    Best Way to Make Reservation for Three at Roncesvalles

    I’m taking two friends on their first Frances in September. We are “older” ladies and would prefer not to have top bunks. Ideally, I’d like to reserve three of the pods, but I know that you can’t specify the bed you’re reserving. Are my odds at getting pods better if I make three individual...

    ...be under 8 days, and each walking day should ideally be between 10-15 KM. The shorter walking distance is due to the fact that I am not in the best shape & don't want to hate the experience by overdoing. I will train for at least 6 months in advance, but I'm no athlete. The time of year will...
