Absolutely! Especially on the meseta in my opinion. I will never forget singing Janis Joplin songs at the top of my lungs with no one around to hear except my daughter who got some of it on video and says she will use it to blackmail me some day if necessary! Lol 😂
This albergue is really special! I have very, very fond memories of staying here this past summer. I think a lot of people bypass Sahagun (just stop to get their half way certificate and move on), but in my opinion Santa Cruz is a reason to spend the night. I had to visit the urgent care in...
I
The new samsung galaxy phone that I bought and paid for in full so that it was unlocked before I got to Spain would NOT work with an Orange SIM card fyi
I would recommend trying to book at Orrison. After much back and forth (insert self deprecating eye roll ;) , I did end up staying at Orisson and I am glad that I did. I liked being able to get a good night's sleep in SJ and a leisurely breakfast with a few cups of coffee before heading out...
So tired tonight here in Palas de Rei and wondering if you good people might recommend a place to reserve this Thursday night on O Pedrouzo for my family of 4.
Tomorrow we will stay in Casteneda and I don't really mind what time we arrive in Santiago necessarily so I suppose somewhere other...
Wow! These are great and specific ideas! I am very grateful for your response. Thank you.! We are heading out now to see the cathedral in Burgos and I will post later on a plan
In addition to wanting to see some places in Burgos, we do need a break. My daughter's feet are pretty sore. Only one small blister on a pinky toe but her heels feel bruised.
Hi again everyone,
My daughter and I are taking a rest day in Burgos today to do some site seeing. Her 14th birthday is in two days on the 6th and I am trying to figure out where to walk tomorrow and the next day to end up somewhere 'nice' on the 6th. Unfortunately I think this rest day will...
We ended up walking to and around estella, bought a lot of fruit (too many cherries in the market ;) then taking a bus to Los arcos and we are staying in albergue here. Thank you everyone for you replies. My new friends on the camino could not believe that I posted and received so many replies...
My daughter and I have walked from St Jean and we are now in Villatuerta. Today's heat and no shade was pretty brutal Tomorrow morning we will walk 4k or so to Estella and that is all because of the extreme temperatures
I think we will visit the market and churches in Estella. As much as I dont...
Yes! I did receive the invoice eventually. However, I decided not to keep the reservation after all! I had been in the middle of other frustrating things going on in my life, decided it didn't feel right, let it go and we decided we might walk the Valcarlos route or start early enough to...
"Dear St. Anthony, please come around. There's something lost that must be found!" I usually remember this when I'm at my wits end looking for something. Seems to work every time :)
Under the "resources" section (located in the blue bar at the top of the forum page). Not sure if I am not clicking on the right part when I get to the favorite albergues list there, but I can't seem to access it.
Thanks everyone for your replies and reassurance. I am sure it will all work out and now I am a bit regretful for posting because I think I was kind of 'venting'. The date and stay confirmation at Orisson determines my Paris, St Jean, and Rocanvalles albergue reservations which is why I wanted...
