    Which Camino for Less-abled or Wheelchairs?

If you do the Frances, there is a guide for cyclists which could be helpful. My daughter also did the...

    Xunta regulation about cloth sheets

    I walked for 30 days during April / May 2017. Partly on Norte and some on Frances. Some albergues had cotton sheets and they did not appear to be clean or recently washed. Unfortunately I did not take note of which albergues. I never received a towel. Personally I think I prefer a plain...

    Wheelchair Camino

    My daughter had just completed 250km of Camino Francais in a wheelchair with a hand cycle attachment, not motorised. I had to help her up the hills - lots of hard work for both of us.

    Hi, I have just returned from 2 weeks on Camino Frances. I started in SJPP with the idea of walking as far as I could. I had a flight booked out of Logrono (to Madrid) with the idea of catching a bus back. I walked further than Logrono but then decided to experience walking back so I returned...
