Buen Camino! We're tackling one of the toughest stages of the Camino Frances - the hike from Saint Jean Pied de Port, France to Roncesvalles, Spain! With an elevation gain of nearly 4,500 feet, this section is a challenge, but the breathtaking scenery makes it all worthwhile. We'll tell you where we stayed, what we ate, and how much it all cost.
But what happens when the Camino throws you a curveball? We're diving deep into a topic no pilgrim wants to face - getting sick on the trail.
This happened to us, and we had to make some tough decisions. We weren't prepared for the possibility of illness, and scrambling for a Plan B wasn't ideal.
Learn from our experience! Before you hit the trail, consider these essential questions:
What happens if I get sick or injured?
Am I prepared to shorten stages or adjust my itinerary?
Do I have a backup plan if I can't complete the entire Camino?
Having a Plan B can make a world of difference if you face the pilgrim's worst nightmare.
Join us as we hike this challenging stage, share stunning views, and discuss the importance of flexible planning on the Camino.
Buen Camino! Be prepared, and let's conquer the trail (together!)
