    Pamplona, Burgos, Leon and Santiago de Compostela????????

    Two days in Pamplona

    Hi Katia - I spent a night in Pamplona last September and stayed in the Hotel Eslava (booking.com). It was sort of quaint but very close to the old city where there are many lovely places to eat and wander. I was lucky enough to be there on a Saturday and in the late afternoon the streets...

    Camino Frances from Astorga in 15 days...

    I will be walking 7 days from Roncesvalles in September this year and then hoping to find my way to Astorga to walk for another two weeks into Santiago.

    You can re-assure your husband that he is not alone in his suffering :| If you are not a gym person, there is an eight week pattern to prepare for 20-30 km at http://www.aussiewalk.com.au/training.htm.
