    Burgos to Leon

    I walked this section mid-May in 2016. It was probably one of my most favorite and memorable sections along the Camino. Not because of the stunning views, but because of the people who became my family during that time. I stayed at the most interesting albergues through that section too. I...

    How much weight did you lose?

    Lost 20lbs total....probably needed to. (Unfortunately I gained it all back when I returned home.)

    Burgos - Leon

    From Burgos to Leon was one of my favorite sections. If you are worried about it being boring and flat, then look at the "roads less traveled" for this section. You can walk near rivers if you would like. One of the first days out of Burgos was NOT flat. Those who have walked probably know...

    LIVE from the Camino Was I conned or what?

    I had a similar situation. I gave them part of my provisions. It wasn't much, but they had some fruit and nuts to at least get them through.

    18 too young?

    Go. It sounds like the Camino is calling you. You will not be the only 18 year old walking the Camino. I met a few who just graduated high school and were doing the camino during their gap year before they started college. Wishing you all the best. Buen Camino !

    Gluten free food

    She could still do the ensalata mixita. Just don't forget to say "sin atun" (no tuna). I had a friend with me on the camino who didn't like the tuna either (or any fish).

    Gluten free food

    I walked the Camino Frances April - June 2016 with a gluten free diet. I made cards and laminated them. I printed them from this site: http://www.celiactravel.com/cards/spanish/ While on the camino, I lost my card. I had to learn to communicate my needs to them early on. "Sin Gluten" is...

    Pilgrims Guide Book versus GPS Apps

    You don't really need a guidebook. But if you want to look at interesting facts or alternate routes it may come in handy. I did not bring one on my camino and I was fine. There are PLENTY of other pilgrims that carry around a guidebook. (and they will share it .....and you won't have to...

    Lockers, Shipping Luggage & Early riser Peregrino

    Hi Ignacio, I never had a problem with theft along the camino. I had my valuables on me or very close at all times. There was never an issue. Only a couple of places I stayed at provided a locker. So I wouldn't really plan on that being an option. I didn't ship anything to Ivar until I...

    Leaving in 19 days - Last minute questions (cell memory, pillowcase, jewelry)

    I am in the process of deleting every unnecessary app on my phone. I wish I could remove the apps that Apple puts on my iphone automatically. I'll check my storage as well. Have you used Dropbox along the camino? Did you ever have any issues with it not downloading? or not having enough...

    Leaving in 19 days - Last minute questions (cell memory, pillowcase, jewelry)

    I never take off my wedding band or my earrings, so I think I will go ahead and wear them. I will also not treat my pillowcase with permethryn either. Thank you for the insight Chacharm.

    Leaving in 19 days - Last minute questions (cell memory, pillowcase, jewelry)

    I am leaving in just a few weeks. I have a few last minute things that I need to get some clarity on before I go. So, please bear with me if they have been answered already in an older post. 1. For those of you who have brought a cell phone as your camera: What did you use as a way to...

    Train from Madrid to Pamplona

    We still found it cheaper. I'll have to go back and look at my notes. .....I checked, it was around 20 euros difference. I bought my train tickets 60 days prior to the date I'd need them. Hope that helps!

    Train from Madrid to Pamplona

    ...I updated my response. Renfe didn't offer the best price. Rail Europe wasn't the best price either. It was actually the website below. http://www.raileurope-world.com

    Train from Madrid to Pamplona

    .......I just rechecked my notes.....it was a slightly different website that had the best prices for train tickets. The best deal came from the second website. I had to wait until it was about 60 days before the trip. https://www.raileurope.com http://www.raileurope-world.com ***...

    Train from Madrid to Pamplona

    Go to Rail Europe, the link is below. https://www.raileurope.com/index.html I tried other sites, however this one was the cheapest that I found for train tickets, especially if you book in advance.

    Tour groups

    One of the forum members on this site does tours. Her name is Nancy. Here is the link to her site. I have yet to go on my camino, but if I wanted to be part of a group, I'd definately look to doing one with her. I also had the pleasure of hearing about her camino experiences in person at my...
