    First Camino advice needed

    I think I may sound silly....but just to clarify, I could take the bus from the entrance to the airport over to the main bus station (and then from there the bus to Roncesvalles)?

    First Camino advice needed

    Buses no longer run from the airport to the main bus station? Or did you mean that buses no longer run from Pamplona to Roncesvalles?

    First Camino advice needed

    Hello Kanga, I've found that the bus runs from Pamplona to Roncesvalles at 1800, so I believe I could make it in time for the 2000 mass if I catch that bus! Can I get the credential from the monastery after the mass, or will it be too late? Can you tell me how to get to the main bus station of...

    Buying simcard in Pamplona on a Sunday

    That's a good idea! I also think you will find it funny to know that I am 31 and not technologically savvy...lol. ;):rolleyes: I just never have been much into technology, but I am learning the tricks I need for this trip. Thank you for your help!

    Buying simcard in Pamplona on a Sunday

    Yes and no...my "thing" would be to not talk for the entire period and detach completely....so, I have to figure out compromises that make them feel at peace with a solitary female roaming the countryside in another country by herself. My family has experienced more than our share of unexpected...

    Buying simcard in Pamplona on a Sunday

    No, I do not want to make calls or messages while on the path at all, but my family will feel a lot better knowing that they can call or text if they need to get a hold of me when I am not in a Wifi area...I may decide that I will agree to check emails once a day when I have wifi access and then...

    Buying simcard in Pamplona on a Sunday

    Would text messaging be billed as voice traffic? I can avoid texting outbound messages, but if I have my phone on, text messages will automatically come in and be billed. Would that be a problem if I was using the phone as a wifi device on airplane mode?

    Buying simcard in Pamplona on a Sunday

    Pano, I love all your comments! They are direct and to the point... :) Where are you from (if you don't mind me asking)? You remind me of dear Argentine and German friends. love love love. I was aware of the first two points and intended to use my iPhone only with wifi originally, but I was...

    Buying simcard in Pamplona on a Sunday

    ok, I usually ask little kids here for help with technology because I stink. lol I am deliberating about my options. Can I insert a Spanish sim card into my iPhone (for emergency calls) and yet keep the iPhone on airplane in order to use it only with wifi, unless there is an emergency? I was...

    First Camino advice needed

    Musing on this some more.... Roncesvalles may be the right start for me. I do like the commencement mass idea... Spanish has been my passion for many years (uni degree, a year in Argentina, 6 mos in Mexico, a group of Latino friends all through college). I think that maybe the "beginning" of the...

    First Camino advice needed

    I've been thinking of starting from Pamplona...I like the idea of not having to do more trains, planes, and automobiles after 3 (3!) flights from the US....However, I really like the idea of starting off with a pilgrims' mass/opening blessing. Any suggestions for Pamplona? Thanks!!

    First Camino advice needed

    After physically testing it, I'm sure I would call it a "mountain"! :D:eek::confused: I am nervous...but I am in good physical condition, although not trained..... I am still leaning on just going ahead and going for it, but I fly into Pamplona, so I still have some time to think on it....

    First Camino advice needed

    thank you all for the tips and recommendations! I am definitely leaning towards starting at the beginning. The encouragement is definitely appreciated. I was nervous about the beginning elevation, but from your advice, I think I will be ok. The beginning mass and all sounds like the right start.

    First Camino advice needed

    Hola! What a great resource this site is...thank you to all who contribute so much info! I need a little advice. I am planning my first Camino for mid-September. I am deliberating between starting at Roncesvalles or Burgos. I want at least a few weeks on the Camino to draw the benefits of...
