So I did the camino from Barcelona to Finisterra this summer. Unbelievable experiencia
Met only 4 other pilgrims before Logroño. The solitude was a great contrast to the Frances which followed.
A wonderful off-duty Dutch pilgrim (Andrice?) met me in Zaragoza and bought me beer... I wonder if...
I'll give some more detailed info once back. It's a great experience, pretty solitary, in contrast to the social experience of the Frances. Also surprisingly well marked overall. Brush up on your Spanish to get the most out of it. The basics go a long way!
I met cyclists cycling from Barcelona to Montserrat and back in a day. There are marked routes with red and white stripes (?) which might be more suited for cyclists.
Currently in Boadilla, making strong progress towards Santiago :v
Tough walk to and from Montserrat. Beware the yellow arrows that lead back UP the mountain when going to Igualada! Good albergues in Igualada, Cervera, Castellnou and currently El Palau d'Anglosela.
Bon Camí!
Arrived in Sant Cugat after a tough walk (for me) in the sun. The way was marked but I might have missed one and ended up on the B road to Cerdanyola. Luckily took a left turn towards a restaurant and managed it.
I emailed the amics and asked around the sagrada familia. What is the religioses de sagrada familia might I ask?
Got my credencial from St. Jaume cathedral
I plan to set off from the gothic district on Thursday. I'll go towards sant cugat, a night there and then to Montserrat. Do you know if the way is signposted to Montserrat?
I will be yeah. Probably on Thursday the 4th of June. Or maybe the Sunday after that if I want to watch the champions league in Bcn :D
Great info, thanks again. Is there an albergue of sorts in Sant Cugat-Terrassa?
Thank you all muchly for the info on walking from Barcelona to Monsterrat!
I'll be there in two weeks time roughly. Yous may well catch up with me haha!
Thanks for your replies. Useful looking links, I'll have a browse.
Peregrina2000, I'm planning on going to the Primavera sound festival in Barcelona which finishes 31st of May. So I'll probably leave a few days after that. Nothing set in stone.
And yeah, I like the sound of this scenic...
Hi folks,
Could anyone provide a list of towns with (or more usefully without) albergues along the cami sant juame.
I like the idea of doing some couchsurfing (or camping :p) if there isn't an albergue for a stretch.
I understand the accomodation is cheap enough. But a list of pilgrim...
