    Forum Book Club - 1.3 - Walk in a Relaxed Manner (Joyce Rupp)

    Yes, this book is available through Book Depository.......I just checked. I read " Walk in a Relaxed Manner" before I walked my first Camino ( CF) in 2009. I found it quite helpful a few times, when I was faced with similar situations Joyce had mentioned. Especially the sound of snoring in...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Covid News for UK Travellers to Spain

    Does that also mean you are prepared to accept the risk you might be to the elderly ( and not so elderly) Spanish people as you walk through their villages?

    Camino Mozarabe 2016

    Hi Nick, I walked Granada to Finisterre in Sept -Nov 2012.........it was an amazing life experience, but it is a very lonely route, especially Granada to Merida. Accommodation might have changed in the past 3 years, but this is where I stayed in the first few days..........Pinos Puente at...

    Campanario Albergue municipal La Estacion

    I walked the Mozarabe in 2012 and stayed a night in the albergue beside the train station at Camponario. At that time it was a very functional building with about 20 -30 places. I had a room to myself, with 2 bunks in my room. Two Dutch ladies shared another room. We had cotton sheets ...

    Windswept's video of the VdlP - a perfect cure for insomnia

    A thousand thanks Windswept, for sharing your journey with us. I followed your blogs, and today have just watched your video. In 2012 I walked from Granada to Finisterre, seeing very few Pilgrims------reading your story enabled me to reminisce and relive my time in Spain. I now wonder how I...

    Granada or Seville

    Hi Jenny, I'm Heather's friend who walked the Mozarabe to Finisterre via the Sanabres last year. Yes, the Mozarabe was very difficult and very lonely-----an amazing life experience but certainly no walk in the park. I see you are from Sydney----I live in Perth, so if you send me a PM maybe I...
