    Leon to Astorga: Dangerous section?

    Taking the bus into, or out of Leon is madness, in my opinion. Do you go on the Camino to walk, or to sit on a bus? Walking is walking and you are you, whether you are in the suburbs or the countryside.

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

    In Pamplona, we stayed in Hotel Europa. It's a 3 star hotel, and not so expensive. But the best part is their Michelin starred restaurant. When we stayed, there was an offer where hotel guests could enjoy 3 courses and 2 glasses of wine for €32. The location is great and the staff are very...

    Another piece of currency related advice for Americans: do remember that Europe does not have the same tipping culture as you do. It varies between countries, but this is what I've gathered for Spain. It's not the done thing to tip bar staff for drinks. You may leave a couple of coins when...

    IMPORTANT: Advice for pilgrims setting off APRIL 2013

    Re: IMPORTANT: Advice for pilgrims setting off in March 2013 Walked from SJPP to Roncesvalles today on the Valcarlos route. Having walked the Napoleon before, I can say this way is also beautiful. There is relatively little walking on busy roads, although today is Sunday so I imagine roads are...
