    The Way, My Way - the movie

    I was fortunate to view this movie before it went into the post production stage, and I can say with no exaggeration that this is the best I’ve viewed. It has real pilgrims, a warm story about a man finding himself, and the photography lends a background that rivals any other. I would say it’s...

    Hi Jenny, I’m not sure if I’ve missed something or you haven’t been able to post any more information on the movie premiere. Do you know any more about it, thanks Steve

    Certificate for SDC to Finisterre and Muxia

    You need one stamp on the way to Muxia. Get one at Linares ( is that how you spell it). If no one is there, you do your own stamp. Both certificates are beautiful and make lovely memories

    Cruise ships in Finisterre

    ‘No one asked me’, I love it, but on a more serious note, no one asked me either. This whole cruise industry doesn’t have the local community in mind. It all about profit. I’m not having a go at passengers; if it’s available and interests them, they are entitled to go. The local economy wouldn’t...

    Any advice for when you want to quit?

    Hi, my advice is don’t. As others have advised, seek medical advice, even just talk to a pharmacist. Regret is a heavy burden to carry. I’ve done the Francés 3 times and the third time, alone, was the best. Early on that Camino I had serious men challenges- why am I not doing a different route...

    Taxi from Atapuerca to Burgos

    I caught a taxi from Atapuerca to Burgos in 2014. The driver charged a set rate until we reached the edge of Burgos and the flicked the meter on to finish the journey. €35 was expensive but you are captive to their rates. We really had no other option. I’ve walked it twice since and the river...

    Porta Potties between towns

    The rest rooms between towns are called Trees. Just be careful if you need one. A dig and bury your own waste policy is a good one. I only got caught out once and was seconds from disaster so I can provide an extra tip. Don’t buy any freshly squeezed orange juice from roadside vendors who leave...

    Accommodation?

    2pm arrival is good, but I turned up early at an Albergue once only to be confronted with a pile of suitcases and the news that if these people don’t arrive by 4pm, I might get in. I would book ahead these days. It’s just a phone call and gives peace of mind. BTW I had to walk another 8kms for a...

    Misa de Peregrino at Leon or Astorga.

    In Leon, I found the mass at Basilica Isidoro very moving. Pilgrims are brought up to the alter as a group and a blessing is made. After mass, pilgrims are greeted individually by the priest at the back of the alter, sacristy?, and leve vía a side door , passing an ancient part of the original...

    Am I packing too much?

    No phone or electronics. look like a reasonable list to me . I’ve walked the Francés 3 times and always think I have too much. If you can comfortably carry it, take it. One thing that’s a bit out there and is never mentioned is one of those small plastic hooks that you can on a shower door. Buy...

    Camino Dos Faros

    Good on you. I’ve looked at this one; even bought the guide, but haven’t ever heard from someone doing it. Do you have a blog or another way to follow it. Maybe report back through this site. It looks amazing but , from Australia, I just haven’t been able to organise myself. And you have the...

    Question about Roman road route from Calzadilla de los Hermanillos to Mansilla de las Mulas

    Hi, I’ve done this and it’s a lesser followed pearl of the Camino. You do pass through Reliegos and there’s a chance of a drink and a rest. Just do it. The isolation and scenery are the reward.

    Flightbag

    I bought one of those cheap striped zip up bags at a grocery/ bits and bobs shop in Santiago. I think it was on the way in jus before you get to San Martin’s near the Cathedral. It fitted my pack, poles and anything else that I may have bought. For added security I used grey duct tape and wound...
