My 8yo is walking from Leon to Santiago starting on the 22nd. His sherpa dad me is also going.
We are raising money for hospices in Ireland, so if you see him on the trail maybe share a photo.
We are planning to walk this in 16 days from Valverde de la virgen past Leon to Santiago, exactly...
Completed the 11 day 300km walk. You can find the camino I took on http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/user.do?name=Robert+Nugent&id=1927526
I don't have words to say how much I enjoyed it. If I could bottle it I would. Wish I had more days, but the 11 I did was fine. I would recommend you to do...
Suggestion. I stayed in the spectacular Tineo Palacios Meras hostel, probably one of the best hostels. Saturday morning the weather was spectacular, I was going to walk to Borres and stay there, but took at taxi from Tineo to Borres and did the Hospitales route. It was spectacular. It's a...
arrived to Berducedo today after doing the hospitals route. The place was all full booked out. Lots of walkers so book in advance (just call a day before )
Hi, for any Irish Pilgrims wondering about getting to Oviedo to start the Primitivo.
There is a Ryanair flight to Santander every Wednesday and Sunday, the flight gets in at a good time to get an ALSA bus from Santander to Oviedo. https://www.alsa.es

When I was preparing for the Portuguese camino I found a page a group had created for their camino.
So here is mine, I will put up some photos along the way. I know some people like the mystery of just walking into the unknown. I like to be a little better prepared and I find you see better...
When I did the Portuguese route last year it rained solid for 4 days. When I say it rained, I mean I walked for 4 days with it raining non stop the whole time. It resorted to my buying an umbrella and walking under it, (and I was not the only one doing it).
So does it rain much on other...
Finshed the Porto to SDC route. I liked the O Porrino Green route. Portugal was spectacular. Km after KM of Grapes on Vines and Corn. Albergue were pretty good, esp the new one on Barcelinhos and Rubiaes. The Tui route in Spain was pretty commercial, But visiting Herbon Monastery near Padron...
Hi, How much of the camino from Porto is on road. I did camino from Astorga and I liked the off-road path parts or the country side roads. So how much of the Porto to SDC is like this? I have already been told NOT to walk out of porto, but to get the metro to Maia. So I suppose my question...
Hi, Arriving to Porto from Dublin on the 30th of May next year. Hoping to do the Camino in 8-9 days probably fly back to Ireland 10th of June. Anyone out there doing the camino around the same time? Its my second so I pretty much know what to expect, have done Astorga to SDC 2 years ago.
Just finished my 8day 270km walk. The forum was of great help. ( i will never book an albergue again)
To all who have not done the camino listen to the posts... Its all words of wisdom that help..
Flying from dublin to santander today i checked in my bag to bring the poles, so did others or sent them ahead. since most of use had 7-8 kg backpacks seemed a waste to checkin just for the poles... But we all could have put the poles in one bag ..
Why not have a thread on those traveling on...
