    Should I miss out Bilbao to Portugalese

    That was a bit harsh and I apologise for misrepresenting myself. Halkido (J/P), ~Take care!

    Should I miss out Bilbao to Portugalese

    J/P... you're leaving tomorrow? "I an l to Bilbao on 13th September to walk from Bilbao to Santander" Do what you feel is right! Your Camino is your own. It doesn't matter what anybody else here has to say as long as you stay true to yourself. Happy trails my friend, buen camino! ~T/H...

    Compostelas in Finisterra

    I didn't realise that a Fisterana was available. After Santiago I kept walking to Finisterra getting stamps in my "Way of St James"credentials. Does anyone know if I contact the municipal albergue and send them a copy of my credentials I'll be able to have a Fisterana sent to me? I'll pay for...

    At home now, and how crazy have I become?

    When I returned from my first Camino I felt trapped and had dreams about burning my house down, losing all of my possessions and hitting the path again. All I've thought about for a year is the Camino and at this moment I'm on the Portuguese route. It's a way of life now. Going Camino...

    Should I miss out Bilbao to Portugalese

    The bus from the Airport stops at around 23:30 so you should be OK. It costs around €3 and takes you into the centre of Bilbao, dropping you off right next to a metro station if I remember correctly. Check this but I'm fairly sure I'm right. Edit: I think the bus goes every half an hour. You...

    Should I miss out Bilbao to Portugalese

    Just read your original post again.... you're stopping at Santander.... well, have fun anyway. In my defense I'm a little bit drunk on cheap Portuguese wine after a 30km walk.

    Should I miss out Bilbao to Portugalese

    Hello, I did the northern Camino last year and if there's a stage you skip by all accounts it's this one. I skipped it because lost luggage set my friend and I back 2 days on an already tight schedule. If we hadn't had to deal with that we probably would have followed the advice of our guide...

    Coastal Camino from Lisbon

    Hello All, I’m currently on the Camino do Mar on the way to Bombarral. Does anybody know of a pousada or albergue at the end of this stage? Also looking for the same at Caldas do Rainha and Alcobaça. When reading about this Camino I didn’t realise there were so many mountains. Thanks

    Other Month Long Hikes

    Hi All, I've jut finished the Camino del Norte and was amazed at how beautiful it was. 28 days walking from Bilbao to Santiago and I loved every moment. I'll do a camino again in the future but next year I'm thinking of going outside of Europe. Does anybody have any recommendations of other...

    GPS vs Smart Phone for route tracking

    Great, that's another app I'll consider. Thanks. I need a new phone so my priority is battery life first, camera quality second. Can't wait to get going!!!!

    GPS vs Smart Phone for route tracking

    To be honest, I think I was over thinking the situation.

    GPS vs Smart Phone for route tracking

    Thank you very much for your advice but I'm allergic to Apples.

    GPS vs Smart Phone for route tracking

    I wish I'd known this before spending €40 on the panels. I bought them on Amazon and they were highly rated. I went for the 7W for faster phone charging. I'll test them over the next few weeks in the magnificent Dutch sunshine and let you know how they function. As for the GPS watch...

    GPS vs Smart Phone for route tracking

    If I remember right I had 30 minutes before I had to work when I posted my request. Didn't have anywhere near enough time to go through the information in this section of the forum. Anyway, my request has paid off. I've had my question answered. I've decided not to buy the Garmin. When my...
