    Monte de Gozo - statue commemorating visit of pope has been removed

    It is calles Monte del Gozo (Hill of Joy, Monxoi, Freudenberg, etc) for a reason. The joy experienced in at long last watching the Cathedral's Spires (Las torres de la Catedral). Sadly, the original view was spoiled years ago with the building of high rise flats interrupting the view.

    Guimaras - Ponte de Lima

    I am not walking from Porto. I am going to Porto first to spend 3 days and know the city. It´s really cheap from Madrid (I live in London but I am spanish, so in Madrid now visiting family).

    Guimaras - Ponte de Lima

    I am going to Porto first because it's easier (and cheaper) to reach from Madrid (coach £30 euros), and I plan to spend 3 nights just knowing the city and preparing "mentally" for the Camino. But I plan to start the Camino from Guimaraes, or Braga if from Guimaraes is complicated

    How long does Madrid Airport Customs take?

    By the way, the direct trains to Pamplona leave from Atocha, no from Chamartin (from here you have to change trains, usually in Vitoria. And it is far from "express", it takes for ever, 7.5 hours +). From Atocha there are a few express trains to Pamplona daily, taking around 3.5 hours. They are...

    How long does Madrid Airport Customs take?

    The metro takes far longer than 25 min. Just to change lines in Nuevos Ministerios might take you half this time, this metro station is really big and confusing. In this station converge 3 tube lines plus 6 subterranean rail lines (Renfe). The Madrid- Metro webpage says 36 min...but it takes...

    How long does Madrid Airport Customs take?

    Two and a half hours for passport control and to arrive to Chamartin is a bit short, too short actually. But you might make it if you have only hand-luggage, and you rush leaving the plane. . What terminal are you flying into? From T4 there is train service direct to Chamartin, two stops only...

    Hi, I want to start right after Easter. From Porto, so most probably will spent Easter in Porto, and start on Monday. Last year did the Camino Francés, and Easter or any mayor Bank Holidays in Spain, the route is a bit crowded and the albergues get full

    Camino Portuges: signaling and sleeping bags

    Hi all, I did the Camino France from Saint Jean Pied a Port in April. As told I had my sleeping bag but found out that a sleeping liner would have been enough. Only in two albergues there is no blankets, in Roncesvalles and in O Cebrerio (but the heating was on in both, and hot), but if you ask...
