    Walking after heart surgery

    Hi everyone, I am in heart surgery recovery. It was open heart. Very taxing. I have walked four full Caminos and have done half of two others. I am normally very fit. I was wondering if others have done Caminos after open heart surgery and how did it go? Thanks. Ray Urbanhiker

    Backpack Transport on On Camino Inglés

    Hi, My girlfriend and I are doing the Camino Inglés in late Sept. 2015. Does anyone know, for sure, of backpack transportation from Ferrol and along the Camino. My girlfriend is small and carrying a backpack all the way is no fun. She, however, is Camino able, having done two Caminos already...

    Traffic from Lisbon to Porto

    Hi, I am doing the Camino Portuguese in Sept. 2014 and was curious, or concerned, about highway walking on the Camino from Lisbon to Porto.

    Starting in Lisbon

    Hello, I have written a couple time. This site is quite useful. I was wondering if anyone has walked from Lisbon to Vila Franca da Xira in one day, and how was it?

    Walking the Coast

    Hi, I have posted before. I am doing the Camino Portuguese in Sept and will go from Lisbon to Santiago. I am using John Brierley's book as a guide. My thought is to do the Alternate coast route from Vila de Conde to Tui instead of the recommended, or more common inland route. Any thoughts on...

    Spanish on the Le Puy Camino

    I was wondering if Spanish is common along the Le Puy Camino. I have been studying French for a few months and can construct some basic French phrases to help me along the way. I think I can order food, rooms, taxis, and follow train schedules and such. I did the Camino de Santiago last year...

    Health Directive

    Hi, We will be leaving for the Camino in a couple of weeks and were wondering about an Advance Health Directive giving each of us the authority to make health decisions for the other should something happen to either of us. While we do have them here for us in the United States we are unsure if...
