    What is the best city to fly into to begin CF?

    I would have to ask where are you coming from? There is no train from Spain. The rail gauges are different! Cf Canfranc for Somport crossing on Arles/ Aragones route and Hendaye on Northern route. The railway track from Bayonne to SJPdP was taken out by severe storms and flooding a few years...

    Continue Primitivo or Finisterre after Covid

    My only concern for you is that the day after Fonsegrada is a "leg wrecker" at the best of times. (remember the climb into Fonsegrada) You might not be fit for the ascents and descents. And after Covid you will be surprised how heavy your legs feel and how breathless you might be on the climbs...

    Reserving at Casa da Fernanda

    David, my advice is book now. There are only 14 beds. And everything you have heard is true. And there is no WiFi. So if you need to answer lots of “important” emails don’t go there! and though Fernanda takes reservations this extraordinary woman finds an occasional pilgrim passing who needs her...

    London- Lyon- Le Puy Summer 2014? Plain..Train? HELP

    I will now be travelling with 3 people I met last year. We have a taxi booked from the airport to Le Puy for €180. Travelling in style to our destination! The real advantage is arriving two hours earlier than the trail and having time to get our bearings.

    Is it ok for a gay man to walk the Camino

    Hape kirkling's book is a best seller in Germany. He is a celebrity, a comedian and gay. His book is one of the reasons so many Germans walk I suspect. It's a good read. "Ok then I'm off, losing and finding myself on the Camino de Santiago " or something close. I shared a pilgrim's meal one...

    LIVE from the Camino La Faba or O'Cebreiro?

    I was glad to get to la Faba as it was a hot afternoon and had just run out of water. We cooked a communal meal and enjoyed the ambiance of the place and the church and mass. The albergue did not open until 3pm and there was a long queue waiting to check in. Exhausting! I came face to face with...

    Stay in Saugues or La Clauze?

    How many do you call "lots" ? So if there are how many at the pilgrims mass before we feel under pressure? 20, 50,100? I will be starting on a Tuesday morning, and in a group of 4. Should I panic now? Or wait until Monday evening 1st of September when we arrive in le Puy. We have already done...

    Irish Pilgrim Routes

    There is talk of making O'Sullivan Bere's march from dursey island to Leitrim village a long distance walk. I would like to do that ! O'Sullivan Bere became a knight of the order of Santiago after his defeat in kinsale and his march to his ally in Leitrim.
