    Extra day if you're not a city person

    My wife and I had only been walking 2 hours when we came across Estella. A fellow pilgrim told us it had a great chocolate shop. So that was it - we went into the village and decided to book a room for the night and have the rest of the day off. A market was in full swing in the village square...

    Advice: should we attempt SJPP to Roncesvalles?

Also good to hear the alternative accommodation to the alberques is excellent. Another question - did you use a...

    Konnie, go for it!! My wife and I did the Frances then through to Finnisterre anti-clockwise last year (aged 69 and 68). Loved it. Met two gentlemen both aged 82 doing the Frances and they were having a ball. Don't wait!!....don't have regrets!

    Best Blister Prevention and Care

    Michelle, I can also recommend ArmaSkin socks https://www.armaskin.com/. My wife and I recently completed Camino Francis then on to Finisterre, a total trek of 915 kms. Not one blister!!

She left two young children. Our pilgrimage is one of reflection and thanksgiving so we will do the Volcaros route over the...
