    LIVE from the Camino Invierno June 2024

    Ah, Peter, remember this is Galicia. The varied heights of the markers are obviously to maintain useable way marking no matter the height of the flooding or the depth of the fog

    Ride share Taxi from Santiago aeroport to Sarria JULY 1st 2024

    Hi saraE: welcome to the forum. You may get lucky and find someone to share that taxi, perhaps someone on your flight. There are, less expensive, ways to get to Sarria or at least Lugo but, meanwhile a couple of questions. Is 16:30 your flight landing time or your cleared Border Control...

    Train or bus from Pamplona to San Sebastian

    How far in advance are you trying to book? Anything over a month is too far ahead

    Private rooms availability?

    Would love what? The listings are available on the apps and websites cited. If you’d like @ian&linda ’s list you could pm them and I’m sure they’ll oblige.

    Kilometre markers

    They are known as Mojones: not a far step in the evolution of language from Mahone as in pogue mahone. There actual purpose escapes me but I guess they’re an excellent method of using up an embarrassing surplus of faux marble and scrap bronze while appearing to do something useful. It’s the...

    The Camino does NOT start in StJpdP - discuss

    Wow! This thread back again? Lovely. For Friends of Alice; those who enjoy rabbit holes, and for those who think that perhaps the Camino Frances isn't just a walk in the Spanish countryside.... I recommend it and as for: "The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there"...

    Booking Orisson and Roncesvalles

    I've never done other. Climbing a stupid hill just to climb down it again was reserved for my mountaineering days ;)

    Bike wrapping for train from Santiago to Ferrol.

    You can click through on the Cercanias pages and get a ticket to Ferrol on a Cercanias train. As I recall the Alvia comes from Madrid heading for A Coruna. Other trains are available.... You would normally be able to take a bike on the direct route but because of the "works" between Ourense and...

    Bike wrapping for train from Santiago to Ferrol.

    Hmm, great question! You should not need to wrap your bike if you are travelling on Cercanias (Commuter / local) trains. The journey SdC to Ferrol is on Cercanias and the whole of the FEVE network is classified as Cercanias. Info here...

    Booking Orisson and Roncesvalles

    Where’s the problem? All you have to do is identify a suitable property; buy it; get all the necessary permits, licenses, power, water and sewerage; modernise and out-fit it; arrange staffing, catering, website and booking systems. Avoid any dodgy reviews on all the usual sites and be...

    Transportation Question

    There will be trains, and buses, but timetables will not be published yet (though they seldom change) and tickets for September will be offered for sale in August

    Boat from Villanova de Arousa to Padron & Compostela

    Yes. No Edit: The boat journey counts towards the Pilgrimage Performance Certificate or Compostela

    2 Stamps per day

    Any Guardia Civil Post and all Policia Nacional and/ Local will have a sello All you need is sufficient Spanish and the cojones to stick your head in the door and ask for one 😉

    Ride share Taxi Roncesvalles to SJPdP on Oct 14 2024

    It’s doesn’t start in France, or rather it didn’t when it started. The name has nothing to do with the starting point. If it did it would be the Camino de St Jean which would probably confuse even more people. Or even, possibly, the Camino CDG & SNCF. The Frances tag possibly derives from...

    Google Translate?

    Actually, the nearest equivalent in English is: "Mind how you go". ;)

    A call for regulation or permit on the Francés

    Capitalization at the beginning of a sentence? Or, perhaps, a reference to that ritualized song form popular in the Southern Baptist church? Edit: the musical indication is the only noun form I can find.

    Ride share Taxi Roncesvalles to SJPdP on Oct 14 2024

    There is no bus station at Roncesvalles. Just a bus stop. There is only the Albergue a couple of hotels and a few private houses. Any taxi will need to have been pre-booked. There are a few local drivers and a godgle search for Taxi Roncesvalles should give you some hits.

    Atapuerca archaeological site

    MEH will provide fabulous insights into the discoveries at Atapuerca, though you’ll probably still need a good translation app on your phone to get the details. The Atapuerca site provides, provided me with, a profound sense of “place” and an understanding of that landscape at that time. The...

    Linking the Norte to the San Salvador

    Peter, one possibility is the Olvidado from Bilbao which intersects the Salvador at La Robla. Happy researching!!
