    The REAL Camino Viejo - a new project for a Camino alternative.

    Hi, @Paulo Arantes, Just wondering if you are plannng/hoping/thinking about going up to Beriain. @caminka talks about doing it. I think it’s about a 17 km round trip from Arbizu, and these wikiloc tracks show the route.

    The REAL Camino Viejo - a new project for a Camino alternative.

    I have written to the monastery to ask about this. It seems like the only way for me to get up to San Miguel without having a really long stage. As I calculate it, it’s 23 to Irutzun from Pamplona, where there’s lodging. Then the next day about 14 to Zamartze, and from there about a 10-15 kim...

    LIVE from the Camino Camino de Sagunto

    Thanks for all your posts, Filly, they will be helpful for the next forum member who decides to strike out on the Sagunto. I will admit those long stages are a real disincentive for me and my aging body, and I am extremely impressed that you seemed to sail right through some extremely long stages.

    The REAL Camino Viejo - a new project for a Camino alternative.

    I am not sure if we had found these sites when we were doing the Viejo planning thread in covid confinement, but here are some things that might help with planning. I’m learning that in some places this route is called the “Ruta Pamplonesa del Camino Olvidado.”...

    The REAL Camino Viejo - a new project for a Camino alternative.

    Forum members have also stayed at the rooms above Bar Mylo in Santibañez de la Peña. 979 860 294. This is closer to Guardo than Tarilonte, but if you are planning to walk the variante through Caminayo (highly recommended), you can then go from Santibañez through Guardo to Velilla and then have...

    The REAL Camino Viejo - a new project for a Camino alternative.

    Oh, it would be wonderful to have a live report. I have started mapping things out several times, but always find that there are just so many choices that it’s kind of overwhelming to plot out. I have been thinking that since I will be pushing 75 next year, I might be past the point where I...

    Coffee

    I think the best option would be to buy one in the US and use duct tape to tape the adaptor plug to the US plug. I only use my coil in Spain or Portugal, so I just leave the plug firmly attached and it works great.

    Coffee

    I’m wondering where you read or heard that, because there are lots of them sold on amazon.es and in Spanish ferreterías online - just search calentador por inmersion. Carrefour and Worten both sell them online, and I’d be very surprised if big chains were selling illegal products.

    Camino Castellano-Aragonés and Camino de San Olav spring 2023 — Video and notes!

    I re-watched your video, @Bjorts. Just beautiful photos. I think this is the single best piece of advice. If you walk the official route you will enter the canyon at a spot that is well beyond the church and well beyond its most majestic part. Take a taxi from San Leonardo! When I walked...

    Camino Castellano-Aragonés and Camino de San Olav spring 2023 — Video and notes!

    Glad you had a good camino. My jaw dropped until I re-read the message and saw you were on a bike! Didn’t you love Soria?

    SATA/Azores Cancelled Flight

    Great news! Did you have to call Portugal to speak with them? I see that @trecile had given a hint on how to do cheap calls. BTW, when I was on the airline’s website, I saw that you can arrange a free stopover in the Açores. If you haven’t been there (or even if you have), that might be a...

    Problems with Iberia and American Airlines (standby seats and lost luggage)

    Let’s face it, we are captives. I have seen no evidence that the airlines are at all sensitive to increasing complaints; in fact their customer service keeps getting worse! At least in Europe, the passenger protections are generous and strictly enforced. Not so much here in the US. Climate...

    Calendar SEPTEMBER 2024 Start – Check in here!

    Once again, here is an example of the format we ask people to use. Just three pieces of information and in this order. September 24, @yukonwanderer (SJPP). Doing the input manually is made SO much easier if we look at that information, scroll up to the calendar, and input it in exactly that...

    LIVE from the Camino On the Camino de Madrid!

    I’m pretty sure you are talking about @CaminoDebrita, whose book is described here. Deb hasn’t been on the forum for a while, but in the past she has been off for a while and then come back, so we can hope that’s the case again!

    Albergue in Manzanares el Real

    This post is very old and very out of date. The albergue became inaccessible to pilgrims on the Camino years ago. The church simply refused to let pilgrims in, that’s my understanding, and in the opinions of many who know far more than I do, with that they breached their agreement — the...

    LIVE from the Camino Caminho Nascente from Tavira - Spring 2021

    I hesitated when I heard him say that he added 5 kms to his day by taking the new squishy marshy route. Because his tracks say that this new route is “only” 37.66 kms. So it looks like the new route doesn’t add much at all.

    Wikiloc or alternative for planning

    You’re right that I should have said that FOR ME the undoubtably best solution has been to pick one app, learn it well, and forget about the rest. Other people have different skills, interests, and patience and can easily manage several. But I also think that for most of us, learning one app...

    SATA/Azores Cancelled Flight

    I saw those phone numbers but my guess is that they are no longer in operation at all. The page I linked to above is pretty clear that everyone has to call Portugal to talk to them. (I say this because their instructions say — “International callers, please dial….. “. and then they give a...

    LIVE from the Camino Caminho Nascente from Tavira - Spring 2021

    The route to Évora from Viana has been taken off the highway. Looks like the permission has been granted, but it also looks like the off-road camino goes through a lot of very soggy marshy areas and has a lot of river crossings. An improvement, no doubt, but maybe pretty challenging at certain...

    LIVE from the Camino Caminho Nascente from Tavira - Spring 2021

    I have deleted a couple of posts that will be unnecessarily confusing to future pilgrims on the Nascente. Mea culpa. Nick and Wendy walked Cuba to Alvito (15 km) and Alvito to Viana (12 km) on two days. Álvaro Lazaga walked it in one stage, and noted that he followed old arrows, not the new...
