    New members and old posts

    In a forum that celebrates a special place in the world, where everyone is equal and we all in the same effort to achieve the same destiny, for me, this is wrong. A newbiehas every right to write as much as he want. And why should I opened a new topic if there is one, even if it is old, that...

    Inglés June 2-6

    First of all, nice description of what I´m planning to be my next Camino. In Betanzos, where did you sleep? I saved the other acommodations that you refer on the other points but I think that you didnt mentioned where you stayed in Betanzos.

    Caminho Interior Português in 2020

    Thanks for all your help. But there was a change of plans and I´ll be doing the Camino Inglês instead of the CPI. There is a friend of mine that asked me if I could change my plans so he can join us and we all agreed. Time was the main reason to change it, the Inglês can be made in 5 or 6 days...

    Caminho Interior Português in 2020

    My initial plan is to start in Chaves and do the CPI, via Allariz, as I said in my first post. The user @amancio spoke about the Laza alternative, doing the Sanabrés.

    Caminho Interior Português in 2020

    Although I was planning to go via Allariz I can think in others routes. But can I get to Santiago in 7 days from Laza? Seems like to many kms to do in 7 days

    Raincoat or poncho?

    For me, poncho all the way. I made the mistake of not taking one in my last camino and, in a heavy rainy day before arriving Redondela, I was dry but the backpack, even with the rain protection, as wet. So next time I´ll buy a poncho for sure.

    My first Camino in April'19- Recommendations

    Today I started using my nem boots, that I received in the past Monday, a Bestard Trotter II. A 12 kms hike in road and forest tracks. Even using hiking socks, by Lurbel, I had 2 not blisters, but beginning of blisters. That medium pain that you know if you walk 2 or 3 more kms will become a...

    My first Camino in April'19- Recommendations

    I will start in Valença because of the feeling of beginning in Portugal, just a simbolic thing. But I will not sleep in Valença, my first stop will be in Porriño. In Redondela we choose an albergue named Conserveira...

    My first Camino in April'19- Recommendations

    Hum, that's true, the traditional Albergues interesse accept rreservation. I call them Albergues because they call themselves that. For example, in Porrino I will stay in a place called "Albergue Camiño Português". Other one, in Caldas de Reis, is called "Albergue Agarimo". They are very...

    My first Camino in April'19- Recommendations

    Thank you all for the feedback. One of the backpacks I saw and liked is the Lowa Alpine Airzone 35:45. Nice and comfortable, main part of the weight is all in the hips. Any of you already try one of these? I took your advice, and the previous ones, and already booked all the accommodations...
