    Lightweight sleeping bag October - November 2020

    It’s gone up a bit in price, but still the best value for money, if you’re going in spring or autumn. Packs down really small.

    Who didn’t???

    OK, fell for it.

    Lets Build an Albergue!

    Don’t forget the great bar and the huge outdoor space!

    I bring my own S hooks.

    Lets Build an Albergue!

    Well, you might get something in the village, (there’s not much), but the next real place to eat is 12km away.

    Lets Build an Albergue!

    But some of us are introverts. I like the power points and the curtains. When you’re tired at the end of the day sometimes you just want quiet. When I want to socialise I go out to dinner.

    Lets Build an Albergue!

    Yes to the covered outdoor kitchen and the gender separated bathrooms.

    Lets Build an Albergue!

    Yes! La Finca is just about perfect! Private bunks for each pilgrim. Lots of hot water for the showers, with very spacious stalls. Free use of the washing machine. You do have to prepare for breakfast in the AM, but they do provide a coffee machine and the coffee. Great food, free tapas (?)...

    Alto del Perdon

    I realize that in the end I can always get to my destination more quickly by taking the paved route, as it's usually not that much longer than the footpath. So next time I'll be taking the road, thank you.

    Monasteries, Convents and Chapter Houses

    San Juan d'Ortega, just before Burgos?

    One Albergue that you’d recommend

    Followed some recommendations in "Favorite Albergues" pdf last spring. Hated every one of them. Just visited Granon to use the toilet, could never stay there. I don't care about the "vibes", if I'm not comfortable, it's a no go. Favorite albergues on the CF? La Finca outside of Fromista...

    Best route for French Camino

    Depending on the time of year. I started from Lourdes October 2018 and while there was accommodation to be found at reasonable distances cafes and bars were almost non- existent, one or two expensive country hotels that didn't seem pilgrim friendly. The one cafeteria that I did pass was...

    Tacky or Cool?

    While on line at the Pilgrim Office I saw a French woman with a hiking skirt covered in cellos. I coveted. There's a fabric company that can do that for me........

    Booking rooms in advance

    That’s only on the booking sites. More than once I’ve called the directly and gotten a room on the same day, never mind the day before. Another good reason to carry my phone.

    Questions about Pamplona to Burgos to recent walkers

    Or just stay at the albergue in Cizur Menor and set out from there in the AM. The city bus leaves from the other side of town, stops right in front of the albergue.

    Blanket clarity

    Nor any bedding at Roncesvalles, for that matter. Definitely not at the Burgos muni. I think blankets are made available at most private albergues, but seeing how they were being used by some of the other pilgrims and knowing that they were not cleaned after each use, I wouldn't touch one...

    Blanket clarity

    It seems that men tend to sleep hot and women tend to sleep cold. I ordered the warmest Sea to Summit sleeping bag liner, took one look and sent it back. I knew it wouldn't suffice for me. I sleep with a light duvet in summer in the UK. I think it was you, @trecile, who posted a photo of...

    Where is the steep and lengthen rocky (pebbles) descent?

    Well, yes, there is a road, but it sounds as if locals use it for formula 1 practice, at least on the weekend.
