    Please Help! On del Norte now.

    Move over to the Primativo....I also did not enjoy the Northern Way because of the road walking.... and where ever you can, walk along the coast - so, don't follow the yellow arrows. Hope you are able to make a plan - Buen Camino

    Gluten free on the Camino del Norte

    Hi, I am starting Camino del Norte on June 18 2018.....and have GOT to be gluten free because of Celiac Disease, so am wondering how your Camino went. Did you manage with the various menus or did you carry food and make your own meals? Thanks in advance for any information :) Jane

    Littoral Route from Porto info

    Hi Rina, I am sooo excited for my Camino next week. I will be sure to look out for the new pathways you created :-) I have Johnnie Walker's guide on the Seashore Route which has wonderful information and detail so am sure I will be fine. Did you pre-book your accommodation before you started...

    Littoral Route from Porto info

    Hi John Thank you for the heads up....and seeing as I have your book :-) :-) I will be following the correct paths and will have all the details for places to stay. I think I will walk and see how busy the Seaside Route is, and then book accommodation if I am feeling stressed. Truth be told...

    Littoral Route from Porto info

    Hi Rina, I was wondering how your Camino went? I will be walking the Senda, also on my own starting on 16 August 2017. I am both excited and a bit anxious. Any input would be most welcome :-) Regards Jane

    Any South Africans with advice

    Hi Nicolene, I take it you will be traveling on a SA passport, so will need to get a Schengen Visa. The best way to do this is to join the Confraternity of St James in South Africa. They then give you a letter which you include in your Visa application forms - this letter says that you are a...

    Coeliac disease

    Thank you JohnMcM - all information is greatly accepted and read and digested :-) I unfortunately am one of those that have quite spectacular reactions to gluten so need to be very careful. I will be learning to read labels in Portuguese :-)

    Coeliac disease

    Hello fellow Pilgrims I have just been diagnosed with Coeliac disease and am planning to walk the Portuguese route from Porto in August this year. My question is obviously about food and being able to have a gluten free diet. How easy is this likely to be? Any one else in a similar situation...

    Finisterre-Muxia-Santiago Compostela?

    I walked Santiago, Muxia and ended my Camino in Finisterre. Most beautiful walking. I got a Compostella for the walk from Santiago to Muxia and then a Compostella in Finisterre. Just keep in mind for the walk between Muxia and Finisterre (and vice versa) you need to get a Sello at Lires. One...

    A sad sign on the door at Grañon

    This is so sad, as mentioned by other Pilgrims, my stay at Granon was such a memorable one, not just the meal together, but making it, washing up after and just the sharing of a slice of our lives together. In Cape Town South Africa, we have an annual Camino workshop where information is shared...

    Warning: Improper behavior reported between Astorga and Rabanal

    I walked on my own last year and never felt concerned, often walking in the early morning dark as I loved the sunrises - I would say, be alert, keep your eyes open and make sure there is always someone just ahead or behind you. You can still be walking on your own, yet not be on your own, if...
