    Camino San Salvador & Primitivo

    So you've walked the Via Francigena, over two years? Myself and another fellow are planning to do it from the Italian & Swiss border next year in the fall. What would be your overall thought about this portion? Any personal thoughts on this section?

    Camino San Salvador & Primitivo

    Hello Jennysa, As to which one I like the best. They all have their own benefits/draws. Overall, I like them evenly, each having their own surprises, but all give satisfactions. Some are more difficult than others (less infrastructures), but that's to be expected and accepted. The C. del Norte...

    Camino de La Lana/Sureste/Levante

    Hi Kanga, Hey, it doesn't matter if the person snores - I've never been on a Camino where there is quietness at night. Must be one of those prerequisites - LOL. Yes, I also have done the Madrid - just last year in fact - one of the easier ones. This will be my 14 or 15th different route/camino...

    Reservations in Orission

    My impression with the couple who runs the Orisson albergue is not positive. Best is to rest up in StJPdeP, and make it all the way to Roncesv. To me these two are very materialistic, and if you hadn't booked by now, it's problaby full, and they don't care to reply, as it not in their interest...

    Camino Sanabrės

    Donna, Lucky you!, with your meeting with that fellow in Ourense. Yes, from my talking to others he is more irritable with males, but not by much. but I see your point. Hope he didn't put you off from other future caminos, like he might have done to those that started in Ourense, and had to wait...

    Ourense Hospitalero ??

    Hello P2000, Wow, you mean there's another, worse than the Ourense fellow. good to know for the Primitivo Camino. Yes, I do seem to remember, that the tourist office mentioned that the Albergue is now run by Municipal of Ourense. Such a shame, nice albergue, location. Frank

    Ourense Hospitalero ??

    Has anyone had 'negative' encounters with "That Man" (hospitalero) in Ourense? I seem to be getting the impression that some few of us aren't the only ones. If you're lucky to be 'signed-in' by the female hospitalera - Great ! They seem to alternate days in looking after the Albergue. Nice...

    Invierno next year

    Hi Alan, Quite a coincidence - Tenatively, I'll be near Ponferrada on that day, within a day's walk. I'm planning the Levante Camino, from Valencia, to commence in May, to Astorga, then onto the Invierno @ Ponferrada, onto SdeC . frank I gather you're from Australia ? (N.S.W.)

    Camino Sanabrės

    WoW! And I thought It was only me, other than a couple others who decided to start the Camino in Ourense and they weren't allowed to check in until 8:00pm. Met them a few days later - we had a good laugh about him. However, the female hospitalera - was really nice when I first checked in. I...
