    My experience walking with my 10 year old son

    Hi Rachel, that's lovely to hear thank you. We went back last year and walked the Camino del Salvador and Camino Primitivo at the end of September. It was another unforgettable experience. It was different in the sense that it was quieter and more remote, days were longer and the terrain more...

    Primitivo Albergue Closing Dates

    Hi Bob, we walked the Primitivo and Verde this year around the same time, arrived in Santiago on the 11th and didn't see any sign of albergues closing. In fact all were quite busy and it certainly did not feel like the season was coming to an end. On the Verde from Lugo, most likely you will...

    New albergue in the concello (NOT the town) of Castroverde

    Hi Laurie yes that could be correct, our room was called Soutomerille so it might have been near the little church you refer to.I can't recall it as it was early still :-)

    New albergue in the concello (NOT the town) of Castroverde

    Hi Laurie. We are staying here tonight and are the very first guests! We walked from Fonsagrada today to Castroverde which is about 35km. We read about this new albergue so wanted to stay there but it's actually 8km out of the town towards Lugo and so we got a lift (and plan to go back and pick...

    Who would like to join us on our Camino del Salvador in Sept 2018?

    Sandra is lovely and very helpful. But her car is not very good at the moment so she said she rather not pick up if not necessary and only offers if you come from Poladura. Maybe her situation has changed in the meantime but best to ask. If you decide to walk to her albergue it's a couple of km...

    Who would like to join us on our Camino del Salvador in Sept 2018?

    Hi Dawnie. We walked from Poladura to Pajares and from there to the albergue in Buenduenos which was wonderful. Some people walked to Campomanes (from Pajares) but I would recommend Buenduenos as it's different and special and a long enough distance from Pajares, we found. It was a beautiful...

    LIVE from the Camino Almost Live

    Thanks Rachael. Oh great, be so nice if we met! Sounds like you be easy to spot, we just look like mum and son (11) with blue rucksacks and perhaps a shell we've yet to find on our local beach in the morning :-) Ps looking more Dutch than Irish, both wavy dark blond hair..

    Leon to La Robla

    Thanks for your great suggestion. It's definitely something to consider. We are aiming for La Robla on the first day as we hope to walk the Salvador in 5 days but you never know, so it's helpful to have an alternative. I would really like to stay in Benduenos (like everyone else it seems!) but...

    Leon to La Robla

    Thanks so much for your advice and positive response. It seems to make a lot of sense to go to La Robla and i think we be fine on the first day, even if tired!

    Thanks Rebekah that's good to know. Are you on the camino right now?

    Leon to La Robla

    Hi Rachael Hi Rachael, thanks for your reply. You must be leaving soon too?! By sounds of it we should be fine, even if it takes a bit longer. We walk long distances very regularly at home, just not so used to our camino backpack weight until we get there but feel fit enough. We see how the...

    Leon to La Robla

    Hi everyone, My son and I will be starting our Camino the Salvador on Saturday the 22nd of September. It's very exciting and getting close..! Hope to do it in 5 days which seems doable. But we'll have traveled the two days prior so i hope we'll be rested enough to walk the first day. Hence my...

    Notes on the San Salvador after two recent caminos.

    Hi Feli Hi Felice thanks for sharing your experience. I'm glad to hear the dogs were not as scary as they looked. Just the sight of big dogs scares me a lot, especially when they come towards me and no one is around. I live in rural Ireland and when walking the back roads i'm known for turning...

    Notes on the San Salvador after two recent caminos.

    Thinks it's just before Poladura de la Tercia as mentioned in Pierre Julians post from November 2017..
