2023 update:
Lovely sweet San Bol. 4 bunk beds downstairs (8) and a double upstairs. Judith from Hontanas comes out to prepare the paella, salad, bread and wine. There is only one bathroom/shower, but everyone was quick and respectful. I was so lucky to be with a great group of people and made...
Last year on the Portuguese, (after Pardon), just as I spotted the roof of my albergue: I wasn't watching and "blip!" I twisted my ankle. Luckily, it was only a sprain. If I had my boots on, it may not have happened. A farmer, plowing his field, stopped his tractor, and half carried me to the...
How about taking transportation and visiting Burgos, Fromista, Shahagun (so), Leon, Villa Franca and Ocebraro?
You could also rent a car or take a train along the Camino Norte. Spain is so lovely. Enjoy exploring: you’ll be back.
Be the Camino angel on this one. My 2nd Camino I purposely set out to help others, packing little extras to give out. It was a very peaceful walk. I also wouldn't walk with a distance in mind. You might have to make reservations for the next day, but don't worry about finishing this time (it's...
I like the Morse Code method if you don't have an open end ticket. My first Camino (April/May 2015) I bused ahead when I ran short of time, but felt like I was rushing too much. I envied those who walked daily without destination. This time, I'm starting in Longrono and ending in Sarria, because...
I bet you don't feel lonely now, after all these responses! I suggest calling for a taxi when you need to. As mentioned, after a VERY long trip to Spain, you will need a time to adjust. Roncesvalles is a beautiful place to start, and still in the foothills of the mountains. Don't stop...
Pass is clear, we head out this morning to SJPDP (from Corizon Puro) lovely stay! Cold, but good weather. Bring your sleeping bag and fleece or down vest!

Please let the forum now if you are able to go over the pass. I hit the pass on the 21st, but will be following closely any reports that you early "April" pilgrims post. Buen Camino guys/gals!
My Delta flight lands in T-1 in Madrid. My flight departing to Pamplona departs from T-4. Has anyone gone from T1 to T4 in Madrid? I have a 3 hour layover. Thanks!
I just paid off my AT&T phone, and boy did they fight me on this. They wanted me to upgrade, or sign a contract, or wait! "Wait...don't leave us! " was their attitude. The store rep said that I couldn't unlock my phone and that I should just buy their international plan (she didn't know what...
