    Anyone approaching Carrión de los Condes

    I recall attending a wonderful performance there featuring classical guitar with vocal accompaniment. A dynamic show given by a father and his son. Making it even more memorable, this event took place on my birthday. It was one of these special unplanned happenings that one experiences while...

    Thanks and just one more question re alternative routes

    Depending upon how energetic and fit you are feeling, I can highly recommend the Dragonte route as one of the options leaving from Villafranca del Bierzo. It is a challenging day's detour from the main route but remains as one of my all time favourite days while walking various routes with its...

    Seeking A Unique Property with home and area with open wall space

    It is actually Kyero (kyero.es). Good luck in finding a suitable property.

    Warning for crossing of Pyrenees

    Do you meant the current depth of the snow in the Pyrenees? I can only imagine that it is still quite significant as Spain had an historic storm a couple of weeks which resulted in considerable snowfall in the mountains north of Barcelona.

    Please Help A Guitarist on the Camino

    Yes, I recall attending a wonderful concert featuring a guitarist and his son singing in the church at Carrion de los Condes. It was in fact introduced as a concert given for pilgrims and was apparently a long-standing tradition there. It was most memorable for me as it happened to take place...

    Camino Must See

    When you get to Villafrana del Bierzo, you will have three different options. If you are feeling energetic, I would highly recommend that you take a route known as the Dragonte. It is a wonderful, but challenging, route not to be missed! Certainly remains as one of my all-time favourite days...

    Trail foods snacks

    Not sure about that as I tend to do my own thing and pack food to be eaten along the way for breakfast. Sorry, maybe someone else can reply to that question.

    Trail foods snacks

    Yes, very much like a Spanish Bruschetta! Often a staple food found on most menus in bars and cafes.

    Trail foods snacks

    Just for your information, eggs are generally sold by the half dozen in supermarkets in Spain. Unlike in the US and Canada, they are not kept in the refrigerated section of the supermarket but instead on shelves often near cheese and deli counters. My own preference for snacks along the way is...

    The original Camino Francés from Villafranca del Beirzo.

    You are likely referring to a route known as the Dragonte. It is a wonderful, but challenging, route option from Villafranca del Bierzo. It is not to be missed! Certainly remains as one of my all-time favourite days while walking many Camino routes. You can find very up-to-date and detailed...

    bed wanted in Orisson 11th Sept hostels full

    No, just a few km away...maybe 3 km (hard to say looking at the map but certainly less than 5).

    bed wanted in Orisson 11th Sept hostels full

    Yes, but I did see a couple of gites nearby listed on airbnb. They could be options for someone not wanting to walk to Roncesvalles on the first day.

    bed wanted in Orisson 11th Sept hostels full

    Have you looked on Airbnb? I just did a quick search and saw a couple of listings with openings. I don't know if they offer the type of accommodation you are seeking. Good luck!

    October 10th SJPDP

    I see you have received multiple answers for your original question. Just wanted to share some additional relevant information with you: be advised that 12 October is a national holiday in Spain (I noted that this is the second day of your Camino). This will mean that shops, cafes, etc. along...

    NIE / DNI or Passport?

    During our recent Camino (in Spain) we were able to use only our NIE cards and left our passports at home. This may however be different if you need to fly.

    Visit to Azpeitia from Pamplona or from Burgos?

    We recently walked from Barcelona to Pamplona and then took a bus to San Sebastian with another bus connection to Azpeitia (towards Loyola where we started the Loyola route). The buses run throughout the day and into the evening for both routes. I have attached the schedule for the bus from...

    Questions about hiking the Camino without mobile Internet access

    Interestingly, we have just gone out this past week and made our first Smart phone purchase solely for use on Caminos. We have now walked 5 Caminos without and have agreed that the time has come where it is almost a necessity when walking. Having said that, with your plans to walk the Frances...

    Buying shoes on the way......

    Like you, my husband wears size 14 US or 47 EU for his Camino shoes. Certainly, I would not recommend that you plan to purchase shoes in this size along the Camino. My husband has purchased shoes in this size at Decathlon but was unhappy with their fit and they have never been used on a...

    Dragonte route

    Go for it! A most memorable day on the Camino!

    Dragonte route

    We continued to walk on the road headed to the top of the quarry. The village of San Fiz do Seo will be visible across the valley. Descend into the quarry keeping to the left because you will exit on the left when you reach the bottom. You will come to a gate (it was chained when we got there...
