    Camino Frances Accommodation - Hope this if of use

    I have managed with my limited skills to add the file. Please note that all the information is now a couple of years old, and there are sure to be other options and some may no longer be available. I hope this is of use. Joanne

    Planning my next Camino and doubting about sleeping in albergues

    Message me your email if you'd like my list of the accommodation we used in 2014 (more or less 20km apart). It may be out of date, but is a starting point. Buen Camino

    Camino Portugese- Need kind advice

    We mailed our bags from Lisbon to Ivar using the postal service. We made a mistake with the address. My bag arrived but the other didn't. We found this out while walking but after an extensive discussion in a village post office where we had Spanish and she only Portuguese we managed to get the...

    Portuguese Camino... concrete all the way?

    We walked along the coastline. It was beautiful and an pleasant change from the roads between Lisbon and Porto. Perhaps not the "official" route but a Camino to Santiago nevertheless. I blogged about it and included where we stayed (Albergues few and far between) with distances (20-25km per day)...

    Will we find Santiago de Compostela?

    We walked from Lisbon last year. Once we go to Porto we decided to hug the coastline as much as possible doingthe litoral. We only had Brierley and were a bit anxious. Google maps were a great help where we had uncertainty and we visited the tourist info places in each large town we came to...

    Hotel/Pension San Amaro (after Pontevedra)

    At the Pousada de Peregrinos San Amaro (just before the Meson de Pulpo mentioned in Brierley) we asked if there were any rooms nearby. For €30 for a double room with private bathroom we were picked up and taken to the Hotel San Martin only a few minutes away by car. There's a nice restaurant and...

    albergues on the portuguese coastal route??

    I would like to suggest that any two people sharing think twice about staying at the Hospederia/Albergue in La Ramallosa. Last night we paid €30 (it's €40 high season) for a tiny room that one person almost had to step out of if the other wanted to stand up. Shared bathroom. We saw nothing of...

    Not quite the coastal route

    The hard surfaces and traffic from Lisbon to Porto took their toll so we decided to hug the coastline as much as we could. We're doing about 20km each day and are often out of sync with the Albergues. Nevertheless we've found accommodation in places not listed on the sketchy maps we picked up...

    Bridge after Sacavem, any updated info?

    [QUwalked out of Sacavem two days ago. There were no problems with a broken wooden bridge that I can remember but there are roadworks where you cross the main road/bridge and then backtrack down to the dirt path along the river. A road worker told us where to go to get behind the road works to...
