    Transport fr SCQ to Sarria

    I took Monbus last week from Santiago to Sarria, and the fare was 10 Euros. From the airport would be just about the same.

    Graffiti removal

    I remember seeing the red "Santiago de Compostela" letters were covered with so many stickers in May, 2019.

    Which side of the path

    If everyone walks on the left side of the road, it not only is safer but also helps move car/tractor move faster using the other side of the road. When people are present on both sides of the road, it is more difficult for cars/tractors to navigate in the middle.

    Reservations

    I had a similar experience leaving sjpdp until I got to Pamplona. I think it is about time to start Camino France start from Pamplona rather than sjpdp until people straighten out the mess. Zubiri and Larasona municipal albergues were undergoing restoration, and that was the main problem in...

    To book ahead or not?

    I passed Zubiri on April 28, and the municipal albergue was closed for renovations, and that caused shortage of beds in town. I think Larasona has the same situation. No idea when the municipal albergue will reopen, but until then the private albergues and the taxis will have very good...

    CF from SJPdP in the winter

    I am trying to help a friend of mine who wants to start from SJPDP in late January. I believe Napoleon Route is closed for the winter. Questions: 1. He will arrive in Madrid Airport( Barajas). In the summer I think I saw buses at the airport that goes to SJPdP. Is there such bus in late...

    I stared into the pictures for a long time to see why there are two pictures..... Can you find 8 differences between the two?

    Sahagun Street Market

    Finding a market along the way is fun. It is interesting to see all those things are being sold, but other than eating and drinking, you really don't want to buy anything because whatever you buy will increase the weight and take up precious space in your backpack -- and you have to carry it...

    Availability of buses for non-walker?

    A new business for Jacotrans? Ha Ha, this reminds me of the article I read the last Sunday in the Chicago Tribune. It is amazing what people would ship, especially through the mail. : (one of) 10 Things You Might Not Know About the Cabinet. The post office held Cabinet status from 1829 to...

    LIVE from the Camino Is it all hills??

    Have you ever noticed the price of Budweiser beer in the stores? It costs as much as other imports. Obviously someone buys, or they would not waste store shelves. I like Galicia Estellas given a choice, but San Miguel and Mahou are excellent too.

    LIVE from the Camino Is it all hills??

    Speaking of beer and wine, which causes you fat more? Are they both equal opportunity offenders? After walking a month from Santander to do Camino Primitivo, I expected to lose serious amount of weight, but I haven't. I think it is all those beer and wine after the hard walk (hard climbs ) made...

    LIVE from the Camino Lots of Peregrinos

    I am sure in 19 days you will be dealing with better weather and more crowd. One of the reasons why they say CdN and CP are more difficult is, in addition to the terrain, not many albergues are available forcing you to walk more than you'd like to. Like anything else in life everything has...
