    Is the Albergue in Roncesvalles a “must”?

    Oh I know and switches the lights off too , trying to think which albergue did that . But the one in lograno though they did lock up the doors around about 10 , the dining room was still open so the party was in there..

    Is the Albergue in Roncesvalles a “must”?

    Lol I know the feeling trying to catch up with your sleep only to have the drunks returning from the bar lol then you try and get back to sleep when someone next to you is snoring , then there are those up at the crack of dawn rushing out at 5am

    Is the Albergue in Roncesvalles a “must”?

    My CF was partly Albergue and partly budget hotels as I felt at times I needed my own privacy as there were times in the Albergue that I wanted an early night yet could not get it .. I know there is a budget as it could end up being a costly affair ..I never stayed in Roncesvalles myself but...

    Is that OK to use Google maps for Camino Frances?

    I used Google maps to direct me to my accommodation and that worked perfectly fine , but I never used a map for the Frances as I found it very well signposted but did look at the camino Ninja from time to time to see how far I was away from the next calling point and what shops if any did they...

    Things I fear

    My answer would be , put all your negativity you have behind you , go and enjoy you be surprised how much you will want to return ..it is an easy route to follow just follow the signs , you be surprised by the amount of a warm welcome you will receive and time will just fly by .. I walked half...

    Revised title: Didn't know about other ways to reserve beds, and found no rooms on booking.com

    I find it hard to believe that the monastery has no space for the next 7 months you need to make some form of contact .web address www.alberguederoncesvalles.com .

    How Important Was It To You To Do "Full" CF ?

    Although it is between 30-35 day hike it surely goes very quickly especially if walking with others, I always found that the daily walk of 20-25km seemed to be over by just after 3pm .. I always split my walk days into 4 stages with three breaks , 2 coffee breaks and a lunch break in between...

    April 1st starting in SJPdP - How many people?

    I went in the last week of March this year and to be honest I hardly saw anyone , although SJPDP is a small place there is enough places to stay .. it was only on the 2nd day that I noticed a trickle then the numbers grew at Pamplona on the 4th day .. but as your thinking of starting on the 1st...

    Daily budget in 2022 on the CF

    In March I was In March i gave myself a budget of 50€ a day over the 32 days on the camino Frances so on the 7th day I found that I had spent far less so treated myself to a private en suite at a pension , feeling the need of being on my own and getting an early night , however it could be more...

    Concerned

    I understand when pilgrims are turning up with all kind of injuries after the first day and unable to get a bed ..It was not until I got to Estella that I realised I had a swollen calf and kept on till Leon , I believe it was gradually brought on from the first 4 days the toughest on the Camino...

    Concerned

    Oh I understand that as I walked to Espinal a further 6km and got a bed ...it's like rush hour out there that's why the first few days I avoided the well known ones and stayed at private Alberques by walking further ..though I was tempted to stop and rest for the night under a tree
  15. cardifflad52

    Concerned

    If I started my camino again I would go with the flow and see what happens , if it means sleeping under the stars somewhere so be it ,what will be will be on the camino so don't concern yourself about where your going to sleep each night but leave it in the hands of the camino otherwise you...

    Yes there been times when I could so easily have called it a day especially when I went back to the UK from Leon but the camino was calling me back and I knew it be playing on my mind until I returned despite my injuries ..now its done I am a bit jealous of those starting their journey
