    French rail strikes March 2023

    Lots of ways to do this. I’d look for best connections and affordability. If you can get to Pamplona, and work your way back to SJPP. First Camino lesson in process (although it doesn’t lower stress…hold plans lightly). Also by prebooking everyday, there is a bigger problem with glitches like...

    French rail strikes March 2023

    Personally, I would fly to Bilbao Spain. It’s a beautiful seaside town in northern Spain frequented by visitors so good flights. A quick 2 hours bus ride to Pamplona. Then from there there are multiple options. This strike may not be easy to navigate. Get out of France and work your way to SJPP...

    Transportation options from Burgos to Bilbao

    I have done it. It is easier on bus than train. I would check Alsa bus and renfe train websites as I found rome2 Rio didn’t include all times.

    Jacotrans -ruined backpack

    I would try to find some sort of bag to put the damaged pack into and send it ahead until you reach a larger city. Maybe one of the albergues would have an idea for a bag.

    Luggage transfers to albergues without room reservation

    There are many places with no taxis, so I wouldn’t count on that. Make sure you can carry all of your belongings comfortably.

    Traveling from western Canada - how far in advance do you book your flights?

    I live in Vancouver and booked a few months out. The prices can vary according to the day, time etc. I suggest erasing all cookies and/or use another computer, then try again. In the spring I could fly YVR to Porto on TAP (air Portugal) for a great price, business class the same as other...

    Agencies for the Camino

    No need for agency really. Use booking.com and then you will be able to save $ paid to the agency.

    Backpacks on Train and Bus

    As you are planning, let me tell you how very hilly the last 100 km out of Sarria is. I am adjusting all my plans to walk less km per day.

    Backpacks on Train and Bus

    You can put them in the hold of the bus.

    CDG Airport connection

    I would allow at least two hours.

    Bilbao Uber

    Uber worked fine but just to let you know in Old Bilbao the taxis and Ubers don’t drive in there and want to meet you or drop you off on the river road. It makes it difficult to tell drivers where you are, when you aren’t sure yourself. Also, Uber misread my current location and charged me 4...

    Is there still a Horse and Carriage Running between Carrion and Calzadilla?

    Has anyone taken an Uber from the Bilbao airport into town? I am wondering where you get picked up.
