    VDLP APRIL 2016...Seville...Who's starting out on the camino in April?

    Hi Patrick, thanks so much for posting. Ive bought Gerald Kelly's book and I agree it will be a useful companion. Sadly missed though is John Brierley's detailed information with elevations and coloured riute system etc. That being said its a great start and I will be happy to top this up with...

    Following the gleam once again

    I am a part of all that I have met; Yet all experience is an arch wherethro' Gleams that untravell'd world whose margin fades For ever and forever when I move.

    Sexual assault in Feb 2015

    Hi Ivar, thank you for posting this, what an awful this experience for this poor individual to have gone through. I wish this person a speedy recovery to full confidence and health again. The Camino should be a beautiful experience for all that endeavour I am saddened that a few despicable...

    Cheapest Way to Way

    Many bars in Spain will often give you a few tapas with your drink it's quite traditional. I'm not quite sure why they do it but I think that there may be a slight obligation to buy a second drink or tempt your tastebuds sufficiently to perhaps order something more substantial either way it's a...

    Cheapest Way to Way

    Very often there will only be a few people staying. Sometimes you can have a place almost to yourself. I personally would not go down the tent route. It won't save you money in the long run as your knees feet and an uncomfortable nights sleep will reap any financial benefits

    Late afternoon landing in Biarritz... Will I make it to Saint-Jean?

    By the way Musicman when did you travel the VDLP ? What are your thoughts about this Camino? Any problems along the way? Difficult? Easy? What about the distance between the villages and places to stay?

    Cheapest Way to Way

    It won't be possible to stay " outside" many of the Albergues in a tent as a lot of them are in towns or built up areas. Why pay 8-10 € ? And stay outside. It's not always safe too. Items do get stolen and the weather is not always brilliant...

    Cheapest Way to Way

    Hi Last year a few Peregrinos used tents. They were very heavy to carry in the heat along with the equipment needed to support that idea, cooking, water, washing yourself and your socks shirts and underwear. Carrying food. Some Minicipal Albergues are almost free €5 per night and you can shower...
