    Post-arrest news in the case of Denise Thiem

    @domigee I'm confused. What are you freaking out about? Get a grip about what? I'm just trying to clarify so people don't think the pilgrim she was walking and went to mass with - the Italian man - was the person arrested.

    Post-arrest news in the case of Denise Thiem

    From the articles that I have read, the arrested individual was indeed questioned initially. However, he wasn't a pilgrim. The pilgrim you are talking about, the one she had been walking with, wasn't the man they arrested. The arrested man lives in that area and originally is from Madrid. His...

    Post-arrest news in the case of Denise Thiem

    A link to the NY Times article. Looks like identification is verified. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/13/world/europe/body-of-us-tourist-in-spain-is-found-and-arrest-is-made.html?_r=0 I've been a member of this forum for over a year. I don't post much. I remember first seeing Cedric's post in...

    Getting off the trail between Sarria and Portomarín

    I'm not sure if this is allowed or not, but I used this website when I was walking and found it helpful. http://www.gronze.com/guia-del-camino-frances/etapas/etapa-28-sarria-portomarin I stayed at the Casa do Rego July of last year. It was wonderful. The family that own it are extremely nice...

    LIVE from the Camino When your Camino doesn't go 'as planned'

    I still can't believe that I was ironically seated next to you at dinner last night! And then, running into you both this morning at that Albergue! It was great walking with you and your daughter. And hoping I see you both on the camino tomorrow.... Knowing the camino, I'm sure it will happen! :)

    LIVE from the Camino When your Camino doesn't go 'as planned'

    Lotta! How funny! I think we were on the same train. My blisters are doing better now, not great though. My hospitelero just made me a bath of water, salt and vinegar for them. (She's the best) I'm gonna try walking tomorrow though... So we will see how far I get! Hopefully I'll see you...

    LIVE from the Camino When your Camino doesn't go 'as planned'

    Dear ChilledKat: I began reading your posts before I started my own camino. I had read a lot of advice in the forum about listening to your body and not pushing yourself. For me, that has always been a gray line - what is a good push for the body and what is too much. Because I think we are...

    Naranco sites from Oviedo

    Thanks Laurie. Your posts have been a huge help to me and it was actually you who inspired me to make the Naranco "detour." I love old churches as well and am looking forward to this visit. I'm sure I'm going to love them. Falcon, thanks for the link. That helps me visualize where I need to be.

    Awesome! Thank you so much. I'll be sure to stop at the Tourism office and get a street map as well.

    Naranco sites from Oviedo

    Hi Tincatinker, Thank you for responding. I am planning on spending the night in Escamplero as I want to take it easy the first day. I am having trouble with the CSJ website though. When I go to add the Primitivo CSJ to my basket I get redirected to a domain support website. Same when I go...

    Naranco sites from Oviedo

    I understand I might have to backtrack a bit, but another thread has you going all the way back to the Cathedral in Oviedo and that seems a bit silly to me. Kiwi-Family, I actually don't have a CSJ guide. Do you know if that information is anywhere else? When I was planning my trip, it didn't...

    Naranco sites from Oviedo

    Hi, I'm starting my journey on Wednesday from Oviedo and wanted to inquire about visiting the Naranco sities. I don't get into Oviedo until 4pm on Tuesday. Is it difficult to walk to the sites from the Cathedral? I saw that some people have mentioned taking the #10 Bus up there, but unless...

    Primitivo vs Portuguese in end Aug

    Hi Fionele, I'm walking just a few weeks before you. (July 16-July 30). I can keep you posted on what it's like as far as crowds, weather and albergues filling up. My biggest concern has been albergues filling up - but now, as may start day approaches, I'm worried about pack weight. Right...

    Ticks

    I think most of the time you can't actually feel the ticks. I found a tick in the middle of my head a few weeks ago. (It had nothing to do with the Camino or Spain.) I was visiting friends in Georgia and while we walked through a few trees on the edge of a golf course, it's not like I had been...

    Class of 2014

    I'm walking the Primitivo in mid-July. Anyone else? Maybe I'll see some of you Frances walkers at the end of July near Santiago?

    Silly questions about the camino

    Thanks to everyone for responding. The information has been helpful. I bought my ticket today and off I go in mid-July. Very exciting and nervous and can't believe I'm actually going to do it. I have one more question. I'm guessing most of the albergues/private/hotels along this route don't...

    Silly questions about the camino

    So, I'm thinking of a spur of the moment trip beginning of July 2014 to do the Camino Primitivo. Sounds silly, but I watched a movie about it and been doing massive research since and feel like the camino is calling me. I have some free time, so I am thinking of just going for it. I'll be...
