    What did you do/Where did you go after your Camino?

    Porto is a nice city to visit after your Camino. Great food and lots of wine tasting!! It is an easy bus ride from Santiago. You could then continue on to Lisbon. Portugal is a wonderful country!!

    Oporto

    I spent 4 nights in Porto after my Camino in 2015. You will love it! We took the bus from Santiago to Porto. It was a piece of cake. We also booked a place with Airbnb. They had tons of good choices with reasonable rates. Get a place close to the center of town. You can take a taxi or Uber when...

    Buying walking sticks in SJPDP

    Can I buy walking sticks in St. Jean Pied de Port? If yes, about how much? It seems it would be easier to buy them in SJPDP rather than risk traveling with them. Thanks!

    Novels Set In Spain, Any Recommendations?

    How about "The Camino" by Shirley MacLaine. Not for everyone, but a different take on the Camino. Did anyone else like this book?

    Novels Set In Spain, Any Recommendations?

    "Spain in our Hearts" is an excellent book about the Spanish civil war. Highly recommended and very readable. When you are walking the Camino, you will often think about this book. Mas amor, por favor!!!!
