    Detours and byways

    Auch! Peter Sorry I mixed towns up - too many places, so little time! It is not Albi. It is AUCH where we followed the arrow up the hills to the cathedral. We left town before I had a chance to visit the local tourism office. Today we are in Bordeaux and follow the bronze scallops on the...

    Detours and byways

    I am in Albi, France at the moment and followed the yellow arrow up to the cathedral where the camino sign promptly disappears. How I wish I could follow the trail to SdC one more time. Maybe next year or year after next when I will start from Paris and do it all, 2,000 km or so! For all of...

    Yellow arrows = how do I miss thee!

    Hi perigrinos/nas all, We are in Salamanca right now and seeing the scallop sign at the Peunte Romana crossing the River Duero brings back all the fond memories of the Camino. It's only a month ago but we do miss our time on the trail so much. Wonder how you guys/gals are doing right now on...

    Walking part of Caminho Portugues Tui-Santiago in early July

    We was in Tui yesterday and saw the oh so familiar yellow arrow on the wall in front of the parador. Then we went for our dinner in the old town. The yellow arrow points the way up to the cathedral. We tried to follow the signs around Tui - a bit confusing so wonder if the pilgrims on this...

    You can do the whole camino not staying at the albergues

    For all of you who have PM me, please wait a bit as I am still on the road and it would take time to compile the whole list. Try to do my best as soon as possible. In Leon, the tourist office near the cathedrale has excellent booklet on rural tourism in Castille y Leon. The booklet lists all...

    You can do the whole camino not staying at the albergues

    After the camino I went by public transport touring the Costa da Meurte and now back in Santiago again cooling my heels until tomorrow when we leave for Portugal. I have posted much early on when preparing my walk if it is possible to stay in private accommodation all the way through without...

    Baio´s secret garden

    If you continue on to Fisterra by bus, certain buses require change at Baio. This drab little town has no charm and Arriva definitely see no reason why they should set up an office or even stop by a cafe or bar to facilitate their clients. Do not despair if you are in the same situation as I...

    Clothes washing?

    Happiness is a clean clothe... We always ask the tourist office for lavandaria (in big towns like Logrono, Burgos, Leon ,etc). My husband and I plan for a week of wearing the same pants(the zipped off one is the best - drip dry type),two shirts being washed every other day in the bathroom...

    To go or not to go - to the end of the known world

    Anybody in SdC now and want to walk to Finisterre in a day or two? SdC is a very nice city deserving a few days of rest but my itching feet seem not to get to rest until we make it to the end of the world. Wonder if any of you who is currently in town wants to go the whole nine yard. Please...

    Santiago here we are!

    After 38 days and nearly 800 kms (the detour to Samos certainly added on the mileage) later, we arrived in Santiago yesterday morning in time for the pilgrims´mass. Stumbling out of O´Pino hostal at Rua at 0530 am is not my idea of fun but my husband and two other friends have to...

    Where is the man with a pram?

    On leaving Burgos, we caught up with a man (Spanish I guess) who pushed a baby's pram on the camino with his backpack in it, piled on top with fruits and some vegs. My Spanish is so limited I couldn't ask him where he has started and how soon he plans to reach SdC. We left him in Tardajoz and...

    La Parva

    The Romand road from outside Carrion de los Condes to Cadazilla de la Cueza is stony and hard on the soles for those who wear soft soled running shoes. Make sure you life your feet high and don´t hit many stones along the way. The straight as arrow trail is lined with purple blue wild...

    Flower Walk Fromista to Carrion de los Condes

    I always follow the yellow arrow religiously (no pun intended) and feel a bit apprehensive to veer off the beaten track. Guidebooks describes a boring 9 km walk from Poblacion del Campo to Carrion on the gravel path running alongside the highway. The alternate route is by the riverside even...

    Amazing Hontanas

    We left Burgos with heavy heart looking the cloud laden sky and prepared for the worst. It has been quite chilly the night before and I wish we could stay on for one more day! Surprisingly the sun shines brightly as soon as we left the city through the Pimgrim´s Gate. Guidebooks warn...

    Entering Najera in the rain

    Still in Burgos Sounding so precious? I reread my post again and can't see how you reached that conclusion. I spent sometime on extra rest day here in Burgos and thought the walk into town could be through the riverside as suggested buy several guidebooks. Given choices of either dragging...
