    LIVE from the Camino Puebla de Sanabria - Finisterre

    Hi Luka. You could go for the "quick and dirty" option, stay on the N525, over the viaduct and through the tunnel, there is a footpath through the tunnel and as I remember in October last year there were no prohibitions re pedestrians. Plus there is a coffee stop not far after the tunnel. The...

    How do I harden my feet?

    Wow, just done a Google search for “toughening feet” the result about a million hits and just about the same number of solutions. Given you have plans for 2024 then lots of time to work out what works best for you. A good place to start might be, Hoka running shoes, medium merino socks and a...

    Monbus station in Santiago?

    Just to add, a couple of weeks ago the airport bus was full when it left the bus station and didn’t stop until the outskirts of SdeC, if you are going to the airport it might be a good idea to walk to the bus station.

    Bus info Muxia - Santiago

    Finisterre bus stop. (correct as of 14/05) Word of warning, the bus stop is not at the usual place due to roadworks, it’s at the top of the hill next to the laundry. Plus The behaviour of some people pushing to get on the bus was quite appalling, given this was the 0945 hrs bus, can’t imagine...

    What experience have people had with waterproof socks?

    Hi Stewart, Look in “Foot wear and Care” in this section and you will find a thread discussion about what socks to wear under waterproof socks.. You could also search out a mountain bike forum, there are often posts re waterproof socks. My own experience on my Camino Sanabrese was the need to...

    Camino Sureste

    Hi Maggie. Yes, like all Camino addicts my feet are permanently twitching, although last years Almeria - Granada, Seville - SDC scratched that itch pretty well. Saw the monolitho on the promenade during a morning run with my daughters, came as a bit of a surprise. A quick google search finds a...

    Camino Sureste

    Quick google search shows a marked route from Benidorm to Villena on the main Sureste. So many camino's, so little time.

    LIVE from the Camino Walking the Via de la Plata with New Friends

    “Creepy religious fanatics “ Staff must have changed since I was there in last October !! You did notice that the albergue is a parochial donationativo? For a lot of perigrinos me included, this albergue and its welcome was a highlight of our Camino. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

    Pairing Injinji toe socks with waterproof socks - experiences and advice?

    Hi, Sealskinz sell a merino liner sock for wear under their waterproof socks, so I would suppose any sock used as a liner would be ok. A word of caution though, on my recent Camino Mozárabe/VdeLP I tried Sealskinz on a very wet day to Latin and ended the day with socks full of water and I mean...

    A week left!

    Hi Colt. Navigating out of cities can be a problem, the arrows disappear, change sides of the street or are obliterated by posters. Google earth is your friend, you can often trace a route on street view. In the event, you’ve got time to explore in daylight, turn right out of backpackers, top of...

    Ruta del Argar from Almería

    Hi Rita. Yes we had a chat over dinner at the albergue in Zamora, we had also exchanged a few posts re the Mozárabe. On consideration perhaps I should not have made a comment on what is a Camino and what’s not, it leads into the who’s a pilgrim and who’s not (forwarding backpacks, taxi assists...
