    What is the best way to check the weather on the Camino?

    I walked the Primitivo last April and Apps weren't the most useful....But do you what was? Asking the locals. I was in Bodenaya and not only did the hospitalero tell me a storm was coming so did every shop owner I talked to...and sure enough the snow came when they said it would.

    Ten days on the camino, but where to start?

    I walked the Primitivo in 11 days. and loved it. No rest days. Rugged and less traveled You could just walk from Oviedo to Melide where the CF joins the "Original Way"

    Decisions, decisions…

    I asked the same question a few months ago. I had planned to walk 15 days on the Frances route or I could do the Primitivo. I waffled several times and then a wise pilgrim on this site said to follow my heart. So I did, I canceled all my reservations, bus tickets and set off for the Primitivo...

    Cash and credit cards on the camino...

    Sadly to say, I'm finding that most places don't take AMEX when booking online before my trip so had to get a VISA CC........thoughts? Also I was thinking of getting a Debit Card specifically for the Camino that doesn't have fees. Any suggestions? I have Chase now but do you know of any banks in...

    Can I Continue My Camino Walk with an Uncompleted Credential?

    I'm in the same predicament almost. I started at Astorga and walked to SDC in 2016. In 2 months 'I'm walking from Pamplona to Saghun. I don't care about the Compostella. But I would like to stay in the Municpal albergues along the way. Can I use my old Credential?

    Arriving in St. Jean before April 1.

    Decisions, Decisions! I know I will come back again but I would hate to have missed a great part of the Camino. It would be easier to start walking in Pamplona for sure and I would get to experience some of the Meseta.......

    Arriving in St. Jean before April 1.

    Thanks so much. I did walk from Astorga to SDC in 10 days....and in retrospect should have slowed down. Walking from 7am to 5pm most everyday, all I wanted to do was eat, take a shower, and sleep. This time I want to slow down and only walk until 1pm or so. I guess what I am questioning is if it...

    Arriving in St. Jean before April 1.

    Thanks for getting back to me. I am unfamiliar with the road conditions across the Pyrenees. I'm form Washington State where the passes are brutal in winter time. So it seems that the Valcaros Route will be most definitely open at the end of March and getting to SJ will be no problem. I was just...

    Arriving in St. Jean before April 1.

    I'm arriving in Madrid the morning of March 28th then head on up to Pamploma. I understand that the Napoleon Route will be closed until April 1 but the lower route should be open. My question is although I don't plan on making reservations once I start I would like to make one in St Jean the...

    Offer one Camino suggestion.....

    Don't get a pedicure within a month of you leaving for the Camino. Your skin needs to be rough and not smooth to avoid those blisters and hot spots.
