Thank God, I was really worried, I was checking all day for news. not sure our European friends understand the 'Irish Mammy' , once your little boy always your little boy. I completely understand how Joan was feeling even though I have only daughters, but my mother would be...
Michael,
Just wondering what airport you are flying into, I would be very surprised if you did not have a few on the flight with you, there was a least 20 on the flight with me last month.
Dee.
I have just stayed at the Casa El Cura in Calzadilla De Los Hermanillos on the alternative route out of Sahagun. It was the best experience on the Camino so far. The owners are absolutely wonderful and can't do enough for you. The rooms are big and spacious and very clean, but it's the food...
I am the same looking at the forecast and worrying about the rain. Also it is meant to be only 6 degrees on Thursday, is it that cold. !!!! sounds like winter to me and I am Irish.
Hi Mandy,
I stayed in the Abba Burgos last year, it was very comfortable. We arrived early and were given our room with it's own private garden, it was great to stretch our weary legs in the sun (or shade for hubby) for the afternoon whilst drying out our clothes. A lot of rooms with...

Myself and my husband are currently doing the Camino Frances in short stages, (trying to fit it in with work schedules etc.) Our next stage is due to finish in Leon. I have read a number of posts and guides where people are recommending to catch a bus from Mansilla, or Peunte de...
Anna, from reading the posts it would seem that some albergues don't allow the transportation of bags. How about a compromise with your friends, travel very light (bare essentials and no sleeping bag, etc.) and stay in private rooms, if there is a group of you, the price of a large...
Forgot to say that I was reading a German guide book one day and they gave the distance to the next town as 25km whilst Brierly gave it at 22km. It was 25km.
I have been using an App for recording the walks each day on the camino, at home this App is 99% accurate. However when walking the camino I always recorded further distances than what the book said, couldn't figure it out as the G.P.S is the same in Spain or Ireland. On a daily...
