    Finished Day 1 of Coastal Route. Any other walkers?

    Hi Fran, I agree with Jill the best place to meet other walkers is in the albergues - even if you just mixed it up for one or two nights you might me a few people. I just finished that route & during the day I only ever came across a handful of people but at night people seemed to come out of...

    Esposende to Viana do Castelo - Senda Litoral?

    I walked this today with the aid of the Trekopedia Team app and had no problems at all. The app is excellent & has saved me on a few occasions. About 10k from Viana do C however I abandoned the app & took off the shoes and walked in the sea until I neared Viana. One of my favourite days so far...

    Problems in the Caminho de Fátima...

    Rodrigo, I'm so sorry to hear this. I am planning to walk the Camino to Fatima this year from Lisbon and then on to Tomar to get back on the route to Santiago. I found your website so helpful and I really appreciate the work that you all do to keep these routes waymarked. I too will email the...

    IT (iliotibial band) Syndrome: Good ways to deal with this?

    I'm a fellow sufferer with IT band syndrome and also weak glutes. I bring a tennis ball with me on the camino and I use this instead of the foam roller on the glutes - might be worth checking it out with your physio if you could bring something small but similar with you when you are on the...

    Sanabres Solo?

    Last September I walked from Merida to Santiago solo & walked the Sanabres route. There were a core group of people every day & while I usually walked on my own each day there was always company in the evenings. The closer I got to Santiago the busier the albergues got. I often find on the...

    Dreamy Portuguese Pictures- want to spend your day dreaming all things Camino

    Beautiful photos that have invoked beautiful memories of my Portuguese Camino. Perhaps its time for me to return and do the coastal route next.

    Are you a secret Julie Andrews????

    I sang the whole way along my recent trip on the via de la plata. Felt safe in doing so because I thought there was no one near. Many a cyclist caught me out!! and I think I scared a few spanish farmers and animals along the way too!! Hard not to sing as I was in such good spirits.

    Question about food at Orrison

    I can't remember what i had but I'm coeliac & do remember that when I mentioned that they organised an alternative for dessert which was great & they reassured me that the rest of the meal was ok. Mightn't be the highest standard to set but i'm always very appreciative when i'm not unwell the...

    Differences between C Portugues and C Frances

    If you are starting from Lisbon there will be fewer people on the route in comparison to the Camino Frances. Also as there tends to be fewer options re where to stay you tend to meet the same people from day to day and in the albergues. I loved this about the Camino Portugues - while there were...

    How many stamps are required to receive a certificate of completion Compostela?

    Last year I had only collected 1 stamp a day from St Jean to Santiago (occasionally picking up an extra stamp here or there) - I did get my compostella but was told that I should have collected two for each day from Sarria regardless of having walked from St Jean. As mentioned earlier it is very...

    Pamplona during San Fermin

    I walked through Pamplona on the first day of San Fermin last year. There was a great buzz walking up to Pamplona and I saw a few fellow pilgrims walking up the main route so I decided to go for it and follow. Maybe a mistake! It was madness. A few times people were pulling at the side of my...

    New and Old trail into Portomarin

    I walked the new route this year out of curiosity. I found it steep but manageable but will avoid it the next time. I would imagine if you were tired and legs were weary that it would be tricky

    Name of Albergue in Sansol please? :)

    My feet have happy memories of this albergue too - loved the foot pool!

    Woman alone on Portuguese Camino

    I walked the route last year from Lisbon and found it very well way marked. Perhaps there aren't as many way marks as on the Frances but on the Frances on a straight stretch of road with no turns or anywhere else to go you could get multiple way marks. I did use the Brierly book and that was...

    new Albergue La Finca in Poblacion

    I stayed here in July. Lovely Albergue (very interesting design) & lovely garden to relax in. It was very quiet as I don't think it's in too many guide books as yet. I did think the food was only average and didn't have a great choice - but I could have just been unlucky.

    Gluten free food

    Hi i'm coeliac & survived this years camino with only two "episodes". I do react quiet badly to gluten. For safety on the pilgrim menus i used to stick to the ensalata mixta for starters & flan for desert but used to get some variety for mains. I always bought my own breakfast of fruit & yogurts...
