Camino Invierno 2023 May 3rd. "Almost at the Top" Heading to the Albergue at Villavieja. Castle Cornatel up on the peak to the right.

On my first Camino with my granddaughter, we used to stop each afternoon and have our Cervezas. She would order them each day speaking Spanish. And we must’ve been about halfway through and on this day she told me “Nana, it’s time for you to...

I am on the Camino and hit a wall recently. I took a taxi to Leon for an extra rest day. That day my husband of 46 years walks the day's 24K plus 18K more (that is more than a marathon!) to surprise me and be with me that evening. He is 70. I...

Like.
Albergue San Nicholas in Larrasoaña (between Zubiri and Pamplona) was truly exceptional - best shower I've had in a long time and their pilgrim dinner was superb. -
Akwell reacted to Paul McAmino's post in the thread Stop Las Herrerías, La Faba or La Laguna before O'C with Like.
Hi design4life, It’s a great question. I ended up staying in Laguna, and walked the 2k into O Cebriero before I even was awake enough to realize I was there. A coffee set that straight. I wanted to take the climb in small chunks, so I stayed in...

I hope this helps? I'm not sure I'd like to repeat Vega de Valcarce - O'Cebreiro. I know it's short but it was a little too tough for me to be honest. Next year I'll be stopping at La Faba and walking to Tricastela the next day (26.3 kms) and...

I walked from Acebo to Ponferrada to Villafranca, then the next day I ended at LaFaba, which was plenty hard imo. I loved the muni there. It was beautiful. Then the next morning we headed up to O'Cebreiro after a good night's sleep and had more...

Akwell reacted to Rebekah Scott's post in the thread Roncesvalles and Mansilla seem to be the bed crunch trouble spots with Like.
I wonder what percentage of pilgrims during these massive overflow days are first-time pilgrims. IMHO, a huge number of those pilgrim beds are occupied by people who keep coming back over and over again, wondering why so many people are on the...

Akwell reacted to Bradypus's post in the thread LIVE from the Camino Sick on my first day of Camino with Like.
Don Jose Maria Alonso - the famous garlic soup maker and priest of San Juan de Ortega - once insisted I swallow about 150ml of cheap Spanish gin in a single gulp after I had spent most of the day sweating and vomiting with what probably was...
