    Rucksack transfer

    I did SJPdP to Roncesvalles in two days, using luggage transport which I arranged the day of my arrival in St Jean. After that, I carried myself. I am now on day 10 and have decided to use luggage transfer for either stretches with much elevation, or very long distances. I am 72 yo.

    Planning shorter walks from SJPP to Pamplona - places to stay off stage

    I am in Ponte la Reina now. My favorite sofar has been the donativo in Zabaldika, about 8 km before Pamplona. I would also recommend Borda instead of Orisson.

    ‘The pilgrim hooked on the Galician language and less travelled caminos’

    I speak quite some Spanish, French and Italian and did a few months of Portuguese on Duolingo before starting the Camino Português. I was amazed at how easy it was to understand galician. To me, it looked like a combination of Spanish and Portuguese.
