    VDLP - How it differs from Francés- Starting Jan 15

    Sarah I plan to start walking from Sevilla on 10 January 2018. Like you I have given myself 3 weeks to reach Salamanca. Our paths may cross at some stage. Buen Camino

    Cadiz to Sevilla & onwards North -VDLP

    Thank you all for the valuable advice. My only complaint about this Forum is that there is so much advice & knowledge that it is sometimes difficult to find exactly the information that you require. But having said that it is a pretty good complaint to have. I have since reviewed my plans...

    Map or Poster

    Guys, Not an equipment post, more like an accessory or souvenir even. I am looking to purchase online if possible a poster size map of France/Spain that shows the various different routes/Caminos that converge on Santiago. I have seen several different types on walls etc in Albergues along...

    Walking primitivo

    Dear Lainey, I just finished the Primitivo on Aug 30. Brilliant can't recommend it highly enough. Below is an extract from my journal on how I got there. By the way I only booked the outgoing flight 3 weeks in advance and still got it for €74. If you wish for a full copy of my journal just PM me...

    Outdoor Shops in Santiago

    Guys & Girls, I shall be in Santiago at the end of the month after hopefully completing the Camino Primitivo from Oviedo and taking in the Finisterre/Muxia loop. I fancy some "Retail Therapy" for future Caminos and would like to know of any outdoor shops that sell clothing and equipment...

    Camino Lebanigo - Any Info ?

    I agree with you 100% Laurie. If and when I do it I will start in San Vincente. While the albergue in Comillias is one of my favourites I think that the route to Potes is long enough especially as I intend to do it in 2 days. Thanks again Paul

    Camino Lebanigo - Any Info ?

    Guys many thanks for the very useful information. I didn't know about the Camino Vadiniense and the forum on it will be very useful. I will avoid a winter trip, besides it is much more practical for me to wait for the summer schedule for the airlines that fly direct to/from Dublin to...

    Hello all, Heading off to the Camino Primitivo, Finisterre - Muxia loop and Camino Ingles if time permits on 10 August. Looking forward to it but already planning my next trip. I find that the next best thing about being on the Camino is planning the next one. A couple of years ago while...

    Where to Find a Credencial in Seville (Update February 2013)

    Having just finished a rather wet trip out to Finisterre I flew down to Seville from Santiago for a few days. Many friends had told me how beautiful it was and Iam interested in attempting the Via de la Plata in the future. The Amigos have an office @: Calle Castilla 82, and the opening hours...

    Temporary closure of the CSJ refuge at Miraz

    Started walking from Gijon on 06 April, torrential rain for the first 3 days. Having said that it was still a lot warmer than Ireland was at the same time. I wore shorts everyday only putting on over trousers for the really heavy rain. After that we had a mixture of sunshine, rain and hail...

    April 2013

    I walked from St Jean Pied De Port to Burgous last July on the French Route with my wife, then returned in August and walked from Irun to Ribedesalla on the Northern route in August on my own. I enjoyed them both but for different reasons. The French route was better serviced with Auberges...

    Gijon - Credentials ?
