    Earliest Pyrenees opening

    My wife and I want to leave SJPDP in mid to late April. Will the Pyrenees pass be open? How cold does it average in the Pyrenees in April? Or anything else we might need to consider. Thank you!

    October travel and the Pyrenees

    Hello everyone! I'm looking for information on doing the CF in October. Does anyone have any experience with this, e.g. albergues being open, temperature at night, albergues still supplying blankets, passes open from SJPDP. Any help or info will be appreciated. Thank you. Warmly, Barry

    Cash vs Credit or Debit

    Thanks! That's great advice and just the disaster I was thinking could possibly happen.

    Cash vs Credit or Debit

    I was wondering if I should exchange some US$ for Euros before I leave the US. I know I can get cash from ATM’s, but would I be wise to start off with, say, a couple of hundred Euros in cash, like for when I first arrive for busses, taxis, etc. Do taxis take credit cards, BTW?

    Albergues operating?

    Hello! My wife and I live in Vermont, USA. We are wondering at what capacity are the albergues on the CF operating? Would it be better to wait? How congested has it been? We did it 2 years ago & would like to do it again. In other words, if we come will find a place to sleep every night...

    Bus Station

    Thank you all for your suggestions. I did find a room, but sadly (or not) 2,158 pilgrims (most, I presume from Sarria, school groups & tours) made it impossible for me to get my Compostela. I don’t want to minimize their Camino, but it is frustrating to have walked 480 miles only to be told...

    Bus Station

    Hello! I am three days away from SDC. It has been an absolute zoo since Sarria! I let all the students & groups pass & started stopping between stages & it got quiet again. My question is: if I get to SDC & there is no place to stay, do you think me & my wife could sleep at the Estación de...

    I am trying to find J fro Scotland who my wife Cheryl and I (Barry) met in mid September after starting I SJPDP. Long shot, but he’s 65, worked in submarines & is very personable. As I said, a long shot

    Médical care in Najera

    Thanks everyone! My wife did well today. She is probably not going to rest, but that is her Camino. Thanks for the great info about clinics, paying before you leave & using the help of hospitalero/as. I will allo get her some poles first chance I get. Thanks so much!

    Médical care in Najera

    Thanks so much! My wife refuses to rest, so we will walk to Nájera (leaving now, 7:10 AM). I only have WiFi, so will probably have to wait until we get to Najera to get any further responses. At the rate she was able to walk yesterday, that will probably be 12 hours, so clinic will probably...

    Médical care in Najera

    Hello! My wife & I are in Naverette. She started having severe leg & knee pain 2 days ago. Is there any place in Nájera where I can get her examined? I don’t speak Spanish well enough to explain her symptoms properly, so it would have to be English speaking. Any help will be greatly...

    My Wife Insists We Start From SJPDP!

    Great! That's what I thought. I'm surprised about the socks, though. I'll do that. Last year, many people said how much they envied, as their feet were "roasting."

    My Wife Insists We Start From SJPDP!

    Thank you, belatedly! I decided to reserve an ALSA bus out of Pamplona, but am open to a taxi, if I can share the expense with other pilgrims. I'll just be out the 44 Euros for the bus ticket, but get there sooner.

    My Wife Insists We Start From SJPDP!

    Hi Trecile! I just wanted to clarify: did you wear sandals from SJPDP to Roncesvalles? I wore sandals the entire Camino from Pamplona to SDC last year with trouble only once in deep mud. I am planning, again, to leave my shoes home. Mistake? I leave August 14th.

    Show Up; Get Bed?

    We’re going straight from SJPDP to Roncesvalles. Don’t know if we can make it by 2:00 on the same day. She could, I’m not sure about me ☹️
