GGrousedoctor replied to the thread Is there a good backpack with daypack combo idea?.Burgos to Astorga is a wonderful section of the CF. I loved walking across the Meseta!

GGrousedoctor replied to the thread Possible daily cost of Camino Frances, single traveler, 9/2024.Your biggest daily expense, which will come as no surprise, will be your nightly accommodations.
