    Tent camping the whole Camino

    do you remember any of this albergues? I'm putting together a list.

    Can you camp along the Camino?

    I thought it was obvious that if you are not staying in the official campground, there is the same one night stay as in the albergue dorm. I didn't want to use different words (camping, tenting, bivouacing, bivvying, wild camping, stealth camping...) because I think it would be too confusing...

    Camping legally on the Francés – albergues that allow to pitch a tent?

    this list of campgrounds may be a bit old. I have gone through it and is seemes that campgrounds in mansilla and arzua have closed; I also haven't been able to find any info on the camping on monte do gozo. the prices cited on campground sites are higher also in most cases, unless these are...

    Can you camp along the Camino?

    thank you for this! I am collecting options. I know situations change and hospitaleros change, but if there is a list, you at least know there are options. I wouldn't expect an albergue to change hours or anything else to accommodate tent pilgrims. I would expect everything would be the same...

    Can you camp along the Camino?

    this is exactly what I have been thinking while updating my list of albergues with the albergues which have been known to allow tent camping and with official campgrounds. the situation is much better then I thought, actually. I appreciate info on any more albergues that allow tent camping. san...

    ATM fees - which ones are a rip-off?

    I thought that might be the case. ripping us off at the ATMs. pilgrims have reported that you need to take out the card immediately after the transaction, otherwise the machine will eat it and possibly destroy it - a security measure.

    ATM fees - which ones are a rip-off?

    what about stepping inside a bank (if it's there and it's open) and withdrawng the cash from the cashier? do they charge any extra fees there too? (apart from the exchange rate which is no issue for euro-using countries.)

    Wikiloc oddities, searching, tips, help

    that is brilliant, thank you! if you scroll-wheel-click on the author of the trail, it will also open that trail in a new tab. the trick now is to remember this and not left-or-right-click the link.

    Wikiloc oddities, searching, tips, help

    thanks for the second tip, @islandwalker! it's still way too much clicking and pottering around, but at least it's a solution. fingers crossed this function will get restored.

    Wikiloc oddities, searching, tips, help

    I haven't been really following the buen camino app saga cause my phone is luckily, or unlickily, pretty stiff when it comes to apps (it's a microsoft so no surprise there). I use a computer. I can imagine that it's even less friendly on a lot smaller screen with no precise mouse for targeting.

    Wikiloc oddities, searching, tips, help

    yup. wikiloc has updated its appearance and functions. not all are better, imo. there is no more world map as far as I could determine. instead, there is a new explore function. if I try searching for trails and click on explore, it opens a pop-up which offers me trails in different countries...

    Can someone please enlighten me?

    huh. I needed a really good look at the sign to understand what it wants me to do. then I remembered I saw similar arrangements on local roads in france (basically one-ways with a bit of space to avoid the oncoming car) where there is no space to really stop and make a turn. they came up with a...

    Can someone please enlighten me?

    :) this is actually the result of the narrow streets in the old centres of towns. there is no two-way traffic. slovenia is not really a problem here, I've been to prague. :p

    Can someone please enlighten me?

    hehe, good one. it's actually easier if you don't read it. it can be rivaled by this slovenian sign which means you need to make a right and a left before you can make that left turn to get you on the street you want.

    Can someone please enlighten me?

    we have two similar signs in slovena, a blue one and a red one. the blue sign indicates water protection area. it must be accompanied by two explanatory boards (to how many kilometres of the road it applies and the emergency number in case of spillage). the red sign indicates traffic forbidden...

    Where did you walk ( locally ) in 2019

    in september I've been just across the border in istria, croatia. a local society there (Camino Istria) is uncovering, recovering and promoting old routes in and around istria and I've been invitied to participate in a week-long walk. lovely if (still) a bit thin on the services. there's even...

    what is this pilgrim badge?

    when a friend of mine bought an abandoned house/farm somewhere in dolenjska region of slovenia, he found lots of 18C pilgrim badges in various places inside. if I remember correctly, they were mostly dedicated to mary. there were lots of popular marian sanctuaries in slovenia at the time. some...
