MI have always stayed in albergues right in the center of Hospital de Orbigo but this year we stayed on the outskirts in a hotel called El Paso Honroso. For €50 I have a nice clean room with three beds and a BATHTUB!!! Also, even if you do not...

Like.
Another grumpy old so-and-so here, not giving you the advice you are asking for. I strongly recommend what Vacajoe is suggesting and starting closer to Santiago and doing one long walk. If SJPdP is important to you then give it its fair due and... -
Mmckrowdy reacted to Friend from Barquinha's post in the thread New marked paths to Fatima in central Portugal with Like.
A local (central Portuguese) news source reported recently on the newly marked routes to Fatima from 1/ Serta 2/Tomar and 3/ Abrantes (east of Vila Nova da Barquinha on the Tejo/Tagus). Here's a link to the brochure, with map and elevation...

Mmckrowdy reacted to BHP's post in the thread Death of American pilgrim in Castromaior today with Like.
This was my husband. So many thanks to all of my fellow pilgrims who stopped to help and to pray and to translate for me. He was doing what he loved. Thank you for the news article link.

Innit funny. All this teknology to make stuff easier what only seems to make it harder. Could always use a Brierley or even just follow the arrows but that wouldn’t be very modern would it

Burgos, Casa Pancho - Calle San Lorenzo, 13, 15, not far from the Cathedral in small side street. Founded 1958, authentic local cuisine at good prices and here's the thing - the locals eat there! Very friendly and helpful - lovely wines too...

MAll people tell you to carry water. So I always carry (on the CF) 500 ml water. And I drink beer. That way I always have enough water, bc I don't touch the stuff.

Mmckrowdy reacted to Becky 59's post in the thread LIVE from the Camino Current conditions on the Frances with Like.
The one point I would disagree with you on, my friend, is the race for a bottom bunk. Tonight at the municipal in Viana, I got the last bottom bunk at 2 pm; the upper bunks are still not full (7:30 pm). One place I tried in Estella yesterday had...

MYou are wise to be taking into account transport time/days. Like J Wilhaus, I would suggest a stretch where the start and end points are easy to travel to/from, and the Francés in general is always a good first-time route recommendation. I was...
