    Camino Frances in May or June - which would you prefer?

    Having walked many caminos at varying times of the year (I generally leave Australia for the warmth of the northern hemisphere during our winter.) What I have learned is that the camino angels and demons appear no matter what the time of year. It is how you deal with them at the time that...

    Advice on storing a bicycle

    Hello, I have done this on 2 occasions so far travelling with my partner on bikes then leaving them to walk a camino. Once into Paris and once into Prague. In Paris, we booked the Nomad Paris Roissy hotel when we landed from Australia with our bikes (they had a shuttle that would fit the bikes...

    I think I'm losing it

    Oh how wonderful to know there are so many others with my obsession. Since my first Camino in 2003 on a bike and then first time walk in 2009 I have managed to walk a camino almost every year somewhere in Spain and have gone stir crazy over the last 2 years not able to even contemplate getting...

All available albergues were open, but I believe this year there may be a problem for the stretch after cacer de caceres. Check locally. The only issue for me was the heat...

    LIVE from the Camino Al The Optimist starts from Almeria

    Well done Al, but I am about 2 days out of Merida having left Almeria on 5 May and reading your message I wondered whether we had travelled the same route. Certainly a couple of rough mountain tracks that almost beat me, and the usual challenging weather conditions. Met 4 British, one French, a...

    Have any of you left the Camino and done long walks elsewhere?

    I too have a long distance walking addiction. And am working my way through Spain coz it is such an amazing and simple way to feed my addiction. There are many walks in all parts of the world, but none that I have found that provide such fabulous infrastructure. I can no longer carry the weight...
