    New members and old posts

    In a forum that celebrates a special place in the world, where everyone is equal and we all in the same effort to achieve the same destiny, for me, this is wrong. A newbiehas every right to write as much as he want. And why should I opened a new topic if there is one, even if it is old, that...

    Inglés June 2-6

    First of all, nice description of what I´m planning to be my next Camino. In Betanzos, where did you sleep? I saved the other acommodations that you refer on the other points but I think that you didnt mentioned where you stayed in Betanzos.

    Caminho Interior Português in 2020

    Thanks for all your help. But there was a change of plans and I´ll be doing the Camino Inglês instead of the CPI. There is a friend of mine that asked me if I could change my plans so he can join us and we all agreed. Time was the main reason to change it, the Inglês can be made in 5 or 6 days...

    Caminho Interior Português in 2020

    My initial plan is to start in Chaves and do the CPI, via Allariz, as I said in my first post. The user @amancio spoke about the Laza alternative, doing the Sanabrés.

    Caminho Interior Português in 2020

    Although I was planning to go via Allariz I can think in others routes. But can I get to Santiago in 7 days from Laza? Seems like to many kms to do in 7 days

    Raincoat or poncho?

    For me, poncho all the way. I made the mistake of not taking one in my last camino and, in a heavy rainy day before arriving Redondela, I was dry but the backpack, even with the rain protection, as wet. So next time I´ll buy a poncho for sure.

    My first Camino in April'19- Recommendations

    Today I started using my nem boots, that I received in the past Monday, a Bestard Trotter II. A 12 kms hike in road and forest tracks. Even using hiking socks, by Lurbel, I had 2 not blisters, but beginning of blisters. That medium pain that you know if you walk 2 or 3 more kms will become a...

    My first Camino in April'19- Recommendations

    I will start in Valença because of the feeling of beginning in Portugal, just a simbolic thing. But I will not sleep in Valença, my first stop will be in Porriño. In Redondela we choose an albergue named Conserveira...

    My first Camino in April'19- Recommendations

    Hum, that's true, the traditional Albergues interesse accept rreservation. I call them Albergues because they call themselves that. For example, in Porrino I will stay in a place called "Albergue Camiño Português". Other one, in Caldas de Reis, is called "Albergue Agarimo". They are very...

    My first Camino in April'19- Recommendations

    Thank you all for the feedback. One of the backpacks I saw and liked is the Lowa Alpine Airzone 35:45. Nice and comfortable, main part of the weight is all in the hips. Any of you already try one of these? I took your advice, and the previous ones, and already booked all the accommodations...

    My first Camino in April'19- Recommendations

    Thanks to all for your kind answers. My concern is not carrying the backpack, is knowing which type will be suitable to make the Camino. Another doubt, by double socking you mean two pair of socks or a specific model of socks? I bought a pair of Lurbel B-Max that have done great in hikings in...

    My first Camino in April'19- Recommendations

    First of all, thanks for taking your time to answer me. I´m following your advice and I will check on booking acommodations with free cancelation, it´s a very good ideia. With that I´m able to see how the things go during the Camino and be prepared for any setbacks. I´m a little prone to...
