    Alert Flooding between Accous and Somport - Path closed

    I'm not sure exactly where the landslide occurred, but the official route completely avoids the main road south of Urdos, and it looks like if you can get to the other side of the Gave over either of the two bridges at Urdos, else by not crossing the main road bridge north of the bourg but going...

    Types of Compostela Certificates

    It was still available there in the beginning of August this year.

    Deactivating 'download' icon

    OK I've just checked on another forum that uses the same software. For boring reasons that bore even me I don't think I'm wrong per se, but you are still completely right. It's this forum software.

    Camino Planning with Chat GPT - Hmmmm

    Don't think I'm the one to answer that really, as I have a background combining advanced literary studies with professional IT ... so this stuff just looks blatantly artificial to my eyes.

    Which month is best to go - May or Oct?

    30 days ? I'd say 15th June or so, as the only period in the good weather season when Sarria to Santiago is not insanely crowded is the first half of July.

    Absolutely terrified to start

    Absolutely terrified to start

    I'd say make your way to Pamplona, and then dump whatever you've taken that's inappropriate, and acquire whatever you're missing. So get there on Tuesday to Friday, when all the shops should be open. My first few Caminos I hadn't a clue what to bring, but I eventually learned. But still, bring...

    Fires in Spain

    Most of the fires this year seem to have been either nowhere near any Camino route or near some very tertiary routes trod by a dozen or fewer pilgrims in any given year.

    Pilgrimage in the US?

    What is "authenticity" ? Prior to about 1965, the Way of Saint James provided no such luxuries but pilgrims had to make do with what they could find, not excluding spots to sleep outdoors. Some of us are still forced into such arrangements. The Camino is a pilgrimage -- not a relay track...

    Abandoned elderly pilgrims

    That's mostly daily hiking speed not metres per minute -- though clearly if there's someone in your group who's having difficulties, one in the group should hang back and take care or at least ensure the other is doing OK. When I was a fast walker, in the groups I've been in that would be me --...

    Day 405 +52 -- Church -- Consummatum Est Well, it turned out to be a somewhat harder but also more interesting last day than expected. I woke up with some pretty bad pain in my ankle, I must have twisted it somehow ; it's not a sprain, just a bad variant of the normal pain there. So it was...

    Detailed Planning for Viejo/Olvidado from Pamplona

    According to the 1990s French & Spanish IGN map of historical Camino routes, that one leads down to Frómista (probably via Aguilar de Campoo -- it's a map of Europe so lacking in fine detail).

    Detailed Planning for Viejo/Olvidado from Pamplona

    A bit off-topic sorry -- but whilst the route shown for El Viejo Camino on this map looks solid enough, its depiction of the Roman roads in northern Spain is laughably incorrect, and some of the very old Camino routes in those regions are mysteriously absent -- and that cannot be at all helpful...

    Subsistence in SJPDP
