    Is the Camino too crowded?

    You've got me thinking about the norte again. I wanted to walk it from Irun, but was discouraged by the lack of municipal albergues the first few days out of Irun and lack of affordable alternatives. Gronze shows Zarautz having two hotels with 25 Euro beds, but they are $44 or $45 on...

    What to do? Carrion to Sahagún

    Carrion to Sahagun is 39 km. Personally, I wouldn't do it, but some people seem ok with that level of effort. If you do reach Sahagun, I'd recommend the albergue de peregrinos de la Santa Cruz. I stayed there coming up from Madrid last year, and loved the communal dinner, which makes for a much...

    How many days

    From SJPP, about 30 days +- averaging 27-28 km per day for the entire journey. If you can manage that day after day, then assume about a month. That first day from Saint Jean to Roncevalles over the mountains is pretty tough.

    Catholic albergues and spots

    Also the benedictine albergue in Leon (Carbajalas). You can attend Mass in the evenings with the sisters. I thought that I had missed Zabadilka on the CF back in 2016, but after looking at my stamps, I did stop there for one night, lol.

    Catholic albergues and spots

    When I walked the FC back in 2016, I stayed at the 6th Century Samos monastery, which is right before Sarria. You can also get a tour of the monastery.

    I made it!!

    Well done! I'm starting another camino in less than a month. As for the butafumeiro, if you are staying in Compostela for a few days, just attend every Mass, and eventually you will see it.

    How many days are needed for the Camino Frances ?

    I walked the French Camino from SJPP to Santiago in 28 days, averaging something like 28 km per day overall. If you're averaging 15 miles (24 km) per day, it will take you roughly 33 days to get there. If you have a few extra days at the end of your journey, you can always take a side trip to Porto.

    Walking CF Oct/Nov 2021

    No, but there's a bus at the airport that will drop you off at the train station in town.

    Walking CF Oct/Nov 2021

    You should be able to fly from Lisbon to Bordeaux. There appears to be a direct flight to Bordeaux with EasyJet. From there, you can reach SJPP easily by train.
