    Changes in last five years.

    Hi, my wife and I last walked the Camino France's five years ago. Since then we have completed two other routes. We have decided to plan a return visit this May.

    Public transport on the Via de la Plata

    Hi, My wife and I will be walking the Via de la Plata starting from Seville in late March. We have only 30 days to complete the walk and would like advice on how we can reduce the length using public transport.

    Alvaiazere - Rabacal - Coimbra Distance and accomodation

    Hi, My wife and I are both over 60 and are planning our Camino from Lisbon to Santiago in Late August.

    taxi / transfer from Santiago to Sarria

    Thanks for the info on the taxi. I have looked at the bus to Lugo, but we just miss the 9.25. The next is at 11.10 which arrives at 13.00. We would then have to connect to Sarria. If it was just myself it looks like a good option. As there are six of us the taxi fare is not too bad, plus we...

    How long to walk from St Jean to Orisson Refuge?

    Planning to walk to from St Jean to Orisson, leaving at about 5 pm next week. Maps seem to indicate about 8 to 10km, but with a steep incline I wanted to make sure we could get to Orisson whilst its still daylight. How long does it actually take?
