    Via de la Plata/Sanabres

    Just an observation for those on or headed to the Via de la Plata or Sanabres. We spent 5 days from Salamanca to Montamarta just past Zamora (doing short stages). The second night in El Cubo we encountered ~20 pilgrims & they dispersed from there - we saw 1 of those on night 4 and 2 others on...

    Salamanca Bus Station

    I will be arriving in Madrid Sunday morning and taking a bus directly from the airport to Salamanca. I've looked at the maps but I'm not sure which bus station we will be arriving. We are staying in the old town and trying to figure out how far it is. Not sure whether to try to walk with jet...

    LIVE from the Camino Via de la Plata - shorter stages

    Started today to do ~2 1/2 weeks on the Via de la Plata trying to stay under 20K days. The guide says 10K to Santiponce but I think from Hotel Simon close to the cathedral, it adds a couple of K’s. This is not scientific, so please don’t ask me to prove. 🥴 We mis-read an arrow coming into...

    Just a shout out to the Correos Bag Transport - Three of us just returned from doing the Ingles & then the Finisterre/Muxia routes. We all lightened our load just a bit by sending one IKEA duffel bag (that I had used to check my pack, our poles, & some liquids on the flight over) forward each...

    Norte - Just Returned from a Great Experience!

    Before I left for the Norte, I read as much as I could find about the route, safety, women walking alone, etc. I would just like to report that I had a great experience. The waymarking was plentiful. I never felt threatened - I managed to get over there with a small canister of pepper spray in...

    Norte - Walking in the early Fall?

    I am trying to get a sense of how many people will be walking on the Norte in early Sept/Oct this year. I have walked the Frances 2 times with friends and once on my own in Oct/Nov when it was not crowded. I was familiar with the trail so I didn't have a problem with some solitude, but being a...
