    Flooding rains on the spiritual variant?

    Did you see Steve’s comment about lots of rain on the espiritual last year? Was told in Armenteria that the path of stone and water was closed due to flooding and they had to take the hard surface road. May happen to us too😣

    Flooding rains on the spiritual variant?

    We will see you! My cousin is wearing a bright pink rain coat - you can’t miss her. We took the “right” route. Totally walked along the highway. Large shoulders so it was OK.

    LIVE from the Camino They are recommending the Valcarlos route tomorrow, how foolish would it be to go Napoleon?

    1) get a weather app and look it up yourself. 2) get google translate and learn to use it 3) watch to forum 4) take ownership for your choices and situations. You are NOT on vacation 5) Buen Camino!

    LIVE from the Camino Jensjaunt on the Portuguese Coastal

    We loved Braga! Have a great time. The rain here is forecast for the next 4-5 days. But more serious 1-2” per day. So we will take our time. Be careful

    100km marker in Vigo? Where is it?

    Don’t think there is one. One app “starts” at not the cathedral by the waterfront but at the Alta Cruse. We left Vigo 2 days ago - stayed near the train station Urzáiz - and that is the street that comes straight into the coast route! Our hotel was around the corner - 10 min from the port/old...

    Route from Vigo changed?

    I have actually studied this in some detail. Because we are starting from Vigo and then doing the Espiritial Varient and several other minor detours to add some km. If you look at the Vigo map photo, (pg 247 in Camino Portuguese-Brierley) you will see a dotted line going straight out from the...
