    Winter Clothing for Camino Frances

    Hi all, I am seriously thinking of starting the Frances from SJPD to Santiago next week. I’ve taken some time out from work and want to make best use of it. What I am curious to know is what sorting of clothing and sleeping bag pilgrims take in the winter and will my 33L pack used for...

    Why are people and some pilgrims so rude in the cathedral?

    I think saying the thread is a making you sick is perhaps OTT. I merely started the threa saying why can’t people show the same respect in the cathedral that they show on the Camino.

    Why are people and some pilgrims so rude in the cathedral?

    Having read the various posts - it makes me think that the cathedral should put flyers up in different languages asking people to give seats up for the elderly and infirm, not to ‘reserve seats’ respect other people during prayer... and state that the security staff could eject people

    Why are people and some pilgrims so rude in the cathedral?

    Sorry I was not clear - look dressed as pilgrims as opposed to tourists visiting Santiago.

    Why are people and some pilgrims so rude in the cathedral?

    The people I expect to show more respect are the ones dressed like they’ve walked a fair distance.

    Why are people and some pilgrims so rude in the cathedral?

    On the Camino everyone takes care of everyone. Yet every time I have been to the cathedral (3 Caminos), people are so rude. The savings of seats by pilgrims for others is one very clear example. I see pilgrims hobbling into the catherdral and yet for some pilgrims all acts of generosity...

    Starting the Ingles on 5th May

    I stayed at presedo and then still expected a hard morning, despite the new route, with the plan to stay at hospital de Bruma. However I was in hospital de bruma by 1015 so then walked to sigueiro. I was told the xunta have agreed to build a new albergue between de Bruma and sigueiro. A very...

    Share taxi from Biarittz Airport on 30th June

    Very good idea. They are flying in from Southampton, though no doubt there are other flights arriving around the same time.

    Starting the Ingles on 5th May

    Hi all, After a late night flight into A Coruña I am planning to start the Ingles from Ferrol on the 5th May. Curious to know if anyone else has plans to do the Ingles around the same time. Aim will be to walk on through Santiago to Finisterre & Muxía.

    Camino Ingles between Christmas and New Year

    Thanks frankieballz, your feedback is really helpful. Ok, I am going to consider options. Perhaps look at a segment of another Camino. The weather (I think) I can cope with, but I am not sure I am looking for solitary journey.

    Camino Ingles between Christmas and New Year

    I am very tempted to do the Ingles, from ferrol, starting after after Christmas Day and arriving in Santiago for new year. My only concern is that there will be very few pilgrims for company. Has anyone walked the ingles at this time of year and how many pilgrims did they see prior to Santiago?

    Selfies with Saint James

    For me its simple, as along as you don't disturb others (particularly those their to worship) then I am relaxed about it . The problem with cameras is when flashes are going off all over the place and people are towards the front obstructing views of others when recording video. Though it...

    Selfies with Saint James

    That I completely agree with, it's a lack of respect to others who are there to worship at, appreciate etc the Mass.

    Selfies with Saint James

    About 10 years ago (long enough ago that I can't remember specifically when) I was in Sri Lanka at major Buddhist temple. My daughter was taking photos of her self with statues of buddhas. A monk proceeded to tell her this was inappropriate (which I completely understand). But then a big...

    Improvising one's accommodations - is that crazy talk?

    I did the Portugues over Easter, which was crazy busy from Tui onwards. After Tui, I had to reserve one place in advance and had to go searching for a pension in Padron after trying 3 different albergues which could not accommodate 3 of us. Otherwise I prefer to improvise. I would hope its...
