    If I chose to walk primitivo, where would I fly into - to start at Oviedo?

    September Camino 2024

    Certainly lots to consider with information I will consider. I knew this forum would not only motivate me but as always, offer experience, options and hope. Nancy Lee

    September Camino 2024

    Just today I decided taking 3 weeks this fall to ‘Walk the Path’ is just what I need. I completed Camino Frances September 2019 and after 4 years of transition, disappointments and some stagnation, it is time to get back on track. I plan to fly to Biarritz, train to SJPP and walk for one week...

    Most Dangerous stage on Camino Frances.?

    I agree - we left SJPP in our shorts - beautiful April day - by the time I got to roncesvalles, I was completely covered in snow. It was a very tricky hike straight up. Nancy 🇨🇦

    Camino through the Pyrenees

    I walked from STPDP to Roncessvilles in a day and the weather did change (in April). It was shorts’ weather by mid day and white-out snow by the time I arrived (alone). Prepare for the worst and enjoy whatever Mother Nature offers! Buen Camino Btw - we know winter! ❄️ NancyLee Canada 🇨🇦

    Accomodation St. Jean Pied de Port

    Accomodation St. Jean Pied de Port

    Sitting in the train station in Bayonne, a kind fellow pilgrim introduced himself and asked where I plan to stay that night (in SJPP) in April of 2018. As I hadn’t made any arrangements, he made a call and I was welcomed there, enjoyed a lovely ‘launching’ communal dinner, evening and rest. We...

    First timer

    To the Smallest Sparrow, fly to Birritz, bus to Barrone and train to SJPDP. I agree with your comments regarding the unexpected expenses being in Covid times however my first Camino was cut short after 7 days due to injury and travel back to Canada being forced into a wheelchair was devastating...

    Starting my camino frances on 28th of may!

    I, too ran out of water on way to roncesvalle. When I left SJPP it was hot and sunny, once on Pyrenees, freezing rain, then snow!⛄️ I ended up melting snow to drink. But those are the wonderful challenges of the Camino! I hope you can travel there safely and embrace all the amazing...

    Newbie - setting off from Roncesvalles 2nd Sept

    I also walked a year ago and weather was lovely and number of pilgrims very high. I was #682 to get my Compostela in Santiago and also had to wait an extra day to get the train to Barcelona. Had hoped to spend the weekend there before flying home to Canada 🇨🇦. Everyone has their own time and...

    Burgos

    Last September I completed my Camino Francés and have such fond memories of Burgos. My mates stayed in a tiny hotel suite while I chose the third floor of a church that was lovely (in the square). We were cold and we purchased tights for €6 euros so we could enjoy the bustle of the city at...

    SJPDP to Orisson?

    Where you buy outdoor equipment, clothing. I bought gaters to keep my pant legs and boots dry.

    Common Question: Days to walk SJPP to Santiago

    Bag, poles, poncho and shoes. Our motto when walking Camino frances last fall was ‘my Camino, my way’. Buen Camino Nancy from Winnipeg 🇨🇦

    SJPDP to Orisson?

    The day I visited the outdoor store in St Jean I was served by a lady from Montreal. I believe she is the owner. Being a Canadian, that was a good start for me and yes, found prices reasonable. On day 1, I walked to Roncevalles. The day started with beautiful sun, then rain, then snow...

    Camino Snobs

    This is definitely ‘a thing’ having just completed Camino Frances in September. A few of us adopted a saying ‘My Camino, My Way’ much like Donaldclive alluded to. Too many assumptions- did you ever hear that assume means ‘ass (out of) you and me’? I started in Logrono this time and you...

    Stress with finding accommodation

    On my Camino Frances in September of this year, it was easy to get accommodations until Sarria - then I used booking.com every night after that to Santiago. Because I was on a timeline I didn’t have the flexibility of deviation from my Brierley daily routes. However, I tried to be ‘open to the...

    Lost from Leon

    In March, 2018 I started the Camino Frances and on day 7, was forced to suspend my journey with an injury. I could not walk then, and 3 weeks’ subsequent to returning home. It was devastating. Happily I returned to Logrono on sept 1 and began where I left off the next day. I make no excuses...

    SJPP is Packed with Pilgrims.

    Currently in Mansilla. We have been booking ahead as albergues are filling up. Our goal tomorrow is León, so most definitely booked. Also wanted to note that we are a cross section of ages in this current ‘stream/parade’ of Peregrinos. Weather has been hot last couple days so we start...

    Thiefs on Camino Francés - warning

    Very sad story as I just crawled into my bed in Divina Pastora in Burgos. Will keep watch and alert my walking mates, NancyLee
