    Santo Domingo de Silos

    I agree. I did what you plan. I walked the Camino France alone in 2007, and took a break and went to Santo Domingo de Silos. You just need one days break. As you can see on the thread, you go to Silos by bus from Burgos in the afternoon, stay a whole day, and take the bus back to Burgos early...

    Sexual discrimination on the Camino?

    I stayed in Santo Domingo for two nights five years ago. Went down from Burgos. As have been said: Only men can stay overnight inside the walls of the monastry. I would not call it sex discrimination on the Camino. It is monks monastry with old rules linked to beeing a monkes monastry. But in...

    When was it more difficult than you expected?

    Everybody knows that it is hard to walk from Saint Jean Pied de Port to Roncevalles. So why do you start there? In 2007 - Spring - I walked the French route. I decided to start where the road between Bayonne and Pau cross the Camino from Le Puy, just to make a few days walking in France before...

    Mid March Camino

    I walked from a small village in France 25.3 in 2007, and passed from St Jean Pied de Port to Ronscevalles 5 days later. It was not possible to walk the mountain-route, the Napoleon-way. We were told that that was forbidden. It was too much snow. So then I followed the road through the...

    Marie-Michèle?

    In March and April I walked the Camino, part of it together with canadien Marie-Michèle who walked from Le Puy to Cantiago. I got her e-mail and have tried to contact her, but I get no answer, so maybe I have got a wrong address. Does anybody know this canadien girl? Can anybody help me to get...

    First Day from SJDD

    Some days in France? I have dicided to start where the road between Bayonne and Pau cross the Camino from Le Puy, just to make a few days walking in France before crossing the Pyrennees. I found that a good solution for me. Others doing the same?

    The new Shelter. El nuevo albergue

    In the albergues you can usually not book. And if you are coming late in the evening, you should look for a "hostal" or "pension" where you can book on beforehand and come late. Usually the albergues close at 22.00 or someting like that. Good luck!

    O.K., So how about Easter

    Program I will be in the same area and have tried to find out what happens. It is not easy. If you are interested in procesiones, Logroño seems to be good. I have found something that looks like a program here: http://www.cofradiamariamagdalena.es/ss ... lapios.htm For Santo Domingo de la...

    securing a bed

    A bed om Via de la Plata I have understood, Omar, that when you went VdlP, you were almost alone. Since some of us have other experiences, I think it is wise to tell here. We went from Sevilla to Caceres from 24.4 to 9.5 last year, and we were not alone!! Several places the albergues were full...

    Pamplona y Eunate

    Thank you! Thank you very much! I am already looking forward to see the church ones more. All of us who do not have English as our first language, must be frank to communicate as best we can, and what ever that is, it is good enough, I hope. The aim is to understand each other. I could not...

    Pamplona y Eunate

    Eunate Tree years ago I visited Eunate when I was walking the Aragon route. I want to visit it again! I have seen from some pictures that people walking the French route, also visit Eunate, as you have done here. My question is then: Where do you cross over from the French route to the Aragon...

    Samana Santa (Easter) in Navarra and Rioja

    In bed 22.00? Usually the albergues close 22.00 (or 22.30). Do they practise that even during Easter? In Logroño, for example, there will be processions until midnight on Jueves Santo, Thursday. And several places there will be Vigilia Pascual on Saturday evening beginning 22.30. If I want to...

    Samana Santa (Easter) in Navarra and Rioja

    Easter Thank you very much for useful information on the ordinary program for the churches. I think I will try to send an e-mail with my concrete questions. I have found out a lot of what is going on in Pamplona and Logroño, so I know what to see and join when I am in those cities, and even in...

    Samana Santa (Easter) in Navarra and Rioja

    I will be in Navarra and Rioja during Easter (Samana Santa). I want to join the religious celebrations, and have tried to find out what, where and when there are special masses and processions. Not easy! If I use the Spanish names of the days combined with the names of the different cities, I...

    stopping at Silos?

    St Domingo de Silos Two days ago I decided that this year, when I reach Burgos in April, I will take a trip to St. Domingo de Silos. I have been in Burgos two times and thought of St. Domingo de Silos both times. And here comes the information on how! Great! Does anybody know which bus-company...

    Starting point La Virgen del Camino

    Alternative route Be aware that you have two alternatves from Virgin de Camino. The main route goes straight on to Villadangos del Paramo. Much walking along the road. If you turn left at the outskirts of VdC you can have a much nicer walk to a town called Mazariff on an alternative route. Two...

    We are all real pilgrims

    Life and Camino We call the Camino a picture of life, and also in our lives we try to tell one another what REAL life is. And of course we cant, neither in life nor on the Camino. Thank you for wise words.
