    Where to stay in/near Puente Domingo Flores

    I just received an email from Rosa cancelling our reservation there for this coming August. (Personal reasons, she said. I hope everything is ok.) Any recommendations for a place to stay nearby?

    Seeking advice on walking the alternative route through Las Medulas mining site

    My husband and I are hoping to walk the alternative route up to and through Las Medulas in August (the mine site itself). Wise Pilgrim (and a couple of comments in the app) say that the alternative a bit confusing as far as following markers. And it looks quite a bit longer than the standard...

    Staying at Rectoral de Castillon to break up stage from Monforte de Lemos to Chantada

    I’d really like to split up the big stage from Monforte to Chantada and I see several recommendations to call the Rectoral from Pineiro. I emailed them about that, and they said they’d supply me with the phone number of a taxi—they don’t do transfers. (That’s fine.) I’ve looked on a couple of...

    Anyone have info on doing a Pilgrimage from Iona, Scotland to Lindisfarne, England?

    I’d love to walk from Iona to Lindisfarne, but it seems that I’ll need to stitch together several shorter walks. Does anyone have any leads on maps or planning tools? Even better, are there groups that do this path? I would love to learn from someone who knows the history of the many historic...

    Tui: Fish cookies from nuns on Sunday?

    I’m arriving in Tui tomorrow morning and just realized that it’s a Sunday. Will I still be able to buy cookies from the nuns at the Convento de las Clarisas?

    How to get taxi at Santiago airport

    I’m flying into Santiago airport at around 17:30 on a Friday. I will need to take a cab to my hotel in old Santiago. Is there a line of taxis waiting at the airport or do I need to call someone for a pickup? If I need to call, can anyone provide the number of a taxi they’re used, please?

    Convento in Hebron

    I would like to spend my last night of the Spiritual Variant in Hebron. I’ll be staying in Padron the night before, so it’ll be a quick walk out to the monastery from town. How early should I plan on arriving to ensure that I get a bed? It looks like there are only 20 beds, and I know it’s a...

    Festival flags from Hospital de Órbigo

    I was walking through Hospital this morning and the streets were festooned with hundreds of gorgeous medieval flags. Looks like they’re having a festival soon. The stores were closed, so I don’t know if the flags were available for purchase anywhere in town. Does anyone know if they can be...

    Wise Pilgrim App and mileage calculation between destinations

    I’m three days into the Frances and can’t figure out how to calculate mileage between destinations. Last Fall, I was able to touch and hold a town name and it would set that town as the starting point and then adjust the mileage going forward. So, for example, I’m in Akerreta now and I would...

    Advice on getting two beds at San Anton convent

    Last Fall, I walked through San Anton and fell in love. Toward the end of May, I'll be walking through again and would love to stay in the tiny albergue in the ruins. Most of the posts I'm seeing are pretty old, but I'm guessing you have to be there pretty early to be able to stay there. Has...

    Have you walked the Invierno to avoid the Sarria crowds?

    I'm walking my second Frances in May/June of this year. I walked it last Fall from SJPP to Fisterra and Muxia and was jarred by the "conga line" of people who joined up in Sarria. The Invierno sounds like it might be a way to miss the crowds on the way to Santiago, but many of the forum posts...

    How can I buy an Altus poncho/jacket in the US?

    I'm hoping to walk the Frances again in April/May. This past Fall when I walked, my Patagonia Torrentshield wetted out miserably on the way down from Cruz de Ferro in sleet and heavy rain. I'd like to try the Altus that I saw numerous times, but I can't find a place in the US to buy one. I did...

    Camino or Pilgrim Museum on the Meseta?

    I've been back from my Frances/Fisterra/Muxia Camino for less than a week and I'm already getting a bit fuzzy on some of the details. There was a museum or official center in a town on the Meseta that had small display "rooms" in which you could watch videos about Camino history or legends...

    Recommend AirTags for Pack/luggage transfers

    We had our bags transferred each day on our Frances and were very pleased with the service. However, while we were walking to Fisterra, our bags were picked up by the wrong taxi company and were delivered to a different hotel. If we hadn’t been able to see where the bags were using the Find My...

    Unable to get Finisterre certificate

    Yesterday was a national holiday in Spain, so the municipal albergue in Finisterre was closed. They opened after we needed to leave town to get to Muxia, so we were unable to get our Finisterre certificate. Someone suggested that I email them a copy of our passports snd our credentials and they...

    Translation please?

    We are walking to Finisterre/Fisterra and saw this in a couple of places on the way out of Santiago. Google translate is baffled. Does anyone know what it says?

    Santiago presents for little granddaughters

    Here’s an unusual question. What do I bring as gifts to my four young granddaughters when I return? They range in age from 2-8 years old. T-shirts will be outgrown in a matter of months, little trinkets (most likely made in China) will be forgotten soon enough. I’m thinking a Spanish doll or...

    Any chance of a store with men’s Hoka Speedgoats in Leon?

    My husband’s Speedgoats are getting worn out really fast. Are there any outfitter stores in Leon that might have a replacement pair? We will be in Sahagun tomorrow.

    Donate gently used boots while on the Camino

    I’m in Fromista right now and have decided that my Hoka hiking boots are too narrow for me now. They are gently used, but in great shape. I’d like to give them to someone who might be able to use them. If I took them to an albergue, would they put them in a free box for someone who could use...

    Can you buy a sack lunch at Orisson if you're not a guest there?

    We aren't staying at Orisson, but are planning on having breakfast there. Do they sell sandwiches to go? If they don't, we're prepared to buy bread, cheese, etc in SJPP and make our own lunch at one of our rest breaks on the way to Roncesvalles.
