    Although I’m not able to open your accommodations list, I’m wondering if you are staying at La Cala in Oia? Tonya has a lovely place! Although simple, it is well kept and she was a great host when we stayed there. Would stay there again any time...

    Hi diweezyfitz - here is our lodging itinerary. We did not want to stay in hostels or albergues for the most part so you will see that we have booked inns, guesthouses, and hotels. The one hostel we have booked is in Oia, Spain and it looks...

    Grousedoctor reacted to ElCee's post in the thread Senda Litoral Details and Route with Like Like.
    We walked the Senda Litoral whenever it was available which really just meant when presented with an option we took the path that goes closest to the water. You join and leave the coastal many times but I didn't care which I was on. Honestly, I...

    Hi, @WanderLustToo, welcome to the forum. The Senda Litoral and the Coastal route zig zag across each other and typically wind up in the same places for the end stage. Based on what forum members have said, you sleep in the same places as...

    I would NOT do the San Salvador in reverse. It is hard enough following any Camino WITH the arrows, even when you already know the route. But this one is quite challenging in parts, and getting lost/hurt on the more remote stretches of the trail...

    Hi @sgmiller I’d have to second that sound advice from @Rebekah Scott it’s tough enough without adding those risks. 😎 Regarding the trail - many people, me included, find they cover less distance per hour than on other paths, due to the...

    Grousedoctor reacted to jeffnd's post in the thread Reintroducing myself with Like Like.
    Ten years ago to the day, I returned home from walking the Camino Frances. People asked me if I would do it again, and I said absolutely. I thought I'd be going back in "3 to 4 years." Obviously, that didn't happen. Life gets in the way, I guess...
