino Walk

    This sounds like wisdom.

    When do most pilgrims feel like quitting the Camino de Santiago?

    Every person is different, body and soul. I did have moments and days that I felt like quitting. Truthfully though, I was surprised that sometimes these feelings came on the easiest of days,( as well has the difficult ones). It didn’t necessarily correspond to the terrain. I find no trophy in...

    Backpacks only policy in Albergues: A common restriction?

    If it is Albergue San Miguel, they are the nicest people. Just email them.

    Tips for Tackling O Cebreiro Hill During Your Camino Walk

    Thank you for this advice.

    My ideal Camino... is it possible?

    I didn’t see anything like this except one place that was being developed for this very thing. It was like a giant fairy garden. The young man had a library setup, chairs, hammocks and a food stand. I can’t remember where it was except it was near Pamplona. Does anyone know?
  20. Wanderingfriend

    Is the Albergue in Roncesvalles a “must”?

    I would agree. The pilgrim blessing was a beautiful start for me.
