    current status of albergue bed availability on CDN

    In Spanish I think it is "credencial". In French, "credential": could we use this term in English, too ?

    Maybe a little late with my planning for le Puy...

    Yes indeed it is, but in July a light rain clothe should be sufficient. I do not understand what you mean exactly by "secular". Grand Séminaire Accueil St Georges is not exactly "secular" because it is ran by religious. But you will not asked your religion, and not forced to anything. For me it...

    current status of albergue bed availability on CDN

    Salvadorana, Saturday/sunday

    The cathedral should deliver a Salavadorana even during Pentecost: just try to avoid masses times.

    Where to start past Le Puy to save 4-6 days

    It would be a pity to miss Le Puy-Conques ! I advice to skip these days elsewhere. 1st solution (but I do not know about public transport avaibility): try to find a bus after the Cele, may be in St Cirq-Lapopie or Cabrerets, then go to Cahors by bus, then to Moissac or Lectoure by train or bus...

    Camino Verde from Primitivo ..

    Rather Lugo-Friol-Sobrado-Arzua-O Pedrouzo-Santiago. Take care not arriving too late in Sobrado if you plan to sleep in the monastery: there can be a huge queue when the Norte is crowded.

    Dual Pilgrimage

    In any case, congratulations for this dual pilgrimage ! I hope you will get your dual Compostela, and please tell us a bit about this Kumano Kodo way (accommodation, cost, sceneries...).

    Camino Verde from Primitivo ..

    Nothing important to add. Casa Benigno in Friol is the only accomodation I found last summer. Friol is a nice town. Nice camino, especially on the first day. Be careful that dogs met on this camino are not used to pilgrims as they are on main caminos. Buen Camino !

    Is Novellana on this route? I’m walking from Santiago to Muxía and then on to Finesterre.

    I am afraid not: it is about 300 km from Muxia...

    Medication woes

    My advice is to transfer liquids from glass bottles to small plastic cruets, in order to get a not so heavy backpack.

    Alternatives to walking if injured

    In the Tourism Office of Burgos, you will find some help in english. Perhaps also in the municipal next to the cathedral.

    Re: Current Lunch Prices

    Indeed, making the whole world believe that, apart from water, our french overrated wines are the only allowed beverage, is a good thing. Our wine growers need to sell their bottles... In France it used to be not acceptable to drink anything before finishing the soup. My grandmother said in...

    Re: Current Lunch Prices

    In France this is also mandatory. If the waiter asks you "Plate ou gazeuse ?", answer "carafe !". It is the way to get free water.

    How to decide how long to walk for

    My feeling is that the minimum is a week, because during the 3-4 first days you have not the benefit of walking, only the drawbacks. I consider that you need at least two weeks to disconnect. The maximum depends on your wishes, and the time left by your partner, your boss, your pet...

    Re: Current Lunch Prices

    It depends: - if you are pessimistic, half empty open bottles. - if you are optimistic, half full open bottles.

    Maybe a little late with my planning for le Puy...

    Because in France, many pilgrims do their Chemin part after part, namely by slices of 8-10 days. Le Puy-Conques is doable within this time, and it is the most famous/beautiful segment of Voie du Puy. Moreover, arrival at Conques is something magical. Therefore many pilgrims do only this part...
