    Polling Fellow Walkers - Start in SJPP or Pamplona?

    Roncesvalles, because it's easy going afterwards. If you choose Pamplona to avoid a climb as a start day, you're in trouble. It's a really hard and unending climb to Alto del Perdón (albeit the view is fabulous) but the worst is the unending and risky downhill in those huge rocks right...

    Missing German Pilgrim Sighted in Zafra, Search Underway

    « Photos deleted + think such Threads, if pilgrim is safe and especially safe all along should be deleted for the same reason « Wait, what ? On the contrary, there’s enough censorship these days, sheesh - we should congratulate albergue owner Antonio Puente Mateo for his efforts in looking...

    I just did it!

    Having been fortunate to pedal along the Portuguese coast myself, I can’t say enough about the amazing and beautiful March 2019 video Efrén González published in November 2021 on youtube : Hiking 280 km along the Costa Verde | Porto to Santiago. A great preview for Kathy, Kurt, Leamac and other...

    DJI Pocket 2, last minute decision

    It’s about biking and droning but Ryan van Duzer´s video covers all the angles (pun intended).

    What I Learned from Walking Alone

    From my heel to my toe is a measured space of 29.7 centimetres or 11.7 inches. This is a unit of progress and it is also a unit of thought. ‘I can only meditate when I am walking,’ wrote Jean-Jacques Rousseau in the fourth book of his ‘Confessions’, ‘when I stop I cease to think; my mind only...

    LIVE from the Camino Caminho Nascente from Tavira - Spring 2021

    Hola, just noted this thread (Thu May 6), remembering I picked up a 4-page folder, a couple of years back, while staying (for the third time) at Pousada de Juventude Tavira. Produced by Associacao Amigos do Caminho do Este de Portugal (A.C.E.P.) walking baesuris santiago Tavira-Baesuris (Castro...

    What is the difference between an albergue, hostal and a pension ?

    Hola, peregrinos past and yet-to-be. Thanks to MikeyC, we all know the variations on the theme of the original question. I am assuming the "albergue" mentioned by LizKhan atop this page is the classical Albergue de peregrinos. In the old days, any town along the camino (any "official" camino)...

    Five Questions about the Via de la Plata

    Supposing you are ending the Via de la Plata in Astorga (where it's supposed to end, officially), you will join the Camino Frances there and you may use the rather recent rucksack transportation service from Spain's Correos (the national post office) : albergue to hotel to wherever you are...

    What does your Google Maps in Spain look like?

    Hello, you have to explain how to do that on a desktop. AFAIK, this star feature is only available on IOS and Android. BTW, your map is not clickable - can you give us its URL?

    Cycling sections

    Hi Dan, On my first camino in 2012, after walking from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Leon, I needed a change of pace and out of curiosity and googling, I found Bikenbabia which rented me a bike to be dropped off in Santiago. They delivered it to my hotel - I had splurged for my birthday and stayed...

    Bike hire from either Leon or Gijon to Santiago de C

    Hola, I rented from Leon with bikeenbabia.com 4 years back. Was very satisfied. They delivered the bike at Hostal San Marcos in Leon and they picked it up from San Martin Pinario in SDC - two of my favorite camino lodgings, albeit with very different rates.
