    Starting SJPDP

    An overnight if there are vacancies, the walk across the mountain is demanding and breaking the journey before Roncesvalles is worth considering.

    Starting SJPDP

    Be careful of the mountain weather, you are looking at an 8 hour walk, if the weather is poor, stay on the road, if you decide to walk the mountain, consider resting in Orisson. Take care of yourself and Buen Camino

    Vaseline in Spain?

    Try Vick's vapour rub (usually for chests) to soothe feet, apply at night before bed. NOT NOT for blisters, though, or where there are open or weeping wounds on feet,

    Stops

    To avoid the hard, confusing streets in Porto I took the metro purple line to Matosinhos (about 20 mins) and began my walk from there to Vila do Conde. So first stop Vila do Conde.

    Pilgrims Behaving Badly - Is the Camino Frances full?

    Every year I hear about this kind of behaviour. It seems that for some the Camino is no longer a respected sacred pilgrimage..... just a long walk. It is always the few that ruins things for us all.

    starting thursday from san sebastian

    If you intend to reach Santiago eventually on a later trip, start your walk in San Sebastian. I walked the northern Camino a few years ago and I had no trouble finding a bed for the night on any of the stages. For peace of mind book a hotel in advance. To walk into an albergue you will need a...

    Brierley's Map Book of the Camino Frances - Very Light

    Heavens....toilet paper, tearing out pages........Brierley guides are sacred texts in my universe. I'm trying to imagine how desperate that pilgrim must have felt. "Darling, do you have any tissues..."? No! "Quick, throw me the Brierley Guide....Santiago can't be that far away". Buen Camino!
