    LIVE from the Camino Knee flare up and no room at the inn. Coastal rt

    Be careful using Voltaren Forte cream and taking pills like Advil. It is like double dosing with pain killers.

    Lodging in Hornillos de Camino?

    I have stayed at all 3 and they are all much better than the basement of the municipal where I have also spent a night.

    Your Train L54 of 15/09 to SAINT-JEAN-PIED-DE-PORT is Cancelled

    The only hope is the bus drivers are Basque and could give a hoot about what a French labor union tells them what to do.

    Your Train L54 of 15/09 to SAINT-JEAN-PIED-DE-PORT is Cancelled

    OMG Tinc, I think you are going way out on a very dodgy limb with something as imperative as "There WILL be a replacement bus." We are talking about the vicissitudes of the SNCF and their relationship with their mutable labor union the CGT.

    Subsistence in SJPDP

    There are a number of shops on the main "pilgrim route" walking out of town after you cross the bridge heading west. They are open on Sunday for the tourist trade and open early in the morning to offer freshly baked baguettes and will prepare sandwiches for you as well. I suspect the Lidl store...

    Lodging in Hornillos de Camino?

    There are other places to stay in Hornillos. Meeting Point is just across the street and offers the same lodging options. Abuelo has a small family run cafe, but there are alternative places to eat in town.

    If you get lost on the trail answer your phone!

    Starting tomorrow 13th Sep 2024 in SJPDP!

    Wow, incredibly insightful. I never made the connection between the old and new calendar dating back to 1300 until just now. I seem to remember there is church on the Left Bank in Paris, Saint-Sulpice??, that has some mysterious connection to the Templars and a conspiracy to change the Gregorian...

    Rucksack transfer

    Basically, that being said I can't say with certainty that every single albergue on the Camino is connect to a delivery service. For instance, I served at San Anton and we did not do baggage.

    Rucksack transfer

    No problem. There are several services and depending on the albergue where you stay, there maybe a preferred service they use. You simply fill out a form on a pre-printed envelope, deposit the required fee (5+ euros) inside and your bag will magically appear at the destination. Caveat, make sure...

    Private accommodations, so a towel is not necessary but a small quick dry one might come in handy on a rainy day.
