    Camino Madrid - accommodation, etc.

    Hello, I walked it in 2019, just before Covid. I had a daily blog for the whole Camino, so if you want to look at that you can send me a personal message and I can give you my blog site. Of the four full Caminos I’ve trekked, Francis, Plata, Portuguese, it was my favorite. Only saw about 8-10...

    Ferry to Spain from Caminha

    I don’t know about now, but twice when I’ve had to cross there the ferry wasn’t running because the tide was low, but there was a man there with a small power boat that took me across for less than €10. He was docked near the ticket office for the ferry. The first time I used him I was told...

    Gore tex shoes or boots?

    I think breathable or waterproof material like Gore-tex or eVent type material is a matter of preference. I have trekked over 13,000 miles in the last six years, and I try to always wear somewhat waterproof boots, but I think it’s still a personal choice, as is noted in many of the responses. I...

    Across the US on foot in 1980

    Thank you for sharing a story that is an inspiring story for me, and keeps me motivated to hopefully achieve my goal of trekking across the USA. I had actually planned to start a trek from my home in California across the USA last February, 2020, but covid unfortunately kept me from starting. I...

    Hiking Trailer for a dog, advice

    Hello Everyone, I actually trekked from my home in Southern California to Canada, four Caminos (Plata, Francis, Madrid & Portugues), and the length of New Zealand (3/19 - 5/19) with the Wheelie, a two wheel hiking cart. I had up to 85 pounds of weight in it when I was in the desert and needed...

    Invitation to “join” me in NZ

    It took me almost three months. You can see my blogs on that trek at tedtrekking.com. Love trekking in New Zealand! The people there were the best thing!

    Invitation to “join” me in NZ

    You Kiwis always make me smile! Last September I trekked the Camino Portuguese, Lisbon to Santiago, but four months earlier I trekked most of the length of New Zealand, from the South Island at Invercargill to the North Island at Taupo, and I found you Kiwis some of the friendliest people in the...

    My (leisurely) stages on the Camino de Madrid

    Wow, reading all the descriptions of the Madrid makes we want to trek it again. I just finished the Camino Portugués, from Lisbon to Santiago this May, and though it was wonderful my mind kept drifting back to the Madrid. I trekked the Madrid in May of 2018 not really researching or knowing much...

    SIM card

    Hello, I am surprised by how few people know about Lebara cell service, it is great and cheap! I have used it twice on Caminos, the last time May, 2019, when I trekked the Camino de Madrid to Santiago. I actually got my SIM card from a vendor in front of the Orange store in Madrid. You can...
