Guys
I have done a Camino most years for the last 10. Some experience of the below to share
My mate and I will try each ATM in a town, there is generally one that will give cash with no fee. It is a 30sec job as you walk pass one.
Also if you are paying with a non-EU card make sure that the...
Yes you can, it is choice, I chop and change, prefering to go with adventure generally, but I have an idea there is a slightly different Compostella for the relegious choosers.
Meaning no disrespect to the rules of the game, I have never bothered with the 2 stamps per day in the last 100kms either. So my stamps have fitted.
I have always walked full 3-5 week caminos (excepting the English a couple of times) so I really think it obvious that I am unlikely to have...
I went back to find one I left next day a few years back and they had a cupboard full, worth asking before buying. Offer a donation as they are a charity!
Worth a try.
No the Canfranc hostel was closed or something. We walked through as nothing was open.
But the conversation seems familiar....
11 and 12 of October I think we were in Canfranc de Estacion in the hostel down the hill a bit on the river.
Yup.
We only did the week as we were passing, was great. Was fine, a couple of the group I met went onward to SdC and had a ball.
I was just expressing the suddenness of 8 in a hostel compared to 95!! All is good.
Invierno next!
Buen Camino
I walked the Camino Aragones from Le Somport to Puente La Reina in October, was lovely, very quiet, met a nice group, 6 days, recommended.
Was a people shock hitting the Camino Frances though I have done that several times, makes you think!!
I always take a metal (unbreakable and weighs little) hanger so if the washing lines are full my shirt and shorts can hang and dry on the end of the bed, door handle or wherever.
Why do you need Crocs in the shower?
Hiking sandals are great to change into after the long part of the day to allow the feet to dry out and relax the last 5-10kms of the day, with or without socks and they are fine in the evening, no crocs req.
Just a thought that I like to have an hour of music music some days and some non-talk alone time even when walking with friends, old or new. Chargeable earbuds use more power than the plug-in versions I think, needing bluetooth. And more easily lost!
Maybe I am overthinking it seeing them on...
I have had a couple of Easters on the walk, the Spanish people take get out on the tracke for a week or so all along, which is great for a more local interaction but accommodation does get a little more well used so worth getting in earlier or holding a bed ahead.
