    Sierra de Atapuerca!

    It's absolutely worth a stop! I concur.

    Is starting from Pamplona 'cheating'...?

    Private Lodging at El Burgo Ranero. Any recommendations?

    I had a great experience in the private albergue Santa Clara in Bercianos del Real Camino about 8 km before El Burgo Ranero.

    Best guide for reading before you go/taking with you??

    As a preparation, I would recommend "Priez pour nous a Compostelle" by Barret/Gurgand, but am not sure if there is an English translation. It gives you the medieval/1970s perspective. On the go, the phone app guide "Camino" by Eroski consumers (in Spanish) does not weigh a thing and is...

    Hotel recommendations for Pamplona, Burgos, Leon, Astorga, S

    If you like to reward yourself on the way, the Marriot in Burgos is an extremely good deal for a 4 star. It is also very close to the Cathedral.

    Must see sites along the Frances

    So much has been said already, but I really would like to underline Atapuerca and its archeological site.

    Pamplona

    Annakappa is absolutely right, you start from wherever you like to start. Having said that, I started there this March and found Pamplona a great place to start the Camino, as it is easily reachable via train and bus. The city offers to be a great entry point into northern Spanish culture, and...

    If you had a couple of rest days, where would you take them?

    If you would like to see more, you could also envisage side trips away from the camino, for instance from Leon to Oviedo (San Salvador cathedral) or from somewhere near Santo Domingo de la Calzada to the monastery of San Millan de la Cogolla, which is a UNESCO World Heritage side. For some true...

    What time of year is best?

    The best time to do the Camino is when it suits you best to walk it!

    There is one last thing I'm worried about: albergues filling

    Totally second that, opt for places inbetween 'guide book stages'. That's where I had some of the best albergue experiences.

    IMPORTANT: Advice for pilgrims setting off APRIL 2013

    Re: IMPORTANT: Advice for pilgrims setting off in March 2013 To start in Roncesvalles or to start in Pamplona seems to be the question of the week. Does anybody know what the current situation on the leg Roncesvalles-Zubiri-Pamplona is? Many thanks!
