We couldn't find the Pension Lambertini when we were there in July despite walking up and down the street for ages . . . there was no sign at all in the doorway of no 17 and no answer to the phone. Do you need to walk upstairs first before you see the sign? I'm afraid we just assumed it had...
We had some bad experiences with Click Air this summer.
The first was when two of us bought tickets for a flight the following day from Santiago to Barcelona. This resulted in waiting around for hours watching the list which said 'delayed' and then, at last, everyone was bundled onto a...
Language
We've been on the French camino for a month now and I don't think German would be much use. French has been invaluable - but u can probably get by with English and a few words of French - it's much better with some French though.
FLY to le puy
We got a train - left Newcastle England early in morning -to Paris then train & arrived Le Puy at 5 BUT there are flights from Paris daily - we discovered later - search Google for the airline - i'm on a french keyboard currently and typing/searching is v. difficult. Windy
hand luggage only problems

Thanks for your help - now a question about taxis?
Thanks very much.
Peter: yes, I found the Vueling flight - it would be great - but it leaves just a bit too early - husband's plane arrives Barcelona 13.20 - which doesn't allow enough time to collect baggage and check in for the Vueling...
Help. I am trying to arrange a flight for my husband and friend from Barcelona to Galicia (preferably La Coruna) on 2nd July. I am sure when I looked a while ago I remember seeing lots of afternoon flights at a very reasonable cost.
Now the only suitable flight (Spanair) is going to cost a...
Airlines and baggage
Yes, the UK is very strict. Just flying from Heathrow to Newcastle recently (i.e. within the UK) meant complications about taking liquids in hand luggage - liquids includes gels like vaseline etc and people were stopped with bags that didn't fit into the dimensions.
I...
Luggage delays
We've had problems with luggage delays on each of our recent flights (last summer and last week). Also on a group walking day recently I overheard at least three conversations about lost luggage.
What appears to be happening as a result of the increased security is that...
Hotel in Pamplona?
We're also going to be looking for a hotel in Pamplona - Pamplona is going to be the end of our walk this summer rather than the start so want somewhere comfortable to unwind and relax . . . What hotel was it that was recommended? I don't know if it is old age or failing...
