    Pilgrim Meet-Up in Devon SW UK - All Welcome!

    Hope you have a great meeting, sorry I can't make it I will be working. I will be out in Madrid for St Paddies day and then hope to start my Camino a few days later. Buen Camino to you all.

    Getting to Spain a Problem!! Brittany Ferry Boo!

    It's a crazy set up BF run, it's a pity there isn't some sharing system where cyclists could contact willing drivers of mobile homes to see if the bikes could be stored for the journey on the mobile homes or in them.

    LIVE from the Camino @Isca-camigo on the Salvador

    Despite our efforts me and my partner can't help ourselves,it was going to be a 7 or 8 start but after leaving the Albergue just before 10 we eventually left the cafe near the Parador at 12. We are on the river walk near Carbajal, we have just ignored the arrows next to the bridge which take you...

    LIVE from the Camino @Isca-camigo on the Salvador

    I had seen that it was recommended that you ring ahead on here, which we did today, they said peregrinos reception is between 4 and 6 tomorrow. We can't remember if there is cooking facilities there so might ring again in the morning just to check if there is, then we will be topping up at the...

    LIVE from the Camino @Isca-camigo on the Salvador

    We arrived in Leon today only to find private accomodation full, something about 'oposiciones' ( for teachers) taking place today and tomorrow in Leon and next weekend as well, + somewhere in there is the feria de Leon, I did not want to stay in pilgrim accommodation today but in the end it...

    LIVE from the Camino Salvador June 2022

    Thanks Nick, I'm on my way up from Malaga to Madrid, spending tonight in Segovia but should be in Leon for tomorrow. Your posts are very helpful for me, I might book accommodation all the way if it's going to be really busy.

    LIVE from the Camino BP on the Requena (from Valencia) June 2022

    I'm about 25 km inland from Malaga, it's cooler than the rest of Andulicia but it still feels extreme.

    Hope you keep well, these temps are unreal. I'm in Andalusia in the mountains and the sun is like a hammer, a maximum of 15 minutes outside for me at the moment. I have been in hotter but these rays seem to have extra oomph.

    New version of Ender's Salvador guide (2022)

    I can't remember but on the 1st day you have ' letterboxes' which include a stamp for your credential and a message book, there may be more letterboxes' now. And when I say letterbox it is out in the wilds and is easily visible.

    New version of Ender's Salvador guide (2022)

    Poladura is a must stop for us because of the distances involved if we continue, we used your guide in 2014 and it was exceptional, the only 4 variations from that walk that we might do are the river walk out of Leon, which wasn't given in 2014, then possibly turn left in Cascantes which adds...

    New version of Ender's Salvador guide (2022)

    It's ok part of the reason we swapped our dates is not to avoid you but to ensure other accommodation options are not too stretched by several people known to be starting at the same time + others not known who will definitely be on this Camino in a increasing busy probably record year. Me and...

    New version of Ender's Salvador guide (2022)

    Me and my Novia will l be on the San Salvador from the 18th next week, I was going for the 15th but after reading a few posts on here I realised it it was getting to be busy for that start. I flew into Madrid last Wednesday and there was another peregrino on the plane who I got chatting to, he...

    LIVE from the Camino Struggling with fitness and mood

    Yes, take time out, go somewhere else for a few days, see how you feel. If you keep going and can't resolve the issue it will become worse. Buen Camino

    Camino awesome, Santiago not so much

    I'm going to be polite here, so much is said about the 100km as being not like the Camino previous to it and so not of value. I don't feel that way and it just as special to me as any other part of it, something I read recently and I can't pinpoint in my mind where, but to give the outline of...
