Sorry for posting this if there is thread elsewhere about Alvaro's most recent Camino on the Nascente, he started in Faro then walked along the coast to Tavira.
He is at the end of his time on that way and instead of following to the very end he is crossing over onto the Camino Estrella which...
We arrived in Leon today only to find private accomodation full, something about 'oposiciones' ( for teachers) taking place today and tomorrow in Leon and next weekend as well, + somewhere in there is the feria de Leon, I did not want to stay in pilgrim accommodation today but in the end it...
This topic interests me because it might be a possible late walk this year if I can get the time. When I say changed I'm thinking has the route been made more off road than it was, I have seen a note on gronze https://www.gronze.com/etapa/borce/somport which mentioned a bridge being flown in...
There is a waymarked route which goes to Bom Jesus and the Sanctuary of Sameiro, which is also the start of the Via Mariana, I always intended to do this as my pre Camino Geira start but I read recently that they are building an Albergue De Peregrinos up at Sameiro and from the photo I saw are...
Hi all, I recently saw a link for this route https://www.cimcavado.pt/caminhos-de-sao-bento-da-porta-aberta-no-cavado/ which goes from Fao on the Portuguese Coastal route after Porto to Barcelos on the Central route and then on to Braga and the start of the Camino Geira and the Via Mariana...
This is a quote that was copied from the Guardian this morning( 22/4).
Spain 'desperate to welcome' UK tourists in summer – minister
Incidentally, if you’ve been missing the media obsession with whether people from the UK will be able to holiday abroad in the summer, I have good news. Sky News...
It is in Gallego but even if you don't understand the language you can get the general gist.
I would also say that many of the shots are on and near roads, it could be that they drove to certain points and filmed near where it was accessible for them.

The end of the 1st etapa they use is...
So do any of you posters have experience of walking in summer in a sarong?
I walked with a young American guy in July 2014 on the Primtivo who was wearing one, he seemed to have no issues. Is there a particular material I should be looking at, silk, cotton or another? I am not even sure at what...
I don't know if this has come up recently but I noticed this on a friend's Instagram so thought I would share https://www.ultreiaeljuego.com/ it's for 2 to 10 players which might be difficult for some of us, the purpose of the game is to get to Santiago🤪 while on the way collecting stamps for...
Hi the pilgrim groups who maintain this Camino and assist pilgrims have advised as of today (21/10/20) not to walk this route for a few weeks. This is due to places to sleep, and eat being closed at the moment. If they post differently on their Facebook I will put it up here.
I have been watching posts on facebook for this route, pilgrims are still walking it, they expected 2 to 3 thousand this year, as of now from the 1st July they have had about 100 pilgrims, they are being very warmly welcomed. Signage is not complete yet , they still recommend taking GPS. They...
Some of you know about this route this already. It starts in Caceres and ends Braga, it was partly signed several years ago but it seems like there is going to be a new attempt at signing it, see link, on the Spanish side of the border, not sure what happens in Portugal...
I have been following my friends journey from Ribadeo, various photos, videos and comments - wow, wow, wow,wow. The days and stages look supremely stunning. It does help that is has been sunny and hot, the colours of the sea,cliffs beaches and horizon come alive. There is 5 of them walking, 3...
Just seen this on a face book page with the exception of the town Bruela which was the place which had the high R Rate which prompted a lockdown, A Marina is open to pilgrims again.

I stumbled across this route recently, the individual who has proposed it does the route from Potes via Santo Toribio to Sarria through the Cantabrian mountains.You go through the Los Ancares mountains when going into Galicia but about 30 to 40 km north of where the CF enters. From the link I...
It's an old pilgrimage route which runs from either two places Santander or Suances in Cantabria on the Coast to Carrion de Los Condes on the CF.
It would have been a route for pilgrims of old who arrived by boat and then walked to Santiago, which is exactly my intention next year. I have been...

This might be the last thing on people's minds but Pontevea has a donativo place for 12 pilgrims, it is 17kn before Santiago. Obviously it could be a while before it has much use.

In the thread @peregrina2000 opened for discussion on Coronavirus I used the word selfish, it wasn't my intention to hurt or upset other posters, but I realised later that with this subject it is not one I can use such emotive words, lots of pilgrims are feeling anguish over their decisions...
