I’m traveling VERY last minute and had to book my flight from Washington, DC less than a week away. My biggest tip is to check out Ryanair.com for other options beyond Madrid and Paris. I’m saving a few hundred dollars by flying into Dublin and taking a cheap ($20) flight from Dublin to Biarritz.
Also, this is a last minute decision for me and have NO IDEA what I’m doing! I’ve hiked twice before but only in the summertime and haven’t wven begun to pack (or train 😬🤦🏼♀️😂).
Hi there! Leaving from DC to Dublin, Dublin to Biarritz this Sat (Oct 8th) and hopefully starting my Camino from SJPP on Sunday. Is anyone else starting their Camino around the same time?
Hi there! Very long story short, I'm starting my Camino in less than a week (with essentially zero prep- trust me, I know!!!) and despite being my 3rd Camino have NO IDEA what to pack for October /November on the Frances. I expect to take 35-40 days to veto Santiago and Muxia, leaving on Oct...
I just bought the same pack and for those researching bags, I'd like to recommend not just immediately going for the most lightweight. Although Ultra Lightweight is pursued with an almost cult like passion around here (and for good reason!), it's also incredibly important to know - and be...
Hi Philippe,

Do you think that's feasible...
I'm a huge fan of slow and steady (and took 40 days on my last Camino) - but given the days in travel, I'm hoping to begin in SJPP as soon as possible after I land in Paris on the 12th. :)
Hello Peregrinos,
I'm sorting out my final logistics and trying to determine if it's possible to take the first bus out from Bayonne at 7:45am and still make it to Roncevalles that night. (I'm trying to make it to Santiago by my birthday, so attempting to get started as quickly as possible and...
Thanks for the great information! Does anyone know how long it takes to get from Paris to Bayonne to SJPP? If I left early in the am on Sunday, could I get there by Sunday night?
Buen Camino!
Renee
Hello fellow Peregrinos,
I'm flying into Paris from Washington, DC on Saturday at 3pm and trying to figure out how to get to SJPP as quickly, cheaply and easily as possible. Any chance I could get there on the same day or do I need to factor in a rest day in Bordeaux or Bayonne? Want to start...
