    Camino by Coach

    @trecile, if you are online please close this thread, it's gone so far off topic I've forgotten what the topic was and I've run out of popcorn. Think of the children.

    I wonder did the pilgrims of old bitch about the priests and bishops who went on pilgrimage by carriage and stayed with other clergy on the way, did they say that they weren't real pilgrims, just carriagearinos. :rolleyes:

    A pilgrimage is defined as a journey to a Holy place. There was nothing Holy about D Day or the beaches where it happened. It was more a journey of remembrance.

    Camino by Coach

    "A pilgrimage is a journey to a holy place, which can lead to a personal transformation, after which the pilgrim returns to their daily life." Nowhere in there does it say that you HAVE to walk. Do your own pilgrimage if you really want to and don't worry about how others do it is my advice.

    This is nothing new, saw it in 2012 and 2013, didn't like it at the time but I've lost some of my rough edges over time and now believe that a pilgrimage is a pilgrimage no matter how you achieve it. I saw the same in India some years ago, hundreds of pilgrims going on a pilgrimage of a...

    Rest day in SJPP?

    You are right, several hours is more like it unless you are short on time. I actually love SJPDP and have been there several times both walking and in the camper. I still think that on a choice between it and Pamplona for a rest day if you are time short I would still pick Pamplona.

    Rest day in SJPP?

    An hour in SJPDP is more than enough, Pamplona on the other hand is definitely worth a rest day.

    Type of bike for Camino Francés

    Sorry but a pedal assisted bike will not disqualify you as long as you do a minimum of 200k.

    Hiking Sandals on the Camino

    It depends on the time of year you are walking, early spring and winter I would recommend boots or walking shoes, summer and early autumn walking sandals or runners.

    Camino fatigue?

    Health reasons kept me from doing repeat caminos so the addiction faded, I still hiked in France and Spain but on my own terms and became a fair weather hiker. After seeing the conga lines on the Frances over the last few years I'd be slow to do another one.

    Travel to Saint Jean from Barcelona

    There is a bus service that runs between Pamplona and SJPDP or a shared taxi. The bus leaves at 12.00 every day as far as I know.

    I may have broken my leg! Pls help in Pontevedra!!!

    It's not a two tier system, if you need help you will get it whether you are a tourist or a local.

    Is 5 days in Finisterre a bad idea?

    Probably because Finisterre has a beach it had many stores selling tat, it is after all a seaside town. Muxia has several great restaurants down by the dock/marina, not sure about grocery shopping as it was our last few days we ate out and relaxed. Also some lovely walks in the area if you get...

    Is 5 days in Finisterre a bad idea?

    If I had the choice I would rather spend those rest days in Muxia, a much nicer town IMO. I found Finisterre too commercialized.
