Anyone doing the Camino in April 2016

Hi Jenny, I'll be at Orisson on April 13 also, Teal blue Osprey Sirrus! Meeting some other forum meetings at the Pilgrim Office in SJPP at 7pm on the 12th if you would like to join us.

That sounds like a great plan Cathy J. I'm actually staying at Corazon Puro on 12th so they will kindly drive me to SJPP on morning of 13th. I'll collect credential from Pilgrims office and walk to Orisson. Will be lovely to catch up with you there!
 
A guide to speaking Spanish on the Camino - enrich your pilgrim experience.
Also booked into Orisson on 13th April......... Blue Osprey Talon!
Buen Camino everyone!
Hi Jenyat, looking forward to meeting up with you and a fellow blue osprey talon I see.
We also have Rick and Connie at Orission on the 13th but they don't get in from Canada till after lunch on the 13th and they are heading straight up the hill mid afternoon to join us at Orission.
Having discussed the 13th yet except most intend to have a look round SJPP in the morning and head up the hill around lunchtime, so if you want to meet up at the office on the 13th then we can all arrange a time and maybe set out together but at our own individual pace.
Just an idea.
Not long now, Buen Camino
 
At Ultreia now. Leaving today. Napoleon is closed. This place is beautiful! Everyone is so friendly. If anyone needs an altus poncho, there are plenty here to buy. The shop on the main street in the old town has all the equipment you could need. So dont panic. I even bought a new backpack because I had issues with my original.
Such a caring and respectful village. A treat.
Buen camino everyone!
 
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!

I leave on Monday and start walking Wednesday. Thanks for such a chirpy post, makes some of those little butterflies settle.

Can't wait to be there :)

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Hi
We are planning to resume our Camino from Los Arcos on 24th. Fly into Bilboa afternoon of the 23rd. I would appreciate any guidance on getting to Los Arcos that evening. It appears the bus to Logrono leaves every 4 hrs which leaves it very late arriving at accommodation.
Look forward to any information available

I too am staying at Corazon Puro the night of Sat. 16, April. I'm flying into Madrid from Florida, busing to Pamplona, and being picked up at the bus station. Staying in SJPdP Sunday night and start walking on the 18th. Look forward to meeting you.

Hey Jeff, I am trying to book Corazon Puro for late August, I have emailed but got no reply, am I missing something, did you book via their website? Thanks in anticipation, Kez, leaving Barcelona August 21st :)
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

I'm on Camino now. Left April 18, in Astorga now, finish about May 25.
I booked Curazon Puro via their website. It worked out great. Istvar and his wife were great hosts, and transportation from Pamplona and to St. Jean went like clockwork. And you can't beat the price. 45 euros. Good luck, and Buen Camino.
