bkkboy,I just cycled 1,300km from Pamplona to Santiago to Lisbon. I still not had enough so am returning to Pamplona by train, and plan to cycle towards Paris on Eurovelot 3. The cost of available accomodation along the route astonished me, 350 euro a night in some towns, so plan to buy a tent etc in Pamplona and camp along the way. Has anybody any experience of camping along Eurovelot 3? Some of the campgrounds are as expensive as hotels. All I want is a patch of ground for the night. Away before sunrise.
I would love to do a trip like this on an old English 3 speed! No schedule. I would be happy to do this trip on my modern bike as well but not be in a particular hurry.Even now at 82 I love bikes; summer 1959 I biked using 3 speeds from London to Rome in four months.

I bet this ride when you were 20 yers old must have been the most incredible experience. I will tell my 19 year old daughter, an adventure seeking college sophomore, that you made this ride back in '59.
Thanks for the heads up on the European bike routes. I have never noticed these before.I just cycled 1,300km from Pamplona to Santiago to Lisbon.

I walked the Via Francigena (sort of) from Barcelona to Rome, joining the Francigena in Turin. My time in France ended as I crossed from Montgenevre into Italy. In general, France was expensive compared with Spain and Italy, but the French people were beyond compare in helpfulness and friendliness. I will never forget my time in France -- I fell in love with French people. I camped in some public campgrounds with a tent, and had to spend as much for those as in Spain in an albergue or in Italy in a convent or monastery. Plan on spending 2-3 times as much in France as in Spain, but expect French hospitality to more than make up for the cost.I just cycled 1,300km from Pamplona to Santiago to Lisbon.
