    Calling naturalists! Flora on the way to Finisterre

    I don't. It was raining much of the time and this discouraged me from getting my tablet out.

    Calling naturalists! Flora on the way to Finisterre

    Just done the Camino to Finisterre during this very wet spring. But at least there were flowers, only a few of which I recognised. (I'm from Britain). Does anyone know what is/would be out at this time of year? I identified periwinkles and, I think, white bluebells. There was also a small...

    Muxiana compostela

    Neither certificate has any standing with the Catholic church, but the issuing authorities do like to have some assurance that you have indeed done the whole walk. Got mine from Finisterre a couple of days ago and was asked if I'd come from Santiago, and my sells were looked at. A fellow pilgrim...

    Best place to break for a four-day camino?

    Hola todos I'm walking Santiago to Finisterre (and then onto Muxia) in April, but want to avoid the usual long stage Negreira to Olveiroa on the second day. I can take four days. I was thinking of doing Negreira to Maronas and then Maronas to Cee, but even that would leave me a 29 km stage on...

    Good/new guidebooks?

    Does it cover Finisterre? That's the bit I'll be doing this time.

    Good/new guidebooks?

    Thanks - I might see you then! I did the Camino Ingles in August (my first), and held off going to Finisterre via transport so I can do it as another short camino. I'm a (travel) writer, so I might end up writing one myself, but I doubt I'd be able to confine myself to a straightforward guidebook.

    Good/new guidebooks?

    Next spring I'm planning to walk from Santiago to Finisterre and then on to Muxia, slowly, allowing time to take things in. After a look around this forum and on Amazon, I can't find much to read over the long winter ... I'm aware of the John Brierley book, which covers that route along with...

    Pilgrim behaviour in albergues

    In answer to the question of whether the albergues are still following the tradition of accommodating the overfiow, my experience was mixed. One, at Pontedeume, opened the sports hall to sleep a group of 14 Italians but others did just announce they were 'completo' and encouraged people to seek...

    Pilgrim behaviour in albergues

    Yes, I would have liked to have reported him, especially as he had been thumping my mattress from below repeatedly during the night - which, I only realised in the morning, must have been a deliberate attempt to wake me - the bunk bed had bars which prevented that from happening accidentally...

    Pilgrim behaviour in albergues

    I've just (end of last month) completed the Ingles, my first camino and was so delighted with it that I'm already planning to do another short camino next spring. However, there was one aspect which surprised me, in a negative way. I'd opted for the Ingles because I'd heard it was much quieter...
