    Gareth from Dublin on Camino yesterday.

    Hi Gareth, thanks for the lovely pics. I am in Dublin also, hence my name here! Since France and Spain are on the Red list in Ireland, will you do the 14 day quarantine on return? I presume you will. This virus is going nowhere, Laois, Offaly and Kildare have been shut down now for two weeks...

    New albergue planned for Cabra railway station (Malaga route) - opening Nov 2020

    Sorry to butt in, but I live just outside Dublin on the coast, and there is a suburb in Dublin called Cabra that has a train and tram station. Did a double take there!

    The last 100 km

    Ola, todos! I may be quite wrong, but I'm getting a bit of a judgemental vibe here. But at the same time hearing that the Sarria section can be great fun too. Uplifting even...after many Kms without too many people around! There are many who use the Sarria section for a break, a...

    Keeping belongings secure on the camino (ipad, camera, phone

    Thanks for that tip David. I'm sure there are similar for iPad which would fit passport, plastic card, etc. Brilliant.

    Keeping belongings secure on the camino (ipad, camera, phone

    Please, HOW do you keep stuff dry in a plastic bag in the shower? Is it the type of Bag, or hanging it up higher than the spray or what? Have been thinking about that! OK, these days, many have techie gear and want to bring it. Fine. For me, an iPhone 4s is what I've got and that's what's...

    Warning: Reports of Scam in Galicia

    I think I might need to do the Camino NOW to sort out my anger at this kind of caper. I am partially deaf following meningitis. I have real problems with this, but have adapted. I am alive! I just cannot see how being deaf requires a charitable donation. Baffled.... Anyhow, and may I be...

    It's Different This Year

    I'd say those who bother you with their antics, are probably JUST as bothered by you and YOUR antics that THEY don't like! Such is life. Seeing it from the other perspective might help. But theft and general bad manners are a no no, it is not that hard to be polite and honest, whatever...

    Liner Socks

    Yes, that works for me too. No xpensive liner socks for me... €2 euro for four pop socks in Penneys (an Irish shop also called Primark in UK). Then light wool socks for outer layer. But each to their own, and all footsies are different!

    Getting from Finisterre to Alicante (ALC)

    Hi there. There are direct flights from Santiago Airport to Alicante. There iS a flight on Monday 10th June for € 37 one way! That is surely better than trekking across the country on buses and trains, and probably far better value too, even if you factor in an extra night in Finisterra or...

    Where are all the Americans???

    If you can do it, and want to do it, you will. US citizens have a tough time of it though, with the short vacation time, and the costs involved. However, I have to say, that in my travels around the U.S., I have met so many decent and friendly people. I was absolutely amazed at the open and...

    I'm planning to walk the Camino Frances in September 2014

    Hi Sorry plum pud, but this is turning into a wannabe Camino experience rather than an actual one! But no matter. I will be taking early retirement in August 2014, God willing, and am hoping to do the Camino September that year. I am lucky that my employer is offering a generous package to...
