    Can you reserve Albergue parroquial San Juan Bautista in Grañón in advance?

    Overflow on a rainy day in June 2023 meant that I "slept" in the choir loft with 6 others. Wrestling mats, although I think mats in the normal areas are softer.

    Poles have failed - help!

    Some of the albergues or larger hostels may have a "Left & Found." If you have time you might consider approaching the reception of one or two and asking about what poles they have (if you want to replace the one you can't fix) -- they may want to get rid of extra poles or they keep them for...

    numbers on the Frances

    I checked in to Roncesvalles Friday night (May 26) at 19:30 and there were 21 beds remaining between the main (?) place and a second building. But it was the start of a weekend, so perhaps numbers were that much higher, as has been explained in other posts. Saturday night May 27 in Larrasoaña I...

    Dimensions of Camino Passport

    100% wasserdicht! Ha. This post comes right when I needed it. Cool stuff, and they know how to market it -- showing the things for each size that we would want to keep dry. Hmm, doesn't seem to ship to USA. I can work on that.

    Advice on itinerary please

    Hi @magarac - I usually check the multi-city to see if I can return from an airport closer to where I end up (SdC in this case), but my response didn't take that into account. Just tried Multi-City and it seems Iberia has an SCQ to SFO via MAD; coupled with the SFO to MAD nonstop, the price is...

    Advice on itinerary please

    If you were to ask "Surely there are others coming from SFO and what are the thinking of doing?" I would be one of those people flying from SFO. I'll speak to my flight strategy to Spain/France since yours seems like an ordeal. May departure for me. And my first Camino also. I use kayak.com...

    Ear pod recommendations

    On the wired side, I've always liked SkullCandy. You may notice pictures that look the same but one is more expensive - the cheaper one probably just has a microphone on one side, but the more expensive one has the microphone AND mute button AND you can answer calls with the push of a button ...

    finding cheap flights

    If you are browsing for a flight, and not necessarily buying (or even when you will buy if you find something good), I would recommend "private browsing" or "incognito window" on your browser. This will prevent cookies and trackers from slowly upping the prices because "they" know you desire...

    Packing List : Food - What food/nutritional items are in your bag, when you leave home ?

    I have a friend who loves her cold water, so she freezes her water bottle (yes, open it prior and drink some off) and presents this bottle through screening. Careful, though, if there's any melted water, it will be judged by the 3 oz rule. So just drink that melted water and screw the cap back on.
