Hello earthlings,
I'm planning to start my walk in about 2weeks time from Biarritz then walk south south east to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, then from there walk the Camino Francés.
Im not fluent but am decent(/passable) at both French and Spanish, relitively healthy, and head strong.
Ive looked through the threads but cannot find an 'A-Z' and furthermore would love a bit of advice.
First and foremost are there albergues every 20km(a days) walk or so, or will i need a biverwhack/tent? If there are albergues how much will they be a night and what do they provide?
Secondly is there a suggested route (camino Francés); and by that i mean down to the road, path or trail; that i would be able to follow on a map (ordinance survey or similar (what is good and would cover the walk))?
Third and finally, I have gear in all shaped and sizes, but what should i bring, and what should i not?
Third and finally part ii; is there anything ive missed out and should think about/ you think i should know (do i really need credencials/pilgrims passport(can i get it in Biarritz/Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port).
Many thanks, im really looking forward to the responses and the next few months.
Regards E.
