    pension or hotel in Redondela?

    It doesn't matter where you stay as long as you DON'T stay in Redondela. There is nothing, absolutely nothing in this town. It has nothing to offer a pilgrim. No restaurants except for cafe/bars with snacks. No friendly people. Two albergues that fill up fast. It is a dump and should be...

    Live Webcams in Porto (not the beaches)

    My friend had such a good time taking screen captures of me in Irache last year while I was on the Camino Frances. It would be nice if he could do it again when I am in Porto. Are there any live webcams in Porto near the cathedral or other monuments ? http://baguette.over-blog.fr/article-15...

    Porto to Santiago in 10 days?

    Good luck to you. I am sure that ten days will be enough. Perhaps I will see you along the trail in May as I will begin in Porto also. I've no schedule and hope to spend as much time as I can visiting all of the sights along the way. http://baguette.over-blog.fr/

    Pilgrim's Guide Suggestions

    Hello everyone. I used the Brierley guide during my Camino Frances this year and will use the Portugues guide next year when I walk with my friends from Porto. They're pretty good...I like the maps and the albergue suggesions. Anyway, after our arrival in Santiago, my friends will all fly...

    Best time of the year to go?

    There's no question about it. The best time of year to walk the camino is mid-May and June. If you begin in mid-May, you will see beautiful green fields of wheat and lush forests of eucalyptus. If you start any later than that, everything is a dull, bleak, brown. The weather in May is much...

    Backpack Taxis?

    Lazy... That's all it is. Lazy... Elitist ? Snob ? Thanks for not judging me.

    Backpack Taxis?

    Don't go if you can't carry your own bag ! What would our medieval ancestors think ? "Oh, pennance doesn't have to hurt ! Put my pack on Heloise's donkey !"

    Dinner and the Spanish life style

    TERRIBLE PLACE TO EAT in Mansilla de las Mulas Food on the Camino is pretty much the same (some better, some worse) when you compare it to the SLOP served at Casa Marcelo Restaurant in Mansilla de las Mulas ! Oh my goodness ! DO NOT EAT THERE. Trust me on this. The "ding" from the microwave...
