Having followed several live threads with mounting excitement, I have just completed my first day on the Mozarabe from Almería.
I have set up a Find Penguin but will try and copy here too.
After deciding that my pack was heavy and thinking about sending a jacket home, a local pilgrim told me...
Hi, I've never worn Hokas before but am aware of how many people merit them as comfy footwear. This link came up on FB and the savings are enormous. What do you think?
I'm normally a 41 European size or 7 UK, so will have to hope the conversion is accurate.
This may have already been posted and I missed it, but information for those of you starting the Portuguese Camino soon.

On my third attempt, I have just started the Camino Portugues. First two attempts scuppered by OH's illness and then his broken arm. This time a big thank you to him after my Easyjet flight was cancelled, so we drove 6 hours to Bordeaux to catch a alternative flight. For any who would like to...
Hi,
due to unforeseen circumstances (OU broke his arm), I'm postponing my walk on the camino Portuguese Coastal for a second time (third time lucky?). So my question to those who have walked it during the above months (especially if you have done both options), which of the above would be...
Is anyone interested in sharing a minibus from the airport to SJPP on 3rd July? Cost €16.50 each for 8 people. I'm not willing to book, unless minibus full as I'd have to pay the full €130.
I'll be starting from SJPP on 4th July with my 15 year old grandson and walking for 2 weeks. Are any other youngsters planning to be there around this time?
I wonder if anyone has the answer to help our planning? I intend to walk Porto to Santiago in October and then meet my husband in A Coruña so that we can walk the Inglés together. We think we can park at the station for a couple of weeks ; has anyone tried this?
After five months, I have, at last, got round to sorting my Camino photos, trying to make a slide show so that my friends don't have to wade through everything. I've got as far as Astorga and would really like to know the name of this church. I've searched on the web, but no success yet. Any...
Hi, I was informed yesterday, by a friend who is a couple of days ahead of me (I'm in Ponferrada), that pilgrims already en route can continue. Can anyone confirm this? I have one more region to enter, Galicia, will this be allowed?
Please keep your answers to facts, not to whether I should be...
Another question. Counting down now, only 14 week until I can start. I'm intending to take the bus from Rennes to Bayonne, which arrives at silly o'clock in the morning. After a couple of hours there will be a train to SJPP, arriving around 8 a.m. I had originally thought that I'd be...
Hi,
I wonder if this is thought of as an 'OK' thing to do when walking the Camino. I'll be starting my first - Camino Frances - at the end of May and wondered whether anyone else has used this personal experience of walking as a way to also fund raise for charity? Last year, my husband and I...
