    How hard is the Via de la Plata?

    Heather, how did you contact the hospitalero from Olivia de Placencia and did he pick you up at the turn off to the track to OdP? Also, similarly with the hospitalero in Aldeneuva del Camino - how did you contact him to be collected?

    galisteo to ourense in 19 days - realistic?

    Thanks so much for the information. I've checked out the Madrid - Plasencia link and can see how it might work well. Would anyone know what a taxi cost from Placencia to Galisteo (about 22kms) would be?

    galisteo to ourense in 19 days - realistic?

    I am hoping to walk part of the VdlP in September 2015. I'm trying to decide where to start from in order to meet my daughter in Ourense on 28 September and then walk into Santiago for the 3 October. Where is a good place to start? I'm reasonably fit, have walked the camino frances twice, so...

    Bus route from bayonne to SJPdP

    I also attempted to book online for the train from Bayonne to St Jean but the search came up with Bayonee to Cambo les Bains .

    WisePilgrim app for iPhone

    Has anyone had any experience of using the Wise Pilgrim app (free) which provides info on stages of the camino (accommodation, bars, water fountains, etc)?? Would this replace a book guide?

    Blessings for Cruz de Fierro

    While on the Camino, staying at Rabinal, we were asked to only leave stones at Cruz de Fierro. People leave a lot of 'rubbish' (although it may mean something to them) and there has to be the occasional clean-ups where old bikes, socks, boots... are taken away. Please, don't leave ANY rubbish on...

    Thermals in April/May 2013?

    I took pure silk thermals (long johns and t-shirt) - very very lightweight, compact but worth it when required. WOrth the money and, if looked after, is a good investment. I purchased mine online from NZ Nature and they sometime have specials. Worth investigating.

    An unholy year on the Camino Frances

    I returned about one month ago from walking SJPDP to Santiago - the amount of litter, graffiti and evidence of human toiletting was astounding! I also noticed that some pilgrims must have felt OK about leaving what I would consider rubbish (old luggage tags, old boots, bottles, etc) as an...
