    An excess of questions from a first time pilgrim

    Carry less ... less is better!! You don't need much, lightweight quick drying clothes, one change of clothes, and a pair of lightweight shoes for evening ... keep your pack weight 6-7 kilos (I did and I was carrying a straightening iron ... I know... but some things you just gotta have!)...

    Where can I buy an Altus in Astorga?

    We are completing our Camino (stage 3) from Astorga heading out next weekend. Up until now we have managed without an Altus, but from what we have read on this forum, perhaps we will need them for last stage into Santiago. Does anyone know of a shop where we could purchase in Astorga upon arrival?

    Advice for a beginner!

    None of your questions are silly or obvious, we all started somewhere and this forum will provide you with the answers. Great advice has already been provided to you, but I just wanted to comment that the only place we got lost/confused?? was leaving SJPP and we walked to Orisson... but once...

    Luggage storage in Pamplona - is there any and where?

    Hi Victoria... we used Hotel Maisonnave.. if you stay just one night they will allow you to leave luggage in their storeroom ... which is very safe. The hotel is also in a great central area of Pamplona. We started our Camino in Pamplona... left our case at the Hotel. We changed over to...

    Burgos to Leon .. Only 5 days (what parts would you take a bus?)

    We are about to start second leg of our Camino (Logrono to Leon) in 3 weeks. Due to time restraints (and existing itinerary) we must get from Burgos to Leon in just 5 days ... Not ideal, but we need to fit in with Australian school holidays and is the best we can manage timewise for this trip...

    Reservation made at Orisson, but.......

    Hi Annie... I don't think we were walking fast, although we were a party of 4 .... 2 Mums with our 15 year old boys in tow, so perhaps they kept us "up to speed"... I could be mistaken, but I honestly think we walked up in under 3 hours including time to stop and enjoy the views and a piece of...

    We are continuing our Camino in September from Logrono to Leon. We would like to stay in private rooms this time but don't wish to spend a fortune on hotels every night.... what are the other options?
