    LIVE from the Camino On my way on the Camino del Salvador

    Hi folks, been offline for a good bit. Just to give two clarifications.. The dog is/was on the route to San Miguel from Puerta de Pajares and not on the route to Pajares. I understand he is known, and Sandra told me he has bitten someone before. We went to the cops, not interested. The other...

    COVID 8 days left of Camino Frances and too sick to walk

    You're not in the states. Please read the post from the moderator. I've nothing further to add to that.

    Don't be scared Collette. Yes, Llanos is Cascoux and I had great communication with him too until the day I arrived in Llanos, but the guy was sick so fair enough - I'm not a people person when I'm ill. The mask could have been for any reason and he probably didn't want the hassle of an extra...

    Day 5 and a great day. Compared to yesterday I thought the whole walk was really nice, and handy enough although there were three hills so not just a flat walk. Loved the roman roads after the league marker.. But 1 1/2 leagues was a bit further than expected :D Seriously though, a nice...

    COVID 8 days left of Camino Frances and too sick to walk

    This is simply not true and dangerous disinformation. The rules on self isolation depend on the seriousness of symptoms and the age of the patient

    Day 4 was a late start, chilled in Benduenos until 10. First few km of the day was nice, walking to Iglesia de Santa Cristina de Lena. The church was open and it was beautiful. Continued along the river to Pola De Lena and after that was not impressed with the rest of the day. Rough and dirty...

    I do Bob, and now that I read again I think it's the same route? This was where I went left and about 3+ km later met Cujo

    At home you'd pick up a rock and the dog would run. However, I had read up on this possibility so I'd know what to do if it happened. I learned that these dogs are built for wolves and have no fear. Threatening one is likely to escalate the situation and be a recipe for disaster. Update is...

    So day three.. a day of ups and downs quite literally. Met Ender the previous evening at the Posada, lovely man. Asked about the "short cut" that avoids St Martin and he said it's no problem to walk it it's just the landowner won't allow it to be marked. Lovely views at the start but then was...

    LIVE from the Camino On my way on the Camino del Salvador

    Well, thankfully Bob was right.. no flies on day two :D Cold start, 7 celcius but that's summer in ireland so I had a grand walk out of La Robla, nice and mainly off road and not too taxing until Pola De Gordon. This has the last supermarket/shop for 50 (yes that's FIFTY) km so I got some bits...

    LIVE from the Camino On my way on the Camino del Salvador

    Hi folks, I may be too tired too follow up each day, but here's my day one on the Salvador today. Very tired, but wanted to share three things that saved my day, all thanks to stuff I learned from the folks on this forum. Food. Water. Flies (yes, you read that right, flies). I took the...

    Once again, thanks everyone for all the advice and encouragement. I've a taxi picking me in 4 hours to go to the airport and catch a 6 am flight to Madrid. Get to Leon on Monday and will be on the San Salvador on Tuesday morning all going to plan.

    Spur of the moment!

    one tip if it's getting crowded after Tui is to consider doing the spiritual variant.. I did this in June and as soon as I turned left when everyone else was turning right I was back in heaven 😁 no crowds, and a beautiful walk. Highly recommended. The onl thing you might want to do is need to...

    Personal report: my most challenging day on the Salvador

    Thanks a million for all the info. I just checked out the posada - loved the idea of a pool - but the website is quoting pilgrim price of €45 which is a bit much for me. All going well, I should be in Pajares on the 6th which is a Thursday so both places in Puerto de Pajares should be open...
