    Being able to be flexible when conditions change (because they will!) is important on the Camino, and in life.

    I wish you every luck. But having walked the Frances a couple of times from St Jean…… I would agree with all the great advice here. Let me put it this way. With that plan and approach. My money is on you not making it past Burgos. Sorry. Even...

    You could just start your Camino from Pamplona as many do. Or you could take a taxi from Pamplona the day you arrive there rather than spending the night there. I know that it's expensive, but you can possibly find other pilgrims to share the...

    Why do you want to get to Roncesvalles the same day that you arrive to St Jean Pied de Port? Is it because you are on a tight schedule? If so, I suggest that you don't push yourself the first few days. Instead, wait until you have found your...

    Thank you. Going to get help and advice tomorrow. No farmacia on the way today. May take a taxi to Cee tomorrow and go to the local hospital for advice. Some of the bites look like they could possibly develop into cellulitis, so may need antibiotics.

    Amen! If you are one of those lucky people who has “never been bitten by a bed bug on a camino,” consider the possibility that you have in fact been bitten but have not had a reaction. When forum members dismiss the bed bug issues by calling us...

    That looks awful! One thing I've never been able to find out (not that it really matters) is whether each spot indicates one bite, or whether the allergic reaction from a few bites can cause many welts like that. Many people can get bitten and...

    Have you visited a farmacia? I have had a horrible encounter with bedbugs (in Iceland) and know how awful the itchiness is. I thought mine was bad but yours is definitely worse. Amazingly none of the 5 friends I was with found a single bite...
