    The massacre of a dear resting place.

    People asking why but mindless destruction has no explanation. Here in the UK there is a popular hike along Hadrian's wall. Along the way is a place called Sycamore gap which is one of the most photographed trees in the world, it featured in Prince of thieves with Kevin Costner. Last year...

    Too late for dinner in SJPP?

    Curiosity piqued. What are these "activities"?

    Walking the Francés

    It's a song btw, not my poor attempt at poetry

    Walking the Francés

    You know you saw them but no-one ever listens They'll be long gone by the time the sun has risen You feel 'em lurking, hear 'em howling in the shadows Wreaking havoc on your perfect world They are the tricking trolls They got the bell that tolls Flash at the edge of your sight They only come out...

    WARNING if you're leaving Sarria tomorrow (4th October 2023) ⚠️.

    To your friend I recommend sheepdogs, about 10 should do it.

    Female lone traveller

    Exactly this. Also do not pre-book the lot, I booked each place one day ahead and it worked fine. That way I could adjust my distance each day based on how I felt and I stayed in some lovely places

    Final Walk

    As you approach Portomarin there is a choice of routes, virtually no difference in distance. But, take the right one. The left is very innocuous for a while then comes to a very steep drop with loose, slippery stones, long drops between steps (I saw some women going down on their bums), no...

    How to order Pinxtos?

    I think the only defining point of "pintxos" is they pin it to the plate with a cocktail stick

    Finding my way along the route

    "Almost impossible to get lost". Indeed it is but still possible. Back in 2019 I was walking through a town and on the way out when I saw a gentleman I knew by sight walking the opposite way alone. As you will all know you often see the same people at different times of the day or different...

    Descent into Molinaseca

    I actually fell on the way up! The path was partly overgrown so I didn't see a root protruding. Went down like a sack of spuds and cut my elbow so was not feeling my best as I started the descent which got harder and harder and seemed endless. As many have posted above my thoughts were "Never...

    Memorable Meals

    Fonfria was the one that sprang to mind for me. Good food and a great atmosphere

    LIVE from the Camino Animal tracks in snow - can someone identify?

    Werewolf obviously. Very common in Spain but they do not talk about it

    Tips for Tackling O Cebreiro Hill During Your Camino Walk

    I was so tempted to take the horse! No, not rustle, hire. As it was the walk was a challenge for a reason and a fellow peregrino stopped to ask if I was ok when I had to stop and looked genuinely concerned!! But a few stops and pacing and I made it. Still want to take the horse option though!

    When do most pilgrims feel like quitting the Camino de Santiago?

    When I got blisters. Bad, bad blisters. Would post a pic or two but you would ick! lol A lovely lady in a farmacia saved my Camino. Great advice and good choice of treatment

    Entrance to Portomarin

    As you approach Portomarin there is a choice of routes, the left one takes you down a rather treacherous path, steep steps, loose underfoot and narrows. I remember thinking I would not like doing it in the rain. This being the section, starts off easy enough
