Question 1

How does luggage transfer work?

Accepted Answer

Your main luggage is transferred between accommodations each day, so you only need to carry a daypack on the trail. Bags must be left at the hotel reception by 9am — earlier if possible to avoid delays. The maximum weight is 20kg per bag in Spain and 13kg in France. Please do not attach items such as bags, umbrellas or footwear to the outside of your luggage as the transfer service cannot be held responsible for lost items. Broken wheels and handles are also not covered by the transfer service. If you are carrying valuables in your luggage, please let the transfer service know so they can take extra care.

Question 2

What happens if I don’t want to walk one of the days, can I travel with the luggage?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, walkers cannot travel with the luggage. The information you are provided with has details for local taxi numbers, bus and train timetables should you wish to not walk on any day. Your accommodation hosts will also have up to date information and advice should you wish to travel to the next destination by local transport. As always, you can call us in the office should you need help during your walk.

Question 3

Can you extend our stay on the walk?

Accepted Answer

Of course, please let us know at the time of booking if you would like to extend your time.

Question 4

Can my children walk with me?

Accepted Answer

We don't allow children under the age of 16 to do this walk.

Question 5

Is this tour OK for solo walkers?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many people choose to complete stages of the Camino as a solo walker. There are many people walking the route, and many of the overnight stays welcome hordes of walkers, which means you can choose to walk your own journey or join in the camaraderie of walking with others.

Question 6

We’re travelling as friends but would like single rooms?

Accepted Answer

Subject to a single occupancy payment, single rooms are available. However, due to the limited accommodation single rooms might not always be available for every night of the tour, but we will let you know your options throughout the booking process.

Question 7

Where would you suggest adding an extra night?

Accepted Answer

Lugrono and Burgos are vibrant towns, which has been welcoming Camino walkers for centuries!
Both Burgos and Legrono are great plalces to add a rest day.

Question 8

Will I have mobile coverage on the Camino Frances?

Accepted Answer

Coverage is generally good in towns and populated areas along the route, though more remote and mountainous stretches can be patchy. Stroll provides a walking app with GPX files that can be downloaded and viewed offline, making navigation straightforward even without reception. Always follow the Camino scallop shell waymarkers — the route is exceptionally well signed throughout.

Question 9

What should I budget for daily expenses?

Accepted Answer

Breakfast is included in your package each day. For lunch, dinner and personal expenses, a budget of approximately €35 to €50 per day is a reasonable guide. Pilgrim menus at local restaurants are a budget-friendly option and a genuine part of the Camino experience. Your budget should also account for snacks, drinks and any optional activities along the way.

Question 10

Should I carry cash on the Camino Frances?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While credit cards are widely accepted in larger towns, smaller villages, cafes and rural establishments often prefer or only accept cash. Carry a mix of both and withdraw cash in larger towns where ATMs are more readily available. The currency in both France and Spain is the Euro.

Question 11

What should I know about siesta hours?

Accepted Answer

Shops, cafes and most services close during the afternoon siesta, typically from around 2pm to 5pm or later. Plan your lunch stops and any shopping around these hours to avoid being caught out.

Question 12

Can dietary requirements be catered for?

Accepted Answer

Yes. As only breakfast is provided as part of your package, lunch and dinner are your own to arrange, giving you full flexibility along the route. Please advise us of any dietary requirements at the time of booking so we can inform your accommodation hosts. On check-in, reconfirm your requirements directly with reception. Pilgrim menus at local restaurants typically offer good variety and can usually accommodate common dietary needs.

Question 13

What should I wear when visiting religious sites?

Accepted Answer

The Camino passes through many significant religious sites, including cathedrals in Pamplona, León and Santiago de Compostela. Dress respectfully when visiting. Covering shoulders and knees is customary at most churches and cathedrals along the route.

Question 14

What should I pack?

Accepted Answer

Key items include comfortable and well broken-in hiking shoes or boots, a lightweight waterproof jacket, a hat, sunscreen and a 25 to 30 litre daypack. Walking poles are useful in the earlier mountainous stages but less necessary on the flatter terrain closer to Santiago. A basic first aid kit, including blister treatment, is strongly recommended. A full packing list will be provided after your booking is confirmed.

Question 15

What does "Walk Your Own Camino" mean?

Accepted Answer

The Camino is a deeply personal journey and there is no single right way to walk it. Whether you take a taxi on a tough day, stay in a private hotel or simply walk at your own pace, what matters most is what you bring to the journey. Stroll is here to make your Camino as comfortable and memorable as possible, however you choose to walk it.
