  This October, I walked from Samos to Monforte de Lemons, to connect with the Invierno. It was about 35km, mostly on very quiet tracks with some stunning scenery, and it was one of my favourite days on the Camino. I will share the map here.

  No, I'd say SJPdP to Pamplona is where there are often "bottlenecks" at the beginning of May. Sarria to Santiago has more accommodations so can absorb more pilgrims. I would definitely reserve St Jean to Pamplona. And if you want to stay at...

  I know I’m odd but I cannot get my head around going for a walk by bus or by train. If I’m going for a walk I like to walk; from starting point to destination. If I have limited time I like to start from a point within reasonable walking...

  The OP could have been just a tad more accurate if they had pointed out that Spain has already imposed the new rules. They were imposed some time ago ( other threads passim). It’s the enforcement of those rules and the associated penalties for...

  It seems that after several pushbacks the new requirements come into force on December 2nd. Accomodation providers will be required to collect a raft of personal data from all guests. This will include financial information such as credit card...
