    Where to get stamp booklet in seville

    This where I've also gotten mine. I've stayed there twice, right off the Camino route in...Triana😉

    The king’s breadmaker

    Doesn't she already have the record for the greatest number of times she has walked the Invierno? Or at least the American record?

    The king’s breadmaker

    Correct! I had difficulty finding it when I left in the early morning last July (it's kind of hiding around an ally) but a neighbor yelled up to the owner, she looked out her bedroom window and opened up for me. I carried the bread all the way to Silleda where I ate it with olive oil and salt...

    All trains are full on Renfe (around May 3-7, 2024)

    I had the same problem one year, neither from the airports in Santiago or Vigo could I get a flight. Since I had to get back to Madrid Airport by a certain time I used BlaBla car for the first time. I first had to catch a train to the Vigo train station where I was picked up. I was dropped off...

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

    I disagree. My first trip over the Pyrenees, in July I might add, was completely clouded over and misty. I've no idea how many feet ahead of me were visible but I realized then and there the importance of those polls with an emergency telephone number. Luckily by the time I reached the top I got...

    Bed race on the VDLP…

    But as I said there is a donativo in Salamanca. The first night you could stay there and the second night in the other place. If you're taking the Sanabrés there is also a great donativo in Tábara.

    Bed race on the VDLP…

    I've walked the Plata twice and parts a third time and although I never had an issue finding a bed (July and February) I did hear that April is or at least was the busiest month in the year as most northern Europeans prefer walking in cooler temperatures. I hope that you have now gotten out of...

    The Valle del Silencio as Invierno prelude

    Lucky you! All options sound great. Unfortunately Valle de Silencio didn't work out when we started out together 8 (?) years ago.

    LIVE from the Camino The old man and his shop in Castrojeriz is alive and kickin’!

    No way! I can't believe he's still alive! I had a long chat with him November 2018 while buying a pair of gloves. He told me then that no one in his family wanted to take over the store. I believe that I first met him years before that but I can't remember when. May he continue to be healthy...

    Madrid to Ponferrada

    Train connection is very good. I've done it twice.

    Lost & Found LOST (Now found!) PACER POLES BEFORE CEA

    That's a b*tch! In 2014 I left my poles in a hostal in Cordoba and realized it about an hour into my walk. I immediately turned around and they were waiting for me against the wall near the front door. Mine were cheap Decathlon poles but since my first Camino I can't do without. I sure hope...

    Tibial fracture after 600 km on French Camino

    It is indeed a wonder how we can push through pain to continue, sometimes increasing the damage. In 2011 while walking the Vía de la Plata I started to have knie pain on day 10 which continued and increased despite anti-inflammatory meds. I didn't do anything particular prior to onset and am a...

    For Sale/Wanted Albergue for sale

    Since neither Martin or Merel have posted the news here, I hope they don't mind that I pass on the news that they have successfully sold the albergue to another Dutch pilgrim per the albergue's Facebook page. Many happy news for the new owner!

    Trekking Poles

    Poles all the way and not one but two! They help take weight off the hips and knees, make for a more efficient stride and greater speed and your fingers won't swell. Going both uphill and downhill they are a great help, especially downhill (place in front off you to help break a fall). Mine are...

    Camino Ingles - how immersive an experience have you found it?

    This is so personal. The Inglés was for me an afterthought, an add on after Gijón - Muxía (Norte) and the Portuguese Coastal route. I had a few extra days so I took the train up to Ferrol from Santiago. I personally would not walk the Inglés on its own since it's too short for my liking and of...

    LIVE from the Camino Fuente de Cantos accommodation

    Just curious, does this mean that the small basic municipal albergue is no longer in function? Stayed there twice so am curious.

    Oseira Monestery

    That was my experience too, albeit years ago in the old albergue. I'm really curious to hear about the renovations since I've stayed in the very damp, rustic albergue twice. Still glad I did although the second time was the day of the train accident on its way to Santiago for the July 25th...

    Bathroom stops on the camino for female Peregrinas

    Except who wants to see all those vending machines and toilet facilities along a Camino route? I certainly don't. People I assume are more than capable of living without them (is carrying water and a snack so difficult?). After walking 20+ Caminos over the last 13 years - yes, as a woman -...
