    Great Learning Experience

    I walked and completed the Camino Frances in Oct. 2012. I am a Camino walker, a peregino of the Way and it was the greatest learning experience in what has been to date a very full and joyous life. I walked with priests, rabbis, spiritualists, naturalists, pagans and adventurers of every...

    "Best experience" villages along Camino Frances

    Navarrete, Viana and Los Arcos were three of my favorites. All had very good food and wine.

    Food for thought on the Meseta!

    Me too! It was wet, windy, cold and I enjoyed it. Sounds strange but when I ponder my Camino, I always think of the Meseta.

    The different feelings second time around and possible pitfalls?

    I walked the Frances from Pamplona to Santiago de Compostela in Oct. 2012. I will walk it again with my fiancee next Spring and have no doubt that it will be different. Once I became convinced that I could complete the journey, I fell into the trap of seeing how fast I could complete the journey...

    Rest Days, where to stop ?

    Leon or Burgos are both good choices. I took my only rest day in Leon and truely enjoyed it. Friends I walked with sang the praises of Burgos. Short days of 20km or so can also help you recharge and remind you that it is not a race. Northern Spain is beautiful, take your time and enjoy.

    Walking the Camino Frances a second time... good or bad idea?

    I too plan to walk the Frances a second time and I look at it as if I am reading a very good and complex book over again. I always find something that I missed the first time, usually something insightful and important. Buen Camino

    Sleeping bag or Liner in September/October

    I walked the whole month of Oct. 2012 and used a silk liner and never had a problem. As stated the Albergues provide blankets. Buen Camino.

    Hat or No Hat? That is the question!

    Yes, you will need a hat at least some of the time. Draw string on the hat is also useful as it gets very windy on the Meseta.

    October Camino - How warm/thick of a Fleece or Jacket?

    Layer, layer, layer. Light fleece outer layer for mornings and evenings. Also good rain system is important..ie Ferrano or 1st generation Altus.

    Where did you have a good Menu del Dia on the Camino Frances

    Deportivo on the main square in Navarette serves a wonderful stuffed squid floating in it's own ink for 12 euros and it was one of the best meals I had on the Camino. The front is a Tapas Bar and the restaurant is in the back.

    Need Sarria Hostel Suggestion!

    I liked Casa Peltre at the foot of the stairs. Clean, small and friendly.

    Nationality Flags/Patches

    I also disagree with your discriptions, seems like sterotyping 101 to me. In spite of your qualifying statement, I believe you will find the Camino and it's pilgrims to be very different than you now seem to imagine.

    Nationality Flags/Patches

    Iqualmente, Buckeroo. I also enjoyed yours. Did you meet Marcel from the Neatherlands? He is doing the Porto route as we speak and I would love to be there. Have you any thoughts of returning?

    Nationality Flags/Patches

    I had American, Alabama, Spain and Camino Forum patches on my Backpack. Didn't seem to offend anyone and I certainly wasn't offended by anyone else's patches. I also had a Czech patch but didn't have time to sew it on. These were places I have hiked and it usually had the positive effect of...
