Thank you everyone for all the reply, and sorry for just getting back.
I decided to start from SJPP (just made booking for a night in SJPP and Roncessvales now). Perhaps, I still prefer to attend a daily mass after a day walking around the large masses ;)
I think it is true, I prefer...
Dear All,
I am back again after my last "failed" Camino in 2015. Thank you for your wonderful and kind support last time, I really appreciate it. I got my leave approved for 3 weeks, and yesterday just decided to book tickets to Madrid on June 8.
I have walked CF fr SJPP in 2012/2013, tried...
Hi All,

Hi,
At last, my passport has just been returned from the Embassy. They grant me 30 days visit, multiple entries. Everything is ready now, I am so so happy.... Just need to book the train and first-night accomodation. :D :D :D
I promise myself to enjoy and treasure every minutes of...
Thanks Mralisn,
I wish you the same. Hope to have time, energy/health, and fund to do it...it's quite difficult to find balance between these three things :) In the mean time, I need to sharpen my map reading ability, not sure if I won't get lost in the Norte (I assume less crowds and arrows?)...
Hi,
I just returned from the Embassy. The Lady kept asking me about the stamp, and said she didn't understand, even I am showing last year's ticket, and I was in Schengen state as period granted in earlier visa (proven by my departure/arrival stamp in Jakarta's airport).
I am lucky, there is...
Hi NoQ,
For Schengen visa appl, I read that we need to apply at the Embassy of first entry state or the longest stay. But, somehow I still don't understand the logic, if travelling between Schengen state is considered as "domestic" and no checking in the border, then why should we apply at the...
Hi,
Thanks for help. I have printed out last year's ticket and will bring them to the Embassy tomorrow, and explaining that my stay was within the period stated in earlier visa. I hope it would be sufficient for them *crossing fingers*
Hi NoQ, I already submitted many documents and papers for...
Hi,
I was just phoned by the French Embassy in Jakarta regarding my visa application. I plan to walk the Camino on May 4 (last year I walked from SJPP-Fromista) and as an Indonesian passport holder I need to apply for the Schengen Visa. The Embassy is asking why my passport was not stamped in...
Hi,
I am female, from Indonesia, will continue my second leg on May 5 from Fromista/solo (last year I walked from SJPP to Fromista), hopefully have enough time to reach Santiago (my return flight from Madrid booked on May 25).
I want to thank to the Forum for all the information, advise...
