I was caught short and needed a “wild wee” ( and yes, I do take my loo paper away with me). I was on a slight incline with my back facing down instead of up. Lost my balance and ended up on my back like a turtle. I couldn’t right myself, but did...
Hello. In October last year I flew in on the late flight from Stansted and it was almost 5 hours late. I was booked into Miradorio De Belvis. They have a 24 hour reception desk and a late check out, I think either 11.00 or 12.00 as well as...
Are you planning to walk that day or the next. If you spend the night in Sarria, you can arrange it at your place of rest and pickup up is normally in the morning. For afternoon, you may have to engage a taxi to take it for you.

Buen camino
You can request a Compostela from the Pilgrims Office if you can demonstrate that you have walked either from Muxia via Fisterra to Santiago or Fisterra via Muxia to Santiago. A Credencial with a minimum of two stamps per day is required. The...
I was just poking through YouTube tonight, looking for anything interesting to watch,
and I happened upon this beautiful familiar face, Hospitalera Marina!
In 2006, on our first Camino, Joe and I stayed at San Anton.
The hospitalera was...
