    Sleeping bag OR just a liner??

    All this expensive sleeping bag talk…. I’d rather stay the odd night in an Albergue/hotel (call me old fashioned…. ) Currently at La Fabrica in Tardajos. Gorgeous luxury! Sheets and towels and shower and even two beds ( I can have double duvet if necess) a snip at 38 euro! And room to do yoga...

    Sleeping bag OR just a liner??

    😊😂Yes, of course, but a very thin travel one that will be dry by night 🤞 . Actually, probably too thin for any warmth. buen camino.

    Sleeping bag OR just a liner??

    Hi Shamoose, I managed with a liner last year (Sept 2024) pretty well, with the odd blanket, I’ve just arrived to continue from Burgos this Sept, where it was pretty warm last year, but this year, so far it’s a bit chilly and wet. I’ve still with only a sleeping bag liner…. but I’m thinking I...

    abandoned walking poles in Burgos?

    Hey, just thought I’d close this post with: poles from Bilbao. Ive arrived here and guess what? There’s a decathlon right in the centre near the river. Got my poles, rubber tips and a cover for my backpack (it’s raining, as in UK I’ve just left). I head to Burgos manana. Excited to begin next...

    LIVE from the Camino Walking from León

    Well done JDK, Where does everyone go I wonder? I’m restarting from Burgos in a few days and hoping to get to Astorga on this leg. There’s talk of how busy it will be, but when out walking it, ( in Sept 2023) it was often very quiet. Surely, not everyone goes off in the dark do they? Why do...

    56 y/o, traveling alone & so nervous

    Hi Michelle, You will love it! And do trust that things will go right when you need them to as they always seem somehow. I did my first camino last year to Burgos, alone. Age 62. I like your phrase ‘pulled to do the camino” -me too. I put it off for years! I skipped the bit over the pyrenees...

    6 or 8 days from Burgos to Leon

    Hi Rodrigo, I like your story and have enjoyed watching this thread as I’m doing Burgos to Leon for this leg in Sept 2024. I’m walking alone, and planning for 7-8 days walking, so have pre-booked some places as it terrifies me I might not find somewhere to stay! However, I’ve left a couple of...

    Sunrises and Sunsets

    Love this thread. What great pics and all brings back memories of early mornings of places I’ve went through last year and when I go this Sept. I don’t usually take pics, but I will this time! Thanks guys. Also looking forward to seeing the Milky Way when I start from Burgos this time. Whole...

    Breakfast

    Hi Bulling, No offence taken. Thank you for reading. I did once have to walk about 3k before I found coffee and you’re right it tasted amazing. I feel no shame for my addiction I’m afraid. Just a cup or two the morning is all. There are plenty of other ‘tests’ along the way and I’ve learned to...

    Breakfast

    Hola Bog, I personally can’t do anything in the morning without coffee! I found on CF last year to Burgos, that, I never had to go far to find a little village or town cafe open near to where I was staying. Some of these are my most memorable spots as sunrise in a beautiful place, great coffee...

    Becoming a Pilgrim

    Hola HB, Your post moved me so much. And I’m sure you’ll find solace, fun, kindness and companionship on the camino. I did (part of it) for the first time ever last year and was so nervous starting alone, but it was wonderful. I wasn’t looking for monumental or metamorphosis, but I learned to...

    abandoned walking poles in Burgos?

    Amazing, do you mean en route, you fashion, whittle and add fabric handles? They look fab. I quite enjoyed finding a suitable stick on the way, first time round, just found branches etc. But the pole people seem to swear by them, but then they would I suppose. Do you really mean to wait to 2055...

    abandoned walking poles in Burgos?

    Hola I want to pick up some second hand poles in Burgos. Let me someone please! There must be a way! I ended my camino in Burgos last year and so did loads of other pilgrims, judging by the packed bus station. Where do all the poles go? I didn’t have any then because I used pieces of broken...
