    starting at SJJP 2nd or 3rd week of August

    I'm planning to start with my sister and brother in law from SJPP on the 22nd of August. We're hoping this will get us ahead of the September rush.

    Favourite Socks

    For those of you that put Vaseline or other lube type products on your feet, do you put it all over (top and bottom of feet and between the toes), or just on certain parts? I use bag balm (made for cows udders, yes I know, kind of weird, but I live in a rural area and it's pretty popular for...

    Walking with headphones?

    I haven't walked my Camino yet, but plan to use earbuds. I usually listen to music with earbuds while walking (or doing anything else for that matter). I have no problem pulling them out to talk to people if the opportunity arises, but unless I am talking with anotber walker, I usually walk at...

    25 km per day?

    Not everyone can take the time to walk a slow Camino. With travel time, the Frances will have me away from home for about six weeks.

    Aug/Sep on the CF

    I hope to start in SJPP on the 22nd of August, hopefully that will be early enough to beat some of the September rush.

    Ordering beer in Spain

    I don't expect to see any in small towns, but hope to find some in the larger cities. I'll definitely watch for it! When it's hot out, just about any beer will do, but I really enjoy a good dark beer from time to time. Although I'm not a wine drinker, I suppose that may change after spending...

    Ordering beer in Spain

    Ok, we have sizes figured out, I like dark beer, do I order an oscuro? Or is dark beer not availible in Spain?

    Bus from Pamplona to SJDPP?

    Does that bus fill up? Would you need to book ahead to get a seat? I fly standby, so I can't usually book things ahead since there are times that I have to adjust my schedule based on seat availability. I will be traveling around the 21st of August

    The Galicia Pilgrim Rail Pass

    Thanks, that's what I was afraid of, the map from the link doesn't really show what's included ( Galicia boundries).

    The Galicia Pilgrim Rail Pass

    Thanks for the post! I looked at the site, am I correct in thinking that this pass could be used to get from Santiago to Madrid after I finish my Camino?

    Food to bring to Spanish friend from US

    I too usually carry some butterscotch candies when I walk, guess I'll have to bring a bag from home, I figured they would be easy to find along the way.

    Paris Accommodation

    Pelerina and CWBuff, thanks for the info. I guess I didn't read enough of the Adveniat web site to see that they accepted bags all day.

    Paris Accommodation

    I see they don't open until 1600, my flight will probably arrive around 0800, do you know if there anywhere nearby that a person could store their bag during the day so you don't have to carry it while sightseeing?

    Listening to music while on the camino

    I haven't done my camino yet, but usually listen to music or a podcast while walking. I normally walk alone, but gladly give up my music when walking with someone else. Here in the states I usually listen to Pandora, is there a similar service available in Spain (I will be walking the Frances)?

    Muxia or Finisterre First?

    Thanks, I was just hoping someone may have expierence with this route. I was looking at Rome to Rio, but didn't look at the specifics (that will teach me to just assume it is a easier route), it looks like the flight went to Madrid first, so no gain there. I guess I will plan on Madrid being my...
