Does anyone know if the 816 bus from Hendaye to Bayonne runs on May 1? If so, how late does it run from Hendare gare? We arrive at San Sebastian airport at 5:55 pm. Thanks for any help.
Does anyone know of an established walking route from San Sebastian or Irun to Pamplona (for the purpose of connecting to the CF)? If so, is it waymarked with albergues? Thanks for any help.
I'm planning a May 2019 pilgrimage from SJPdP to Santiago. I'll be flying into Barcelona, taking a cheap flight to San Sebastian and then making my way to SJPdP. My thinking is to transit from San Sebastian airport to Hendaye, train from Hendaye to Bayonne, stay overnight in Bayonne, and then...
Hoping to walk my second camino in May 2019. Hoping to have my wife meet me in SdC. It will be our 40th wedding anniversary. Looking to treat ourselves to a week's vacation at some seaside village in Spain or Portugal. Any locations/hotels anyone can recommend?
I grew sick of albergues by the time I finished the Camino Frances in 2016. I made up these lyrics to the tune of “Long Tall Mama Blues" by Jimmy Rogers () while walking one day:
I been a-walkin' all over Spain
Ain't used a car, a bus, or a train
I've walked holes in both my hikin' shoes.

Loving Bruthah, Dearest Sistah
This mountain trail gave me a blistah
It's fullah horse crap
It's...

I've been giving some thought to trying to create a forum for Camino pilgrims who live in West Michigan (USA). I'd be interested in learning how others who have done something similar in their communities have approached the task. How did you develop your list of pilgrims to whom you could...
Just finished the Camino in Santiago de Compostela, and now plan to walk from Finesterre to Muxia. Is the route marked with the same yellow arrows as the French Way. Something different? Not at all? Thanks for any help you can provide about this route.

My friend and I plan to walk the CF beginning September 8 or so leaving from St Jean. We want to "ease" into the walk a bit and have decided to take the Valcarlos route over two days. I've read several threads about this route, with some indicating that the path is poorly marked and the trails...
A friend and I are hoping to begin from St. Jean in September. Our thinking is that we might avoid the worst of the summer heat and crowds. True? I'd like to hear back from others who have walked in the Fall to get their perspective. Thanks.
