    Vegano 🌱

    Yes, I can testify to that too! I was there in 2019 and they made a good mushroom risotto for me for entree and, I think, a vegetable lasange for main course, even though they were not on the menu. Actually, their breakfast was good too! Their croissants were French boulangerie standard - but of...

    Can't get a response from Refuge Orisson, what to do?

    I pre-booked all my chambres d'hôtes accommodation on the Le Puy route from Aumont Aubrac to Conques by email, and received prompt confirmations (most within 24 hours), and that was in February when those places were probably closed. They were also very responsive to my other enquiries. I had...

    ALSA bus no longer going to SJPP?

    A very useful document, thanks! I wonder if the ‘2017’ in the ‘horaires Pampelune -> St Jean Pied de Port’ is a typo... Anyway, if that horaires is anything to go by for 2019, the 17h30 bus would suit me just fine!

    ALSA bus no longer going to SJPP?

    Thank you both! It didn't even occur to me that the bus service on this route is seasonal... I am actually being super organised and am checking the connections for May next year. With that being the beginning of the Camino season, I assume the bus to SJPP will have resumed running by then? By...

    ALSA bus no longer going to SJPP?

    Dear fellow pilgrims, I have been trying to check the bus connections from Pamplona to St Jean Pied de Port. I am in particular looking for a late afternoon / evening bus. I did a search on the ALSA website and nothing came up. I emailed ALSA and they said they no longer service this route. I...

    Sending excess luggage from Bilbao to PL Reina

    Great advice! Does it mean albergues are accustomed to receiving packages like this? I was initially concerned that, even though my albergue has been forewarned, the parcel when it arrives may look too much like an unsolicited package with a bomb, drugs etc. If I send my things in a suitcase...

    Sending excess luggage from Bilbao to PL Reina

    Hi All - I am looking to send some excess luggage from Bilbao to my albergue in Puente la Reina (who has agreed to store the luggage for me until my arrival). Do I assume correctly that the best way of sending luggage is by using the Correos? The only thing is that the Correos website seems to...

    Finished with my Camino last 100 KM- impressions

    Fair enough. I will try to give you the name of the company if I can work out how to send private messages. The reason why I am a bit reluctant to name the company here is that it will likely give the impression that this company is worse than the company specifically recommended by the OP...

    Finished with my Camino last 100 KM- impressions

    I note that the OP has posted this in the Camino Frances section of the forum, but I would like to make some comments about using tour companies more generally for the Camino, including on other routes. I have just returned home from my 2nd Camino, on the Portuguese route this time, which went...
