      We did it in rain and wind last October. Trail should be fine. You will get wet feet, but you will probably get that on the road too. Some parts provide shelter. Go steady, and even in the rain it is beautiful.

      We (my wife and I, 60 years old) hiked up to O Cebreiro from Las Herrerias under heavy cold rain and in the early morning darkness last October. We took the trail, and would do it again. It was muddy for sure, but at no point did we feel it was...

      Thank you Tincatinker for that link. I did find some good information. If I understand what I am reading this is the 7th annual organized 30 mile beach walk scheduled for DEC 13-15, 2024. I found this [edited for length] information. About the...

      Does anyone know if this is an actual pilgrimage or just an official starting point? “Camino Del Mestizaje” AKA, the Baby Steps Camino. Please forward any references.

      A long post, so not for everyone. Might help newbies, and bring a smile of remembrance to oldies. Lesson 1 (St Jean): get back to the albergue by 10pm or you WILL be locked out. Lesson 2 (Orisson): if you want a bottom bunk claim your bed...

      The text is theoretically the same. Although, of course, some will be more or less up-to-date than others: - the print edition will be up to date as of when it was sent to the presses - the kindle edition will be up-to-date as of when it was...

      As I carry poles, I check my rucsack. I put my rain cover on backwards, so that it covers the straps and back. This makes them less likely to get snagged. I finish it with a nylon strap, with buckle around the middle, and a good label, with my...

      On another tack, there are numerous people walking up and down caminos, in particular the Francés who are clearly homeless. They are never refused admission to donativos (or at least the rules say they should not be). For the hospitalero, a...

      There are many other pilgrimage destination routes in Spain (the Ignaciano, to Fatima, the Lebaniego, to Rome to mention but a few), so I do not accept the notion that you have to be headed to or from Santiago to be admitted into a pilgrim...

      Seems really tough. But they were wanting to use Pilgrim facilities, whilst they were clearly not on a Pilgrimage. So it was really up to the 'managers' of the Albergue. Not sure I could have turned them away but I fully understand the decision.
