    Route from Vigo changed?

    I just walked this yesterday and saw the 102 km marker. I was staying in the area close to the cathedral and the Buen Camino app had a route that went right by the Cathedral and out of the city, up a steep hill or two and then into the forest. After the hill, I thought it was lovely!

    Accommodation for Volunteer

    I was one of the last volunteers for 2023 and we stayed at the Albergue Peregrinos San Lazaro. There are two sections/buildings with one of them being for the volunteers at the Pilgrim’s Office.

    Bank verification with Spanish SIM

    Being from Canada and having this same problem, I called my bank. I do use the app for my banking and they told me that the message sent is phone specific and not number specific….at least in my case. I also found that if I was using my SIM card and not wifi, I was able to get right into the...

    Return To Canada after Camino

    I was returning to Toronto but it’s a simple bus ride from Santiago to Porto where I enjoyed a few day being a tourist in this great city. I then flew home direct on Air Transat which likely flies direct to Montreal as well.

    stop halfway Betanzos to Bruma

    If you’re feeling like a splurge, stay at the beautiful Rectoral de Cines! It is a former monestary that has been converted into a hotel. It is off the Camino but they offer complementary pick up, and drop off the next morning. There are two options for this. The hotel also offers a lovely...

    Is the Ingles Social or Solitary?

    I walked the Ingles mid-October 2023 and found it very solitary. Some days I didn’t see any other pilgrims. Those I did see were often in groups or wanting to keep to themselves. I also met very few English speakers which added to the isolation as my Spanish is limited. I did enjoy the...

    Best way to get to St. Jean Pied de Port from Ontario Canada

    This is exactly what I did from London Ontario and it worked like a charm! It was nice to spend a few days in Paris and Porto if you have the time.

    You can invite a companion on Camino, but you can't make them walk (in preparation)!

    It’s a long shot but was it the Maitland Trail Camino that you sister participated in this past weekend? If it was she certainly picked a tough trail to start with…especially the first 31km of it!!

    Favourite Accommodation Splurge along the Camino

    I second this recommendation! It’s a beautiful place with lovely cloisters as part of the hotel. When we were there there was a soft breeze blowing through the cloisters with music playing in the background and a wonderful scent in the air!

    Sellos on the Francigena

    We often got stamps from the police stations in a town. They knew what we were asking for and were quite happy to oblige. In fact, we were sometimes directed there to get the stamp.
