    LIVE from the Camino Meseta in winter

    Hey I just finished in Santiago on Thursday, couldn't get off it and kept going past León! It was quite easy to find albergues in February. Some places like Foncebadón there was only one open so a friend kindly booked me a bed as I arrived late and it was full! March I guess things will start...

    LIVE from the Camino Meseta in winter

    Just wanted to say that I'm walking the meseta now, getting closer to León, and the weather is great! Sunny and 15°C during the day. In case anyone is thinking of a last minute camino like me 😊

    I always carry a great Decathlon 10L packable backpack, it weighs nothing and I keep it with me at all times with my valuables and can just put it inside my sleeping bag at night.

    I'm walking my 3rd stage of the Francés right now, alone. I walked the other 2 bits alone also (June 2021 and October 2022). Even now which is low season there are people around. I have always felt quite safe but do keep my wits about me, like if I'm walking in a forest I don't wear headphones...

    LIVE from the Camino Winter Walking: My Journey Along the Camino Francés

    Yep! I thought it was weird because of course I'm a pilgrim, lol! Can you share the website with the list of open places? I'll have an interview on Thursday so really will need to have a place then!

    Where are you now? I'm going to start Tuesday 14th from Frómista. I tried to book but one place said they won't be open due to illness and the other said they don't do bookings, the message was strange, she was like we only cater to pilgrims, you might be looking for something else!

    Thanks for the tips Jeremy and glad you made it to Santiago! Quite something for someone from a tropical country! 😊 (I am also, from Brazil but guess got used to the weather here in the UK) Someone else gave me a good tip of taking a seat pad. I've hiked here in the UK in winter, in England and...

    Hey! Any tips on must haves for a winter camino? I'm booking to join it in mid Feb where I left it in Frómista in October. So weather was very different!

    LIVE from the Camino Walking the Via de la Plata with New Friends

    Hey I'm booking to join the Frances in the Meseta in mid February, any tips on what is needed/must haves for a winter camino? I did it in October last year so very different! It was actually quite warm some days!

    Going back on the camino probably next week!

    Hi everyone, I did the camino in June 2021 from León. And now, after an absolutely terrible 2022, full of the worst trauma, I'm probably going back on Monday, a last minute decision when I managed to get 2 weeks off. As friends told me, the camino is calling me back. I want to start from SJPDP...

    Bedbug repellent sprays?

    Hi all, I suffered with bedbugs twice last month for the first time in Europe (in Spain on the Camino Frances and then in Poland only 1 week after finishing!), and the experiences left me a bit traumatised and paranoid. I'm considering doing the camino from Porto so am looking for a spray that...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Lost masks in the Camino - animal hazard!

    If people become at least a bit more aware and just don't put them in their pockets where they will easily fall out! Unfortunately though most of them I've seen after Sarría, so probs the work of turigrinos who will never see this forum 🙄 But we can keep at least snapping the elastics

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Lost masks in the Camino - animal hazard!

    Yeah there are just too many to be just litter, plus people need them anyway to go into a shop, albergue, to walk into town etc, I've been keeping mine somewhere where it won't fall off and so far didn't lose any but I guess most people are just keeping them in their pockets

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Lost masks in the Camino - animal hazard!

    That's why I'm doing it with my boots and walking poles and sanitising them afterwards 😐 Because even if someone throws them in the bin without sniping the elastics, they still get into the environment somehow... I do hope that at some point someone does a proper cleanup of the camino though...
