    Questions about availability of facilities in November.

    (...) If you are terrified and have medical needs, perhaps you should not walk off-season. Could you review your planning and start in spring ?

    Question..Donativo/Muni albergues OR Private lodgings?

    I do not agree. Donativos do not cost less than private albergues: cleaning costs the same price, cooking also, welcoming also and so on... In order that they can welcome from time to time pilgrims who really cannot afford private accommodation (or even municipal albergues), we should go in...

    New rule reported: 2 stamps per day within Spain [awaiting confirmation]

    I do not think so. According to me, stamps have 2 functions: remembering good places to be, and proving you have done the Camino in order to get a Compostela. Even in a christian perspective, stamps have little to do with "the spirit of the walk". For instance, the donativo of Grañon, located...

    Is this crazy?

    From my first Camino I am learning "lâcher-prise" (let go). Be confident and buen camino !

    Burgos alternative route: download directions?

    You just need to download and install mapy.cz on your phone and to choose "outdoor" as the map type: the camion and its variants will appear in blue. You will have to turn left before the airport: https://en.mapy.cz/turisticka?q=burgos&source=osm&id=1007&ds=2&x=-3.6226659&y=42.3573430&z=14

    Please, do not consider donativos as cheaper

    "In 2014, Jean-Marc Lucien, who graciously received 700 to 800 pilgrims each year in St Privat d'Allier, was sued for unfair competition. The person concerned was acquitted in 2016 but was forced to close his cottage and move. "I was receiving threats and my car's tires were constantly...

    Accommodation availability on the Primitivo

    I walked the Primitivo alone on July 2024. I never have booked, the only town where I needed to search was Grado. Perhaps before joining the Francés you should book in Arzua and/or O Pedrouzo.
