    LIVE from the Camino Snoring revisited

    Dear all, I write as a snorer, for which I apologize most profusely. My snoring is caused by Sleep Apnoea and to an extent was out of my control. However, I now sleep with an air pump at the side of my bed every night without exception, it's connected by pipes and tubes to a face mask I wear...

    Eating vegetarian on the Portuguese

    Hi all, My partner and I will be walking the Portuguese in mid June from Porto to Santiago. This will be our third Camino having already walked the Primitivo and the Frances. She is vegetarian and we were wondering if any previous vegetarian pilgrims can recommend suitable places to eat. We...

    Portuguese Camino

    Hi all, Does anybody know if I can buy my scallop shell in Porto? If it's not possible then I'll send off for one. I still have my shell from the Primitivo in 2015 and my shell from the Frances last year. The urges have returned and I now need one for the Portuguese. Buen camino

    Is the Camino losing its identity

    I would hate to get into an argument, however, my last sentence is factually true. My stone came from my parent's grave and my partner's stone came from her parent's grave. There is also a wonderful thread from Wayfarer dated 04.11.2013 titled The Story of your stone at the Cruz de Ferro which...

    Is the Camino losing its identity

    Please don't get me wrong, I don't suggest fencing off Cruz de Ferro completely, just enough to stop these bikers, true pilgrims can then lay their stones in the confidence that they will not be abused or disrespected. Ian

    40% off RIBZ front pack !!

    Hi Joodle, I've just looked at photographs of these front packs, whilst they look very handy packs to wear, I would hate to be mistaken for a suicide bomber in these crazy days we're living in. Especially now that we have even more armed police on our streets. Buen Camino

    Rediscovering the realities of Camino life

    Buen Camino, My partner and I walked the Primitivo from Oviedo to Santiago arriving on 27th September this year, we met lots of lovely people on our walk but we didn't meet any bedbugs. Try it, you'll like it.

    Navigating the bigger towns

    Hi Laurie, my apologies to all for giving an incorrect website address. I should have given santiago.forwalk.org . On reaching this site click on Primitive Way, then select the medium, hard or easy route. Buen camino.

    Navigating the bigger towns

    Hi everybody, My partner and I will be walking the Primitivo from Oviedo to Santiago de Compostela, using the easier of the three possible routes, as suggested by Forwalk.com, in September. Whilst we are both experienced walkers and navigators, we both have concerns about the route signage in...
