    Suggestions for a place in Pamplona to spend 2-3 nights before stating CF?

    Hi. I LOVE Pamplona and it's a wonderful city to recover from your travels. I am acually flying out to Madrid tonight and will take the train to Pamplona the next day and stay 2 nights in Pamplona. Just wonderful to walk around, sit at the main square and just relax. I booked Hostal Arriazu...

    Has the Camino Frances become a victim of its own success?

    Well I walked my 5th Frances June 2022. I was expecting huge crowds after all opened post Covid. Turned out we barely saw any pilgrims each day . We did start walking later each day , Maybe that was why.(9 am, and yes I stay in private pre booked hostels so I don;t have to rush for a bed. It's...

    Top 2 rest days places

    My first Camino I planned rest days, after that one, I never did take an official rest day but simply do a few very short days. I am not a city person and don't feel the need to explore Burgos, Leon or Pamplona. However, I am originally from Europe so have traveled there extensively . If this is...

    Any tips on walking the Meseta in February?

    We love solitude and welcome chill winds (living in the Florida heat all year :) ) Our main concern is rain. But figured (hope) the Meseta is a fairly dry area. ?!?!

    Death of a German pilgrim on the Camino Frances

    We’re currently in rabanal. And it’s indeed HOT ! I decided today to break up the next stage in 2 days . Just 10 km a day till this heat is gone . We too are in our 60’s and I feel it’s too much for us to walk 20/25 km In this heat . We got umbrellas and they help a bit but going uphill in...

    Descent into Zubiri

    Isn't it interesting how our views change. I "hated" the downhill into El Acebo the first time. My feet were killing me and I barely made it into town. The next time it was no problem at all. I was prepped mentally for the worst but somehow it wasn't. The same with the downhill from Alte de...

    So I lost track. It seems like it was only last week you polled us about where to start :) You have 26 days. What day are you on now ? I guess it will only take you 3 more days to get to Santiago. How are your legs and feet doing after so many long days ?

    LIVE from the Camino The French Way - NobleHiker Chronology

    I'm now starting to understand why you started in SJPDP with only 26 days. You walk the usual 2 days distance in 1 day !!!! WOW. How are your feet and legs responding to this ? At this pace you even might be able to walk to Muxia in 26 days lol !!!! Dont forget to smell the roses though. Buen...

    Polling Fellow Walkers - Start in SJPP or Pamplona?

    I started 3 times in Pamplona and 1 time in sjpdp . The times I started in Pamplona were due to limited time. If I had plenty days to walk the Frances, I would start in SJPDP. So for me it's not weather related but time related:) Enjoy :)
