Frances ( 2017, 2018,Aug 2023) Vdlp (2018)
I will be in SJPP this Friday night. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good place to eat dinner?

I am booked into orisson the next night so can enjoy a good late meal without worrying about an early start. I am sure that any excess calories will be burnt off walking.
Cheers
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
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.
Restaurant Oillarburu - almost built into the old town walls and on the little street at right angles to the church. Good local food and not too expensive. If it is of any interest to you it is also where the first restaurant scene in the movie "The Way" was filmed.
O my goodness! Thank you for that reference to the film, The Way.

Great Caesar's ghost! You're absolutely right! This's where Tom first met the Dutchman! Thank you for pointing that out. I had no idea!

I actually ate there last May, and never make the connection! (Good food, btw.) Now I gotta go back to SJPdeP!
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
Another vote for the Bar Brasserie du Trinquet, 7 Place du Trinquet. I've eaten there several times. More popular with locals than pelerins, and very good value.
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-
I highly recommend the albergue Beilari. They have a fantastic communal dinner that is the perfect kickoff to a Camino. You'd better reserve now though. They do get booked up.
You know why the pilgrim tomnorth liked Beilari? Because he met me there!!!!! And now we are friends for life!!!! He is 100% right about Beilari! It's the perfect place to begin your Camino. The dinner Tom and I shared with other pilgrims was just wonderful!
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.

Buen Camino Lyle!
 
Beilari has my vote too! I have stayed there on 3 caminos and it was a wonderful family atmosphere with great vegetarian food. They will cater gluten free if notified in advance.
