    LIVE from the Camino Luka on the Sanabrés

    Great museum! Very near to it is a national archive about the Spanish Civil War. Worth a visit.

    Compostela: Electric Bikes Excluded?

    I certainly hope that someone can clarify the language as it certainly sounds like no e-bikes no matter what. I'm personally all for the change but then again, I'd prefer that all cyclists stay off Camino paths and use the road instead. You may be a considerate cyclist but I've encountered way...

    Sanabres- Downhill to Ponte Ulla!

    Maybe I was sleepwalking? 😂

    Right quad pain, ok to push through or something to be worried about?

    If you showed a EU insurance card (on the back of mine is a EU flag and a telephone number for Euro cross) then you should not be charged. Medication is something else. By the way, tramadol is a much stronger painkiller than paracetamol or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory as Diclofenac as it...

    LIVE from the Camino Luka on the Sanabrés

    Hope you made it to Oseira safely and in descent health. I've stayed in the old albergue twice taking the tour in the afternoon but I hear that the albergue is much improved since the renovations. Ultreia.

    Sanabres- Downhill to Ponte Ulla!

    My knees did fine too. I actually jogged down. I won't be doing that in the future.

    Sanabres- Downhill to Ponte Ulla!

    Yeah but that was a serious downhill, one I've not forgotten. Switchbacks is indeed the way to go if the path or road is wide enough. I remember doing that during the downhill to the reservoir on the Primitivo. It just goes on and on! Who knows, I may have the same experience as you both this...

    Sanabres- Downhill to Ponte Ulla!

    That's interesting. Last summer I walked this stage and I don't even remember a downhill. Or it can be that after having walked both the Olvidado and the Invierno that I was just focused on arriving in Santiago.

    Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

    I first thought that this was written tongue-in-cheek. You can't truly expect albergue owners or a hospitalero to offer these items for sale. They are not a store. This is your problem, not theirs. If you find them essential take them yourself, just as you would take soap, shampoo, toothpaste...

    Right quad pain, ok to push through or something to be worried about?

    Indeed! Especially in Spain where medication such as Diclofenac is given over the counter (in The Netherlands you must have a prescription). Taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication such as Diclofenac is absolutely contraindicated if you are on blood thinners. Paracetamol on the other...

    Right quad pain, ok to push through or something to be worried about?

    It does surprise me when people ask advice here on the Forum about a musculoskeletal problem. I'm a physiotherapist but rarely give my opinion without first examining someone. There could be a number of reasons for your complaint. My advise as others have said is to see a professional. Hope...

    How to decide how long to walk for

    Two weeks would be the minimum for me but if I can swing it I prefer at least 3 weeks. I tend to walk long stages and walk fairly fast so I can cover quite some distance in 3-4 weeks. One year I was away for almost 6 weeks combining 2 Caminos and that was a bit too long for my liking. Since then...

    Pacemaker Implant Surgery Tomorrow. A New Phase for Future Caminos.

    Sending you positive energy post-surgery. Ultreia Dave.

    Norte Mountain Route - Soto to Cadevedo

    It's a great route if you don't mind some tough patches and walking it alone but I did it summer 2022 so the information is not current. The hospitalero at the municipal albergue tells everyone, every year, to take the coastal route. I personally would not take it if raining.

    LIVE from the Camino Luka on the Sanabrés

    Buen Camino Luka! Look forward to hearing about your walk. I'll be back on the Plata/Sanabrés at the end of June after 10 years! It will be interesting to see if there have been any changes.

    standard of living/quality of life in Spain

    True. I've been living in The Netherlands for the past 30 years and have also lived in Paris, Geneva and Luxembourg so half of my life I've lived in Europe and the first half in the U.S. Work/life balance I have found to be much more healthy in Europe. One's health care and education do not...

    Has the dog “policy” on the Camino changed?

    That reminds me of a café on a small plaza in Sahagún. I asked the owner if my dog was allowed in and he replied, "no problem, dogs behave better than most humans". At times in the boot room (in the old days in the muni in Nájara) or in a sheltered space outside. If your dog is a house dog...

    3 languages on VdlP stone pillars

    Ladino also came to my mind but I just read that it's Hebrew.

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

    Sorry if I was not clear. I meant that via Blabla car a private person picked me up at the train station in Vigo as I was coming in by train. I had exhausted all other possibilities (airport from Santiago, A Coruña and Vigo and all bus routes from anywhere in the vicinity of Santiago) before...
