    If you get lost on the trail answer your phone!

    Not exactly Camino related, but I was flabbergasted by this story of a hiker that was lost for 24 hours who ignored rescuers' calls because 'they didn't recognize the number'...

    Routes south of Lisbon to connect to the Camino?

    I'm thinking of walking from Lisbon again, but I'm interested in a route that I could walk from the south for 5 days to a week into Lisbon. Any ideas? I'm currently in my post Camino "where do I go next and when" phase.

    Ordering "agua del grifo"

    I much prefer ordering agua del grifo (tap water) both to save money and plastic, and everything else that goes into the production and delivery of bottled water. The last couple of nights in Santiago I dined with a group at two different vegetarian/vegan restaurants and they didn't bat an...

    Cool sello in Lalín

    I stopped by the Punto de Información al Peregrino in Lalín today and got this really cool wax sello with a hórreo charm. (the charms vary, sometimes it's a concha) https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZYyrksiH9aimiu6cA?g_st=ac Here are the hours

    Day trip from Santiago - Ourense?

    I'm going to have three and a half days in Santiago after I arrive, and thought that it would be fun to do a day trip. My accommodation in Santiago is already paid for, so I'm not looking for an overnight. Ourense appeals because I've never been there before and it's less than 45 minutes by...

    Casa da Vila in Piñeiro?

    I've called and booked this for my stage from A Pobra do Brollón, and was wondering if anyone has stayed there. I saw this post from @Mrs. Bloem who was planning to stay there in April. I was wondering how it was. Is it easy or hard to find? I had wanted to book Torre Vilarino, but they are...

    If you need "hiker's" wool in León

    I stopped in the pilgrim store Armería Castro.Deportes y Tienda del peregrino today, and they carry bags of wool to use on your feet. https://maps.app.goo.gl/Zb8fM4AK2qyCuGYt6?g_st=ac

    Albergue in Calzado del Coto

    Has anyone stayed at the donativo Albergue San Roque in Calzado del Coto? I'm planning to stay there tomorrow (Sunday), and my only concern is dinner. I'm currently in Calzadilla de la Cueza where there is no grocery store, and I may not pass an open grocery store on my way tomorrow. According...

    New Wise Pilgrim feature

    Michael @wisepilgrim had mentioned a new feature that he was developing for Wise Pilgrim, and it looks like it is now in operation. You can check the app and see in real time how many beds are left in an albergue. I imagine that there are a limited number of albergues participating in this...

    Ruesta - dinner AND lunch?

    I'm making a reservation at the albergue in Ruesta and they've asked which meals I want. I'll definitely get the dinner, but is it worthwhile to get the lunch too? I don't know if I can wait until I get there to decide on the lunch. It looks like there's a place in Artieda where I can stop...

    Stages from Oloron-Sainte-Marie

    I've been working on stages from Oloron-Sainte-Marie, and have come up with this plan. I'm hoping that those experienced with this route can chime in on whether these stages sound reasonable, or suggestions for better stages. Maybe a way to cut the longer stages down to less than 25 km...

    New handsfree umbrella holder

    I came across this new type of handsfree umbrella holder on ETSY recently. It seems like it would be a lot easier to use than bungees and other things that people use to attach their umbrellas to their backpacks. It works similarly to the clips on the Euroschirm handsfree umbrella. Handsfree...

    Vodaphone Travel eSim

    While perusing Instagram, an ad for Vodaphone Travel eSim popped up in my feed. The site is clear on how to buy, download, and install the Vodaphone travel eSim. You can buy and install the eSim at home, then activate it once you arrive in Europe. It's a data only eSim, so you won't get a...

    New lightweight backpack from REI

    I need a new backpack like a hole in the head, but I was intrigued by the new Flash Air backpack from REI. At 50 liters it's larger than I need, but it's very lightweight. It's currently on pre-order, but there are already reviews from almost a year ago on the REI site. My curiosity really got...

    Hotel in Bilbao close to airport?

    I have an early morning flight from the Bilbao airport in July. Does anyone have a recommendation for a hotel near the airport but not too far from the city? I plan to spend two nights there.

    Making my way from Barcelona to Oloron-Sainte-Marie

    My husband and I will be spending a few days in Barcelona before I start my Camino in May. I am planning to take the train to Zaragoza the same day that he flies home. I plan to spend two nights in Zaragoza, then take the train to Canfranc, then bus to Oloron the next day. Does this sound...

    A busy April?

    The forum community is a tiny part of the overall Camino community, but I think that trends here mirror the overall Camino trends somewhat. And if that is true, according to our Calendar threads then this April looks to be very busy. As of today, 85 forum members have signed up for April, and...
