    The VDLP guidebook and some useful advice for future hikers

    I only used Gerald Kelly's app in March/April this year and found it fine for my needs. In conjunction with the WindyMaps app I had all I needed. ( WindyMaps app is fantastic; any moment I was unsure I could check and always find the route. It was especially good for getting in and out if towns...

    VdlP in February?

    I started 1st March just gone and had more or less perfect weather. Think it is just the luck of the draw with the weather. I probably would have liked walking in February too as it was pretty hot in March this year. It definitely got colder as I went north but not so much that it was...

    Albergue in between Negreira and Olveiroa

    S Superb Albergue with great food and excellent host

    Weight, and how its discussion is terrifying me.

    On the VLDP recently a Hospitelario carried my pack - unrequested by me - into the dormitory and pronounced "it's too heavy". I won't write what I felt like saying but it wasn't very polite. I am a large person with big everything. I'm walking for 4 months and have a few extras (2 passports...

    Fantastic Albergue Monte Aro in Lago

    Good stages but as another option instead of Cee go a few more Kms to the Albergue San Roque. It's not far from Cee and is open all year and donativo. I stayed there and the Hospitelarios had come for 2 weeks from somewhere near Valencia. They cooked me a lovely meal and took me out to see the...

    Fantastic Albergue Monte Aro in Lago

    As mentioned earlier, it's about 27 Kms from Negreira in a little village called Lago. Also able to be located on Google Maps by typing in Albergue Monte Aro Lago. Will give you exact location. Megg

    Walking from the Faro de Fisterra to Fisterra at night

    Yes I did! Twice in fact. I went via that beach on the way over the top to Faro but I had the pleasure of being taken there the evening before by the 2 Hospitelieros at Albergue San Roque. I was the only pilgrim in the Albergue that evening and as we were doing the dishes they suddenly said...

    Waterproof pants

    Rainskirt gets my vote too. Mine is silnylon and weighs almost nothing. So much better than a a coat etc

    Reading book worth carrying?

    I'm read 'The Unnamed' by Joshua Ferris, about a man who has a mysterious condition in which he is compelled to walk. Megg

    Fantastic Albergue Monte Aro in Lago

    Using Google maps type in 'Albergue Lires' and it should show up. Is newish but not totally new. Has bar/restaurant attached and hotel as well as Albergue I think

    Non-Catholic on the Camino

    Likewise, I feel strongly compelled too walk without fully understanding why and that's ok for me and I don't care what others think...it no one else business. It was really interesting for me to be asked by the Hospiteliero at Fuenterroble on the VLDP 'why are you walking'. I had no answer and...

    10 extra days after reaching Santiago: where next

    I'm in the same position as you are and so have walked to Finisterre, Muxia, Dumbria and will go back to Santiago tomorrow by bus and head to the Camino Ingles - probably from A Coruna as I don't think I have quite enough time for Ferrol. Megg

    Walking from the Faro de Fisterra to Fisterra at night

    Just using Windy Maps (which is a super brilliant map app - so helpful on my walk from Seville) there are a few little walking tracks over the top. Google maps doesnt show the walking routes as Windy Maps does - it is SO good! Head up a street called 'Camino Insua' and you will find a walking...

    Fantastic Albergue Monte Aro in Lago

    Hi Dominique Lago is on the route to Finisterre (it is not between Finisterre and Muxia). It's about 27 Kms from Negreira. I decided to stay there rather than walk further to Olveida. People who walk from Santiago to Finisterre and want to do the route in 3 days would walk further than Lago but...
