    Video of my walk from Leon to Santiago: June 2012

    Very nice. It brings back many memories for me, some good some not so good. I walked at a difficult point in my life and it will stay with me forever. Thank you so much, your work is lovely.

    getting to and from Leon?

    I caught a plane to Madrid, I'd not been before and spent a night there before catching a train (I'd recommend the route) to Leon. No problems.

    Algarve to Santiago on a bike

    Is this possible? Are there any alberges, where might you get the passport? Can I use a previous passport?

    Shin splint

    Shin splint is very painful. It is caused by the moscle tearing away from the bone and if it gets too uncomfortable then the only answer is to rest otherwise more damage will be done. Many who walk the Camino suffer from strains, pulls and niggles. They are part of the experience but judge for...

    Santiago to Madrid by public transport

    I have the opportunity to walk for 7 days in February. I will land mid morning in Madrid and then take a train/bus to Villafranca which would be a good place to start. Is this feasable? Would I go to Leon and then get a bus? I have walked the route but have not used public transport on the...

    11 days to walk to Santiago

    I have 11 days to reach Santiago. Earlier in the year I walked from Leon to Finnisterre and have an opportunity from next weekend to walk again. I would like to end the walk in Santiago. Is there an obvious point at where I should begin? Thanks for your help.

    Some reflections on the Camino del Norte

    I have a maximum of 12 days and I want to finish my walk in Santiago. I plan to go next weekend and wondered where might be a good place to aim to begin? Clearly this is a bit rushed but if I can see a suitable route with decent access I will go.

    Camino in April

    I walked from Leon on the 19th of March and finished 16 days later in Finisterre. I encountered beautiful warm sunny days and others that were cold and wet. There was snow at the iron cross and the walk from Lafaba was a bit tricky because of snow. The bad weather means that when a beautiful day...

    LISBON TO SANTIAGO

    I have recently completed Leon-Finnisaire by foot and was thinking doing Lisbon-Santiago on Bike. Could anyone give me some idea of distance between the two and how long it might take?

    Is there a list of hostals?

    Red Albergues leaflet? So when I get to Leon next Thursday at around 6.00 pm I will make my way to the Cathedral to collect my passport? and what else should I be picking up there? The route looks reasonably well planned but I guess when I look at it on paper it might be easier than the actual...

    Is there a list of hostals?

    Thank you so much for the information provided. When I asked for recommendations I did it not fully understanding the amount available and the size and services offered. I have been getting organised for about ten days now. It will be my first walk on the Camino Frances. I can see how by...

    Is there a list of hostals?

    Is there a list of hostals along the walk, perhaps recommendations and ones you might avoid if you have the chance? Thanks Paul

    Starting from Leon on Good Friday-Passport

    Can anyone tell me if I will be able to get a passport on this day and can they suggest where I could collect it? It is my first visit and will be arriving from the UK via Madrid the day before. Thank you also for this amazing site, full of invaluable information. I am walking to Finisterre and...
