    Travel Insurance

    My experience and counsel to you is simple... you get what you pay for... when I went in 2021 I bought Allianz... not the cheapest but...... I used them again in 2023.....they are exceedingly communicative and professional... and will deliver the 'goods' in the unlikely case you need them...

    Refuge Orisson vs. Auberge Borda

    Definitely stay at Borda. You’ll meet plenty of people as you go —-Lauren the host is the best of the best one of my favorite nights ever.

    Auberge Borda

    Probably one of the best Albergue I’ve ever stayed on on both Caminos and yes, it was my first night in 2021

    Is 42 days for SJPDP to Finisterre too long?

    That’s what I did in 2021…… I wouldn’t change a thing……..perfect daily mileages, no injuries….remember it’s your Camino! “take it and enjoy. It will be over & in the past all too quickly” stole the words out of my mouth! www livealagom .life. My Camino Frances is there

    Descent into Molinaseca

    Yes, it was an epically (beautiful) downhill for my knees. Oofdah Descent. Clearly people have gotten hurt on this section.....However, with caution and slow speed AND walking poles.... you (all) can do it and will NOT regret this epic part of the Camino... Molinaseca is THE REWARD at the end...

    LIVE from the Camino My October Camino Frances

    This was a good post... I agree with most of it....so I won't give a lengthy 2c worth. I arrived in SJPP on thursday the 9th around 2:30 on at the bus from Pamplona.... i found SJ touristy and i was alone with a reservation just past Orisson at Borda (fabulous host) I am in good shape but it...

    Albergue Borda

    LIVE from the Camino Live from the Camino Frances

    I have one remaining day to go in my Camino and I will be in Finsterre tomorrow. All of the sights and sounds, the things that touched me and moved me, and obviously the people I’ve met. For those of you over thinking going on your Camino -draw a line in the sand and go. For those of you over...

    Announcement Refuge Orisson

    Announcement Refuge Orisson

    As i will be there sept. 9 this thread (with embedded emotion & opinion) has been helpful. Due to capacity (restrictions), covid variants (me vaxed & vexed), and snoring... i will likely bring (possibly regret the weight overage) a 2.5 lb (1.3kg) tent for last minute...

    Biking parts of the camino Frances

    I have been training diligently (another 10mi this a.m. ) but due to back, hip, knee potential issues i may elect to ride the Meseta section... as a 'failsafe' option. I'm optimistic but will keep this option in my 'pocket' (walk the first third, ride the peseta, and walk the last third.....I...

    First timer

    Forgive the (obvious) simple observations- take care of the knowns before you go! Second you CAN accommodate the known ‘unknowns’ ahead of time. The unknown unknowns are confronted en Camino… prayer likely helpful. Boy Scout motto “be prepared”. See you in September, I’m planning my first 7...

    First timer

    I fly in September 8. I’m in training now…BIG benefit of doing walking now is get your footwear / socks combo dialed in…. Critical! Methinks.
