    Advice on "parts to miss" so I can Experience Arrival into Santiago

    I would skip Burgos to León.

    Coming to the Camino Frances, a flood of tour groups

    These groups might not be taking Albergue bunk beds but I think that the price of our occasional private room will go up.

    A very wet day on the Camino Frances!

    We woke up to heavy rain at Viloria de Rioja and decided to continue with the plan and walk 24km to Villafranca-Montes de Oca. We wore ponchos all day and walked through mud. Some of the paths approaching town were not safe in the conditions. We didn't have 'flowing paths' but it was a longer...

    Alert Fires in Obanos - 30 minutes before Puente la Reina

    On the television news the Mayoress of Obanos is speaking about how the fires are affecting Obanos. I think there are a couple of fire zones.

    Alert Fires in Obanos - 30 minutes before Puente la Reina

    I walked into Puente la Reina today. Maximum temperature here is about 42°C at 6pm. I've just watched the news and they are talking about fires in Obanos - about 30 minutes walk before Puente la Reina. I've tried Googling to see if it's on the Camino path but I can't find anything recent...

    O Cebreiro

    We stayed at Albergue Casa Campelo and loved it. It was clean, quiet and friendly. O Cebreiro is such a charming place. We only did the 12km up the hill that day so we could enjoy more time there.

    The Botafumeiro

    Some Luggage Transfer Questions

    We used Camino Comodo. They use WhatsApp. So with Google Translate we had our to/from spiel and just modified the drop off/pick up Albergues. Worked fine for just €3 a day.

    O Cebreiro

    We stayed at Casa Compela in O Cebreiro last night. Roadworks are definitely NOT an issue. The only works that seem to be in progress at the moment is the Camino path as you leave. They're adding gravel/stone to the path and adding a few drains. Nothing at all in town. We had a great stay even...

    O Cebreiro

    Thanks! We'll be there in a week. Nice to know the roadworks are not a huge deterrent.

    Not getting it

    Maybe you need to take a few days off in a nice location or do half stages for a while and sightsee in the afternoons. Buen Camino

    O Cebreiro

    Is it possible La Faba has extended? My Pilgrim's guide says it has 66 beds. I think I'll take your advice in September when we're there.

    O Cebreiro

    Noisy? We'll be there in 2 weeks.
