    The culture has changed...sadly

    I am the “Ensuitepilgrim “ - I have had the experience of basic albergues when nought else was available- and I resolved never to use them again; I am able to use private albergues or small hotels and when organising many Caminos for my friendship groups I find this is the only way it is...

    Tour Groups

    Don’t throw your money away on “ COMPANIES” - Use the Correos for luggage transfer - used them for 10 years ,impeccable- Booking.com for accommodation plus the odd e Mail direct . Important to book first 5 stays on the Frances - not much there. Buen Camino.

    Women not as strong as men.

    And I think that last year there were more women than men completing their Camino. Always find the courage, endurance and company of females on the Camino rewarding and exemplary.
