First camino March 2020

[Donna kebab]

Hi all, I will start my first camino on March 21st. After longing to do this for 30 years! I read on pilgram site that the route from St Jean du Pied du Port to Roncesville was closed but was wondering if this referred to the high route only, which I wasn't intending on doing anyway. Can somebody please advise, otherwise I may start in Pamplona

Welcome Donna. This closure is for the Napoleon route only.
Buen Camino.

Thank you, I thought as much, wouldn't seem right not starting in St Jean for my first camino!

 

[MaineSally]

Wishing you well Donna. Buen Camino!

I would check with my airline if you are an American. You may not be going anywhere from the US this month.

You can hover (desktop) or tap (mobile) over/on her name and see that she is Australian.

Not one of my greatest skills. But I did like the name "kinda sounds like" donner kebab. On of my favorite late night noshes.

Even non-Americans may be affected by cancellations--the increasing number in Spain, that is. Check with the other threads at this forum for continually updated information. There are even hints (and not just here) that Madrid-Barojas may close.

The name is based on that, a nickname I was given many years ago. Aust govt now advising against any international travel and 2 weeks self quarantine on return but that may change by tomorrow! On the bright side I was able to buy toilet paper today! Not sure if you're aware but hoarders have been buying it out for weeks now

I will now very sadly report that I will be delaying my camino journey until later this year hopefully when covid is not so dangerous, I have waited 30 years so a few more months won't matter. This was timed to celebrate 5 years since being diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma, maybe the later time will coincide with 5 years of being cleared. Sometimes things happen for reasons beyond us all. Buenos suerte todo peregrines.

Hi Donna,
Will you be able to go this year, perhaps?
