    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.

    LIVE from the Camino Fabulous places to stay!

    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...

    To get a bus or not to get a bus.

    Thank you for your replies, I think I will go with Wayfarers idea, I will take the bus this time, if I regret it, I will get the bus back out to Mansilla and start from there when I next come back to do more stages.

    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...

    Do albergues refuse the pilgrims who don't carry their packs

    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...

    SJPP to Santiago

    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.

    SJPP to Santiago

    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...
