    From Barcelona to Burgos

    Hi all! I took a night bus from Barcelona to Burgos. It was not expensive and not crowded. I had to seats to myself and slept like a baby. You can search at google for autobus barcelona burgos horarios, and I guess you will find out the proper time schedule. Buen Camino Liv

    Jewels of the Camino

    Hi, Sillydoll. Now it's a little bit over a year since I arrived in Santiago after my pilgrimage. Today, I suddenly felt an urge and a strong longing back to the Camino. Whenever I closed my eyes, I wanted to be back there on the track. I opened the pages of this forum, opened your post, and...

    drain plug, guidebooks, soap, ear plug and knife...

    Hi all !! About use of watch : Yes I know that a part of the camino is turning your back to the time-pressure we have at home. BUT, as one who managed to get lost in a discussion at a dinner table and got back to a locked door at the refugio, a watch would have been a good thing..... :D...

    Sleeping bag vs. Bag liner

    Hi, Jesse Bob. I walked the camino last year, in september. I brought a silk liner and a fleece sleepingbag, to secure both warm and cold nights. I thought. I ended up freezing quite many nights, despite the fact that I used both bags almost every night. Most albergues have woolen blankets...

    Poncho vs "rain suit" in May/June?

    Mine, too, of course.... Though even in Norway I havn't seen this paclite at that cost..... Spursfan is right, and I didn't buy the jacket and trousers only to use on the camino. I walk in the countryside every day, so to speak, so of course the rain-set come in handy both before and after...

    drinking water

    Hi ! Bottled water is easy to find along the way. I bought some quite often. Supporting the local economy, and being generally sceptic about tapped water. Besides, you you use the same bottle for too long, it becomes quite dirty. But the times I used water from taps along the way, wheter it...

    Poncho vs "rain suit" in May/June?

    Hi I brought a lightweight gore-tex suit, a Norwegian brand called Norrona. I will never bring a poncho. I walked in it in all of Galicia, and I was never damp inside. It was perfect. I had rain every day for almost 14 days, and a lot of wind, and I felt sorry for soaking wet people...

    Nailclippers? Deodorant? Floss?

    DO bring sunglasses! As necessary as a hat for the sun! I brought mascara ( a human right ), hairbrush and moisturizer for my face with solar screen. When I came to Leon I felt so much as a smellegrino compared to regular people, that I even bought a little bottle of perfumish...

    Camino Ingles may 2007

    Hi all pilgrims ! I am hooked ! I did the Camino Frances last year, and though I do not get as long time off work this year, I still would like to walk. I have decided on the Camino Ingles, going with a friend this time. I would like any good information you have about this camino...

    Boots / Jacket

    Hola ! I must say that I envy you to go on the amazing trip. I completed the camino in october, and I am longing back all the time ! I used ECCO hiking shoes that went over my ankles. They were good in both 40 degrees on the meseta and 6 degrees and rain on o cebreiro. They were soft...

    uses for a walking stick

    Hi all ! Funny uses for sticks, you guys !!! I had a good laugh. Well, I did not bring a stick - or two - and no stick found me along the way. I never missed them either. I borrowed one or two for a very short time, but it didn't work for me. I met people who were very glad they had their...

    Water-Resistant or Not?

    Hi all In september, I had gore-tex ECCO shoes, cool-max liner socks and thin woolen socks on top. I walked in 40 degrees on the meseta, and in 6 degrees and rainstorm on o cebreiro. In fact, a lot of rain in all of Galicia. I had dry feet, not too warm - and no blisters ! Wet feet =...

    Coelho translated to Norwegian

    At least I now can be able to understand that book :) And than improve in my opinion. I know we have our different view about Coelho, but since I liked many of his other books, I will give this book a chance, too. How was India, by the way. Liv :D

    Camino Trash

    I absolutely agree with Trudy. There is NO excuse for throwing away rubbish along the way, or at the top on alredy full - and "leaking" - rubbish containers. :evil: Everybody must be responsible for their own rubbish. The world will never be a better place to live as long as people throw...

    Coelho translated to Norwegian

    Takk, Ivar ! Det var på tide ! Whether Coelho was a true pilgrim or not, only himself can tell. But, a bus to Santiago from O'cebreiro do not disqualify anyone from being a true pilgrim. Who sets the standards ? I think the most important thing is the pilgrimage you do in your heart...
