    Urgent question - is the botafumeiro currently operating?

    I went to the Pilgrims Mass in the Cathedral Thursday and it was in full swing( pardon the pun). The Cathedral was packed so get there early if you want a seat….otherwise it is standing room only.

    Dag Hammarskjöldsleden route in Northern Sweden

    Wow, looks amazing. Your posts have already helped me plan and think about this route. I will walk it with my son (we both have a few Caminos under our belts). Now looking at the end of August as a possible, good time to walk. Thanks again

    Weirdest/Strangest item someone has taken on the Camino

    My son and I chatted to a Mexican Pilgrim in the Albergue in Santander. He was carrying a surfboard and a guitar and, like us was walking the del Norte. We never seen him again

    Thanks for your update and information about Vilar de Barrio. I am in the cracking new Albergue in A Gudina tonight and was thinking about staying in Vilar on Tuesday….which now looks good. Thanks again

    Starting in April

    Thanks for your reply and your kind offer. I think I will be okay. I walked the Via de la Plata 7 years ago with my then wife ( now ex). In March this year I walked the Via Serrana with my son from Gibraltar to Seville. Now I am continuing from Seville, solo and hopefully will get to A Gudina or...

    Frameless packs

    I walked the Frances last year with a frameless Montbell Versalite 30L pack. I had no issues or problems and I have handed my Osprey into the Charity Shop. I am starting the Via Serrana on Saturday and have the Montbell as does my walking companion.

    Should I pack backup eyeglasses?

    Definitely. I lost my glasses and contact lens on the same night. Next morning in Zafra, I found an Optican who was able to make me new glasses that day. I picked them up as scheduled at 4pm, paid, ( not cheap) and very grateful that I could continue and finish my Camino

    The first official camino in Ukraine welcomes!

    Brilliant Camino. At times I thought I had died and gone to Heaven. Now looking for another Camino and the Way in Ukraine looks very interesting.

    The first official camino in Ukraine welcomes!

    Sorry Jenny, I meant to reply directly to normaliser. I am in Santiago this evening having finished the Camino Frances and a bit of the beat!
