    want solitude

    Choose another route, or cobble something together. I am doing Camino Vasco de Interior from Irûn, joining the Frances at Burgos. Leaving the Frances at Leon for the Salvador to Oviedo, then on to the Norte to Ribadeo or Vilalba where I will bus to the Ingles and enter Santiago from a less...

    Afraid of top bed without fence

    Ask for a litera inferior. Lower bunk. Say “tengo miedo de caer “. I am afraid of falling.

    Second thoughts on completing del Norte

    My plan is Camino Vasco del Interior to Burgos, Burgos to Leon on the Frances, Salvador to Oviedo/Gihon and Norte to Ribadeo, then some combo of coastal to Ferrol, approaching Santiago from the Ingles. In 2018 it was Norte to Primitivo and into Santiago via the Frances. I like combining the...

    Just started El Camino Vasco del Interior.

    This is the route I’m planning for August. I’ll be following your Insta for tips! I’m also a coffee enthusiast, so interested how that works out!

    How to identify good private albergues that I can use to have my backpack transported

    I carried my bag to the public in Irun had a bunk. In the morning I pack up and leave having made arrangement to have it picked up at a bar nearby where I drop it before walking. I book a private albergue for the next night and it is delivered there. Is this not reasonably clear. I carry it to...

    How to identify good private albergues that I can use to have my backpack transported

    That is why i said she should ask. I stayed at private and had a pick up, then next night a public and the Correos dropped my pack at a nearby bar. I just had to go around the corner for it. So I got a coffee.

    Different because it's shorter

    Perhaps you could ad the Salvador for yourself and meet in Oviedo to do the Primitivo together? Or bus to Muxia and walk back to Santiago?

    How to identify good private albergues that I can use to have my backpack transported

    You could just stay at the public then drop your pack for pick up at one of the places listed by Correos if that is a possibility? You’d have to ask of course if this was possible.

    New Forum Topic... Portable Clothes Wringer?

    Many albergues I stayed at on the Norte had a little centrifugio to spin extra water out of your clothes after washing. Worked very well. And I will echo that hand wringing then wrapping up in towel and stepping on it to extract extra water helps.

    Recommended phone apps (iOS)

    Pardon me for being off topic, but, that is why I mentioned it (planning), it’s been very useful to me (App or not). I also use Gronze.com so if there was an App for that I never used the App, just the web site. It seems a bit nit picky to exclude something that is so useful just because it’s...
