    Camino fatigue?

    Hi Luka - For many years I spent holidays in a beautiful village in France. Every time I visited I felt at peace there no matter what was going on in my life and I always came away renewed and refreshed. Then one year, like you and your experience of the Camino, I realised that I had lost its...

    Age to Check In to Albergue?

    I’m so sad to hear of your wife‘s accident. The night before our last day into Santiago last autumn I slipped and broke two ribs and like your wife had to take a taxi to Santiago via the general hospital there. It’s heartbreaking when it happens. I wish you all well. That’s the Camino.

    May/June or September/October on the Camino Frances?

    I walked the Camino Frances in September/October and the Camino Portuguese in May. I preferred the autumn Camino. The memory of starting to walk in the darkness of the early morning and then watching the breaking of the dawn each day will live with me for ever.

    This is the one I got. It’s really light but I don’t have the weight details. I think they do a men’s equivalent. Women's Titan Pass™ 2.5L Shell

    LIVE from the Camino Live from the Camino Frances

    Leon to O’Cebriero - First impressions of O’Cebreiro as a bit touristy with its prominent souvenir shop can be misleading. We found it to be a very welcoming village. We ate with a group of pilgrims at a lovely friendly restaurant, Meson Anton halfway down the village on the right, and had our...

Huge portions! On the second day we ate at El Capriche on Pl. de S Marcelo - €16 for more manageable...

    LIVE from the Camino Walk into Leon

    We did it yesterday and it’s absolutely fine. I was dreading the long walk on hard pavements but it’s much easier than the walks into Logroño or Burgos. Hope that helps.

    LIVE from the Camino Live from the Camino Frances

    Approaching Leon Hello peregrinos. Tomorrow we will be in Leon taking a rest day. Since Burgos it has been easier to find supermarkets open and restaurants serving early meals. It seems to be easier to get beds too as there are more albergues in this part of the Camino, though tonight beds at...

    LIVE from the Camino Live from the Camino Frances

    Hello peregrinos. We left SJPP on 15/9 and I thought I would post something about our experience which might be of help to those a week or two behind. Most people seem to be booking a bit ahead. Some aren’t and are finding beds though there are pinch points along the way. We ran into difficulty...
