    Ultimate Dog Repellent

    I can report, for personal experience, of a couple who was attacked and bitten by to dogs on Via de la Plata, while they were walking the same stage as mine. I was attacked by a dog myself, in 2019 on Camino Catalán, but managed to stay (rather...) calm and i could get far from what the animal...

    Which Camino for both a challenge and the community?

    If you can understand some spanish (castilian) language you could find your accomodation opportunities on Gronze, maybe the most updated website (and app) about the Caminos in spanish ( gronze.com ) I've walked all the three Caminos i talked about to you in 2018 and i could always sleep in...

    Which Camino for both a challenge and the community?

    It also depends on how many days you have for walking. The Camino Primitivo from Oviedo could be a good option if you can walk for 10-12 days; whenever you've got 4-5 days more, you could add the Camino del Salvador, going from Leon to Oviedo and, from there on, walking the Camino Primitivo...

    Lucca to Colle Val d'Elsa - First Walk Ever

    Lucca is actually wonderful but the stage to Altopascio is rather ugly, going across a flat and very populated and industrialized area (i live 5 kms. from Altopascio and know very well this area and the itinerary of the Via Francigena). If you sleep in Lucca in order to visit the town (it's well...

    Lucca to Rome June 2019 - Dogs, Mosquitos, Other Walkers?

    Don't be jeaous at all! Lucca is a wonderful town, perfect as a starting point; maybe the first stage to Altopascio is not so nice (the trail goes across a very populated and industrialized area) but, further on, you're going to have a 14 day full immersion in one of the most beautiful parts...

    headed to rome

    The "Via Francigena" follows the stages of the route that the bishop Sigerico of Canterbury followed around the year 1000 A.D. while going to Rome. He wrote a diary of his journey, in ancient latin language, pointing out each "mansio" (end point of his daily stage) he and his fellows stopped...

    LIVE from the Camino On the Levante for summer

    I read this Forum after some day of absence, because i enjoyed a couple of rest days in Madrid and, last tuesday, i had my flight back to Pisa. Back to the job and to all familiar duties, then, and little time to stay connected. Take good care of yourself, Grace, -just as you're doing right...

    moromauro en el Levante: just some hints

    Day 30: Villalazán - Zamora My last day walking Caminos, this year, and it was two days ago (i'm late in writing this post). After my first Camino in 2009 my goal has not been anymore to get to Santiago: i prefer enjoying my way, either it gets to Santiago or not. Though when i have to stop...

    moromauro en el Levante: just some hints

    Day 29: Toro - Villalazán This one should have been my last day walking as in my plans about this year's Camino i aimed to get to Zamora. My holiday period lasts till june 6th and, despite i hadn't any drawbacks during my Camino, i knew from the begin i couldn't get to Santiago this year...

    moromauro en el Levante: just some hints

    Day 28: Siete Iglesias de Trabancos - Toro Stage a little harder than i thought in advance: in the first 15 kms., and above all in the stretch just after Castronuño, the Camino goes continuously up- and downhill with stretches short but sometimes steep. Waymarking was good, with two...

    moromauro en el Levante: just some hints

    Day 27: Medina del Campo - Siete Iglesias de Trabancos A rather short and easy stage in a day with a good weather for hiking: sometimes sunny, sometimes cloudy, always a light and fresh wind. Stage well waymarked; the town of Nava del Rey well positioned after 15 kms. from the starting...

    moromauro en el Levante: just some hints

    Sometimes i take strange decisions. I didn't want to stay in the monastery just because i guessed i had to ring the bell everytime i went back to the room, just as in another monastery i stayed in a couple of weeks ago. I know it's a very strange reason why... :-D

    Albergue de Siete Iglesias de Trabancos: some statistics

    I'm italian but when i was in my 20's (it was "only" 30 years ago...) i spent 8 months in the Netherlands in order to improve my experience in the cultivation of cutflowers, that was the economic sector where i worked then in Italy, where my family had a farm. Despite the lessons were in...

    Yes, the welcoming in the Ayuntamiento was exceptional to me too and i dearly recommend this little Albergue.

    Albergue de Siete Iglesias de Trabancos: some statistics

    Yes, that Albergue! It's basic but clean and comfortable and the sleeping room is very spacious, if compared to other albergues i slept in this year. It's a pity there's not a kitchen, but the rest is good. Tot ziens! :-D

    I knew about that bar but unfortunately it was monday: nust tbe day of the week when the bar is close! :-( Thus i had lunch in the restaurant in the gas station just outside the village; later in the afternoon i had a coffee in the bar just downhill the Ayuntamiento and found them very kind as...

    Albergue de Siete Iglesias de Trabancos: some statistics

    Heet je Nel? (ENG: Are you Nel?) ;-) In the register there is a Nel from the Netherlands that found it fine to have had the opportunity to sleep here for a night ("Wat fijn dat ik hier een nachtje mocht slapen!"). It was on april 6th and the begin of april could be compatible with your memory...

    P.S.: i also found the registrations of Laurie ( "Peregrina2000") on may 29th 2013 (exactly 4 years ago!) and of Mr. Alan Sykes on december 8th 2014, that could be the user Alanskyes in this forum! :-D

    Being alone today in Siete Iglesias de Trabancos (where i arrived too early) and having nothing better to do, i noticed in the sleeproom of the albergue the register of pilgrims who slept here in the past 5 years and half, as this register starts from january 1st, 2012. ...so i began counting...
