    Stopping between Roncesvalles & Zubiri - room share with 2 beds.

    We stayed at Urrobi and really enjoyed it. Just a few KS down the main road after Burgette (off Camino but easy walking). Dorms, cabins, tent sites. River swimming and a pool. Little shop too! Short walk the next morning to be back on the Camino. Regards Gerard

    How many days are needed for the Camino Frances ?

    It takes what it takes. You never quite know til the end. So you guestimate. I reckoned, after guestimating my daily mileage, it would take 35 days to walk the CF. I guestimated I would need/want one day off every week. I figured to have a day off in Pamplona, Logrono, Burgos, Leon, Astorga...

    LIVE from the Camino Valcarlos route! Days 1 & 2

    Although I have never walked the Valcarlos route, I have for several years heard of its many, usually season oriented benefits, extolled here on the forum and on other sites. But so far, the magnificence of the Napoleon route has ensured that for me no variant is worthy of consideration. Here's...

    The people we don’t yet know …anticipatory Buen Caminos

    Swimming pools

    I know there are two Albergues in Belorado with Pools. I stayed at the Albergue Cuatro Cantones - Calle Hipólito López Bernal 10, 09250 Belorado. Lotsa fun in the pool with my two young nephews, altho their big noisy "Bombs" elicited glares from some pilgrims who were seated outside and...

    Too late to start preparing & weather in May?

    I will repeat again the well worn phrase. "Start like an old man and you will finish like a young man". Walk carefully. Pause regularly and consider carefully what your feet and legs are telling you. Use two poles which will give stability as well as forward propulsion when used correctly...

    Orisson question

    Maybe 3 years ago I emailed for bunks for 4 - Myself, my niece and her two teenage sons. Jean-Jacque? - He personally confirmed the booking. We arrived to find that this time we were in a room under the deck. It had a double and two singles. He obviously figured us to be a married couple with...

    Difficulty finding accommodation in Roncesvalles or Burguete for April 2022

    Just one other that hasn't been mentioned. Camping Urrobi. It's a couple of clicks down the Pamplona road from Burgette. It has a variety of accommodation (and a pool yay!) and easy access back onto the Camino. Use button top right to translate the website. https://www.campingurrobi.com Regards...

    Second Camino Route Opinions

    Ending in Burgos? Not having walked the Meseta? Surely you didn't think you could let that option slide by without us noticing? Screw your courage to the sticking post! Regards and our best wishes Pilgrim. Gerard

    I never thought I would say this...

    For me the most memorable of views, and climbs, on the CF. It is indeed a pleasure to view it again. Thank you. Regards Gerard

    Discouraged in Florida

    I shall restrict my reply to the need to get fit. I find it essential to find a training exercise regime that I enjoy! It's gotta be fun so I'll "up and attem" in the morning! Little stretching exercises in bed every morning. A nice little breakfast before heading out for a walk. I say hello...

    Common Question: Days to walk SJPP to Santiago

    Took me 42 days, with deliberately spaced rest days at Pamplona, Logrono, Burgos, Leon and Astorga. So 37 days cruisie but steady walking, with time for sightseeing and fun along the way. Regards and good travelling, Gerard

    Walking after knee replacements

    While not knees, I have both hips replaced over a period of 25 years. One hip has been replaced twice, after 'wearing out', this practice, in medical parlance, being known as a 'Revision'. Surgeons advise the other will surely follow. I'm not one to push myself, but to take the time to enjoy the...

    Bayonne hotel booking

    Here's my little treat of a place on the coast at Biarritz. https://www.petithotel-biarritz.com/en/ A local bus, (15-20 mins) from Biarritz airport, drops you in downtown Biarritz, a block or so from Le Petit Hotel. The hotel is also a block fm the beach where there are lovely walks. From close...
