    Best Time to walk the Via de La Plata

    Planning on starting the VdlP in the spring of 2019. ( mid March for six or seven weeks ). I see a lot of people with great experiences in the fall but that is not an option for me right now. Any problem with the spring.

    Food on the Camino del norte

    I just completed the Norte and there are countless places to get great food. . I have to say this, I was highly disappointed with the albergues kitchen facilities . As a " general rule " I found that several albergues that advertised having a kitchen in fact had very limited or next to no...

    Recommendations for a non crowded ‘pilgrimage’

    It very well could be. Is it supported by hostels oblong the way similar to the more traditional Caminos . If so is there a guide book. I see several hiking books on the market. Do they list albergues ???

    Recommendations for a non crowded ‘pilgrimage’

    This is not so much a response as a question. My wife and I have walked the Frances , Portuguese , Finisterra , Muxia, and the Primitivo . We enjoyed every one for different reasons. . The only common thread was that the people you meet are spectacular . We met an older couple on the Norte...

    Pack spraying

    Glad you looked into it but the short answer is no, I found no independent research to support ( or rebuff ) the claims . In all fairness I did not look for additional info. Like you I was skeptical . I would rather dunk my bag in permetherin but my wife will not allow it. Lol Again, to be...

    Pack spraying

    I agree with not fretting, I too give the albergue a quick inspection and on two occasions walked out to select another. Not using the blankets may also be a reason why we do so well. Bugs will be around regardless of how well everyone tries to stop them. Be smart , be cautious, and do a Camino .

    Pack spraying

    I just completed the Camino Norte. I sprayed my sleeping liner ( that's all I used ) as well as my pack. I did not experience a single bite, nor did my wife. I did the same on the Primitivo, French, Muxia, Portuguese, ant Finisterra. My wife may have had one bite on the French but that is up...

    Unplugged vs. fully plugged in

    Starting Norte tomorrow, taking one phone between my wife and I. Limited contact with family back in Canada but emergencies do happen. Rarely used for reservations as we tend to " hope for the best " and it seems to work out well. Buen Camino

    Conflicted about going, plane leaves Friday?

    Just go and get on the plane, I watched a 70 yr old man holding a stick at one end while his completely blind brother ( also about 70 yrs old ) held the other end . They walked the entire Camino Frances in 2015. Work within your limitation and enjoy every step. I leave tomorrow for the Norte...
