I do not want to one-up my friend Laurie, but in 2017 I walked numerous Caminos for nearly 3 months. I was living in Biarritz at the time and could go any time I wanted. In addition to my walking I also volunteered at San Anton for two weeks, I wish I had kept a log of how many k's I did that...
Dave, bon courage.
I didn't want to write a long winded response but decided to add my 2 cents worth. I had a Medtronic pacemaker installed about six months after a triple bypass in 2021, due to an afib issue. It has been seamless to date. It was an emergency surgery so there was no time for...
Miam Miam Dodo is a great guide book. Reservations are recommended, remember lots of French hikers do this route for short vacations, long weekends and over holiday periods. Bastille Day is in July. I took the train from Gare Lyon in Paris. I believe you can obtain a credential at the cathedral...

"**it happens" and I hope you had a great meal on the segundo dia. Thank God in Portugal, Sunday says something about our Lord and Monday is Segunda Feira or we would all be lost about calendar days.
The final year that I truly enjoyed the Camino experience was in 2017. I was still living in Biarritz at the time and hopscotched from one Camino to another for 90 days, I also volunteered for several weeks at San Anton. I think avoiding the bottlenecks and traffic takes some previous experience...
I have noticed this offer and other "freebies" have been popping up recently on every reservation I have booked with them. I suspect it is promotional gimmick they beta testing. I hope it works out for you.
