    Early Morning Pilgrims - Suggestion

    We had a particularly loud and obnoxious man last year on the Camino Frances. I complained in a very pleasant (I hope) way to the hospitalero. His remedy was to call ahead to the next albergue and inform them of the number of people this guy had offended. At the next albergue he was denied a...

    Booking.com (Good service? any complaints?)

    Be REALLY careful to check the t&cs. Cancellation can range from 24 hours to one week. I got stung twice last year on cancelled bookings as I (stupidly) assumed the same terms applied to each booking. That said, it's a really good service and I would highly recommend it. They also have a...

    Eating vegan diet on the Camino

    I walked last year with my daughter who eats only a vegan diet. It was challenging at times. We stocked up on muesli/nut bars whenever possible. She ate a lot of fruit, nuts, and a lot of chips, Doritos and Oreos. Many of the larger towns had vegan/vegetarian restaurants. We googled them...

    Food on the Camino.

    Seek and ye shall find. I travelled with my vegan daughter this year (I'm a meat eater). With the exception of some very small towns, we found the food to be both excellent and diverse. If you want inexpensive food in Spain, you will generally get locally produced, seasonal food. Hence the...

    Peaceloving American...

    I spend a lot of time in Catalunya and without exception, in shops, bars & restaurants I am addressed in French. I've yet to figure that one out! (see photo, I'm the one in the middle)

    Are bed bugs a current problem?

    I"m cuurently on the Camino Frances. I have come accross 2 incidences. One at St Jean and another after Ponferrada. We have treated our packs & sleeping bags with citronell and tea tree oil. So far we"re clear. Fingers crossed.

    booking.com charging a cancellation fee

    I had a similar issue with a booking. I assumed that the usual Booking.com T&C's applied. As posted above, I've always found Booking.com a great way to book hotels.

    Any tips/recommendations for a vegan Camino Francés?

    I'm walking the Camino in two weeks time with my two daughters, one of whom is vegan. We spend a lot of time in Spain and have found that although eating out is difficult to navigate, even smaller supermarkets have a decent selection of vegan fare. There's always plenty of beans, caldo de...

    Injury - What to do when you can't train....

    I would really recommend getting to or closer to your ideal body weight before starting your trip. I walked three years in succession. I carried about 8% less body weight in the second year than the first. The difference it made was staggering ( or not staggering). The third year I returned...

    Rent a bike

    I am using a company called nava-rent.es. email info@nava-rent.es. Five day one way bike hire from Logrono to Leon is costing €150 per person including panniers/helmet/repair kit etc. I have been in touch with the guy (Javier) he's seems decent and will give you a quote by return of email...

    Foodie finds on the Camino!!

    I'd suggest that when you're in the larger cities and towns move away from the 'menu peregrino'. Check out tripadvisor for recommendations. Also Burgos is considered highly as a gastronomic destination and has food festival every year (can't remember the dates). I'd also recommend Calle...

    Real Pilgrims

    As frustrating as you found this, try not to let it interfere with your experience. People approach the Camino in different ways and it's not for you or me to judge them. A couple of years ago, I took a week out of my very busy life to walk from Logrono to Burgos. One of the days I got...
