This is a real temptation for next year if the situation allows it!! I have walked Norte from Irún to Gijón in 2013 but didn’t continue. Did visit Praia das Catedrais travelling by car and I agree with David It is truly spectacular! Walking there from Ribadeo would be something to dream about...
Hello everybody, I wonder, reading all the previous posts, none of you find the skirt too short? My Altus goes a little below my knees, it is great. But I would love something really lightweight to cover the lower parts of my legs. All the gaiters I have looked at are too heavy in my opinion...
Hi, I you walk the most beautiful camino of them all, el Camino del Salvador, between Leon and Oviedo you will be able to get a "Salvadorana",

Thanks a lot, your lists will be a great help while I continue my planning.
So you have convinced me to do stay in both Monistrol and Sauges, I'll followe your advice. As to the first day or two, when to start and where to stay I haven't made my mind up yet. We'll see, but I am sure I will come...

Thanks to the three of you for taking time to advice on this. I am starting to realize that I need to think this over properly, I am not the fittest of pilgrims and I have time enough for this Camino so no need to hurry. I would very much like to start the steep walk up to Saugues early in the...
Yes it does look very steep........but I thought since I booked ahead there is no need for hurry and I could take my time. But I'll think about it, and it's good to know there will be something in between in case I don't make it. I might try to start earlier as well. If pilgrim mass is finished...
