    Tips for Camino del Norte from Aviles?

    Hi all A lot of people seem to be walking the first half of the northern route but does anyone have any tips on the second half? I'm about to start walking from Aviles and I only have the Confraternity of St James guide book which can be quite confusing. Mundicamino is very useful but are there...

    Camino del Norte in August

    Hi all I'm planning on doing part of the Camino del Norte starting in mid-August from Oviedo / Gijon and would appreciate any advice on distances and accommodation in particular. As my fellow pilgrim is recovering from back problems, we will be looking to do around 20km a day and I'm a bit...

    Hospitalera wannabe needs advice on volunteering

    Hi! I've just come back from my first Camino and I'm already planning my next one. I would also like to volunteer in one of the hostels, preferably in Galicia but anywhere really, next August. Can anyone advise on how to go about it? I live in London. Many thanks!

    4 weeks to go, please advise?

    I've just got back from the Camino and did very minimal training (10km walks for a week, without a backpack) and my friend did none and we still managed it with no difficulties so I don't think you need to worry too much about the training.

    From Leon in August - insanity?

    Thank you oursonpolaire and xm for very useful advice. I seem to remember reading somewhere that you can get a coach from Valladolid to Leon. Is that the case? I'm planning on flying Ryanair from London to Valladolid and then on to Leon to start the Camino. Is there a better way? Thanks.

    From Leon in August - insanity?

    having doubts Thanks for your comments. I'm beginning to think that perhaps I should reschedule for Easter next year when it's not so hot. As a teacher I'm limited to school holidays which is not ideal. I think I need to do a bit more research.

    From Leon in August - insanity?

    Hi all I'm a first timer and planning on starting my walk in Leon in mid-August. Is this a completely insane idea what with heat and crowds? I can only go in mid-August so can't change that but could start the camino at an earlier point on the Camino Frances if it makes more sense...
