    Starting in Logroño 10/08/2020

    By shortening the Camino from Porto to Tui, it became a really short Camino. I have decided to start a new one. Due to some transportation difficulties, Saint Jean, Roncesvalles or Pamplona were a bit difficult to reach and I decided to start in Logroño. Tomorrow I will travel to Logroño and...

    LIVE from the Camino First pilgrims

    I saw today the first two groups of pilgrims crossing my hometown. One group of two and one of four. I asked them how many pilgrims were on the way and how about the albergues. They told me that there were between 4 and 6 pilgrims in the albergue and that most of the albergues were open. Not...

    Starting on July 15 2020 CF or CN

    I am planning to start the Camino on July 15. What I'm not sure is whether to start in SJPdP (Camino Frances) or to start in Irún (Camino del Norte). Considering the weather, the logical option would be to start in Irún, but on the other hand, the opportunity to walk the CF during the summer and...

I plan to start in SJPdP on 11/25 or 11/24 in order to arrive to SdC on 12/30 and still count with a couple of days to rest somewhere if needed. This ceremony doesn´t happen every year (latest one was on 2010 and the next one will be on...

    Is there any way to find out the number of pilgrims per month on the Camino Olvidado?

    I would really like to walk this Camino. I guess not being so popular (at least today) it would be wise to walk in the peak season (which I guess will be between July and September). Anyway, I would like to know if, even in the peak season, there are a minimum number of pilgrims. It's not too...

    300 km to get the compostela

    Some time ago, it was a strong move to modify the requirements for the Compostela from 100 km to 300 km. It seemed that most organizations related to the Camino agreed with that modification. Does anyone know if this idea is still alive? I really love the idea. It seems to me that this will...

    Hi all!! I will start a new Camino in Leon on May 25 (sleeping the night 24/25 in Albergue San Francisco de Asis) Initially I intend to take the Camino Frances, but if I find that the Frances is REALLY crowded I might take the "El Salvador" + Primitivo.

    Will the Camino be too crowded at the end of May?

    How full do you think the Camino Frances will be, between Leon and Santiago, during the last week of May and the first of June? I plan to start in Leon on May 24 ... but I'm still in time to move to Norte or Primitivo. I wouldn´t like to have to rush to get to the albergues as soon as possible...

    Track Leon - Santiago

    In case this could be useful for anyone: I attached a track (kmz) of the road between León and Santiago that I prepared for my son (in case we split up at some point,...). On the track I marked the villages where you can find albergues and the villages where there are some interesting...

    Services provided by hospitaleros

    Hi! I am right now in an albergue as hospitalero. It really surprise me how few pilgrims use the services that the hospitaleros can provide. In my opinion, it is a little shocking that almost no any pilgrim ask about which are the difficulties in the next stages, wich could be the adventages...

    Hi!! After being in Calzada del Coto I registered in another albergue: Domus Dei in Ponferrada. I will be there from May 1 to 15. I liked Calzada del Coto (and I hope that the pilgrims also liked it there!). One of the people from the village invited us to his wine cellar. An incredible wine...
