    LIVE from the Camino Current big wave at beginning of Francés

    Well, this is something different than the occasional completo town. I find an increase of 21% in the first (almost) 4 months quite staggering.

    What to expect weather and crowd wise on Portuguese coastal route in early January?

    I walked from A Guarda (border Portugal/Spain) to Santiago from Dec 23 till Dec 31, 2023. It was very quiet until the route merged with the Portugués Central in Redondela. From Redondela on I guess there were about 20 to 40 pilgrims on the road (but that was of course during Christmas holidays)...

    Alert Theft at Roncesvalles

    I agree. There is scientific evidence that trusting people as a guiding principle enhances happiness. And vice versa: constant mistrust reduces happiness.

    Sanabres "Glitch"

    As A Gudiña was supposed to be my starting point, I decided to work around Campobecerros. I will now start my Camino (in 2,5 weeks) in Verín and walk Verín - Laza as first stage. I booked a room in the Parador in Verín, so lodging should be alright... 🤣

    Alert Theft at Roncesvalles

    Oof, I am not saying you shouldn't look after your valuables, but some of the comments here sound a bit too much like victim blaming IMHO.

    Counting pilgrims on the Norte AGAIN

    At the moment yes. Good luck with the alternatives! Wikiloc could be helpful as well.

    Thanks in advance to everyone on the ground who can report back about the current situation 🙏

    LIVE from the Camino Challenging but worth it (Camino Sanabres Granja de Moreruela - Santiago, 8 - 20 April)

    Thanks for your elaborate report! I started following you lately on instagram, as I'll be walking the Sanabrés myself in a couple of weeks. I also copied your report about the dog out of Oseira and put it on the forum here (didn't know you were here too). Didn't the numbers go up after Ourense?

    I'm leaving tomorrow for the Sanabres!

    I'll follow your posts with interest, @Camino Chrissy! As I will be following you soon on the Sanabrés. In 3 weeks from now. Buen Camino!

    Counting pilgrims on the Norte AGAIN

    You might happen to count me as a pilgrim, while I am not. 😅 I will be walking the Sanabrés half May and am having most of my training walks on (parts of) the Norte. However I prefer to avoid the Norte's asphalt where I can. To add my grain of salt: I stayed in albergue La Xana in La Caridad on...

    Alert Two reports of agressive dogs just after Oseira

    This was exactly my plan indeed. Just ask pilgrims who have spent the night there if they wouldn't mind to walk the first few kms out of Oseira together. But I think I know how it feels, @LuciaP. I used to be terrified as well. What @geraldkelly says is true, incidents are rare. But I also...

    Coastal alternatives to the Norte's asphalt

    I haven't checked if it was mentioned already, but there are also quite few alternatives to the Camino's asphalt between La Caridad and Tapia de Casariego. Look at these tracks on wikiloc...

    Alert Two reports of agressive dogs just after Oseira

    I agree. But I can't report something I haven't experienced myself. Will definitely do if I would meet those same dogs (but hopefully not).

    Alert Two reports of agressive dogs just after Oseira

    I'll be walking there in a couple of weeks as well. And planning to stay in Oseira. I hope the situation is solved by then, but I thought about trying to organize a group, so I won't walk alone there.

    Alert Two reports of agressive dogs just after Oseira

    Yes thanks, you are right, I forgot to mention that.

    Alert Two reports of agressive dogs just after Oseira

    I have been reading 2 different reports (on FB and instagram) about (an) agressive dog(s) just after Oseira. I'll post them here: In the group of @geraldkelly on FB (4 days ago): Hello lovely Via de la Plata group! I had a very unpleasant experience with 3 aggressive dogs just after the...

    Backpack is 2 kg too heavy TwT

    Ah, and one more thing: are you going to walk the Francés? Then you really don't need to take 2 liters of water with you. There are so many villages on the way that 1 liter should normally be enough.

    Backpack is 2 kg too heavy TwT

    And this. For example: I will take 2 pairs of shorts. When I arrive at the albergue in number 1, I shower, wash, get into number 2, wash number 1, sleep in number 2, walk the next day in number 2, arrive, shower, get into number 1, wash number 2, etc. Most of your clothes double that way: the...

    Backpack is 2 kg too heavy TwT

    I can echo the others here. No rules, as long as you are comfortable with your pack it's fine. But if I were you, I would leave some clothes home. If I count well (all together, including what you are wearing): - 2 towels - 4 T-shirts - 1 longsleeve - 1 fleece - 1 wind jacket - 1 poncho - 2...
