      I agree. I've stayed in Roncesvalles albergue two out of my three times on that stretch, and rather missed it the other two times. As far as dinner goes, the food was nothing special, but the company of other pilgrims was. 😊

      just my 2 cents: if you never been to Roncesvalles: do it! Experience it! I walked the CF in 2019 and I do think that i had missed something, if I didn't stayed there. Exceptional Mass, exceptional meal at the Hotel (you will be asked by the...

      Last year my brother and I did St Jean-Pied-de-Port - Orisson - Burguete, then always between the so called Brierley stages to Compostella de Santiago. No accommodation problems at all. Buen Camino 😎 🇪🇸🇳🇿

      A 2015 post I just found it was a plane or sycamore tree. Sycamore is of the plane family.

      I regret not reading Iberia earlier, however, it is never to late to read this marvelous tome, published in 1968. I just finished reading it, two years after beginning my Camino Frances. In Iberia Michener recounts his personal travel...

      Apparently numbers are up a lot this year. I find myself starting from Le Puy at the end of May - (but that’s another story). I am hearing that May is very busy there too with many gites booked out. Which can be very unsettling to hear...

      I hate to be THAT person but it seems that May is a really busy month on Le Puy…keep in mind that 85% of people walking Le Puy are French, that French people REALLY like hiking, and that there are multiple French national holidays in May… 😬

      I am sure you will be fine. For all of the drama I don't recall anyone has been left sleeping on the streets - yet. If you can, start your Camino on Mon/Tue/Wed/Thu and aim to miss the big cities/popular stops at weekends. And aim for the true...

      Is this the same all days of the week @Ianinam at Roncesvalles? Surely there is a spike with people starting at the weekends? It's disheartening to hear that those reserving are afforded better beds than walk-ins, I can only assume there is a...
