    Padornelo Tunnel

    Planning for VDLP part 2 continues. After a break in Salamanca to visit all those places suggested in the other thread, I'm now looking into the Sanabres section. It all looks straightforward apart from the section between Requejo and Lubián. I can see the N-525 plays a large part but when...

    OSM Project: Albergues on the Caminos

    As there is a lot of information on camino routes (gpx files) and a lot of information on albergues in Open Street Map (OSM), I thought I would put it together to help me with my planning. It may be useful to others...

    Camino a San Andrés de Teixido

    By accident, I found myself on this new Camino in early December 2022. Not the best time to visit you would have thought, but as fate would have it, the weather was excellent. On return I decided to look into a bit more about the route(s) to Saint Andrews. Firstly there are a whole bunch of...

    Going home - again.

    I've already come home from a September Norte, but I have to return to Vigo next week to pick up my bike which I left with family there. Now I could take the train back but thought I might combine the Ingles with Ruta do Mar to Ribadeo as I liked the Norte so much. Weather forecast for Santiago...

    Norte side trip: Baamonde - Muxia - Fisterra - SdC

    Planning a Norte trip for later this year and looking to see if it is possible to take a side trip to Muxia/Fisterra and then finishing at SdC. Never been to Muxia or Fisterra so it would be a new destination for me. Looks like I would cross the Ingles at Siguerio. Has anyone tried this or...

    LIVE from the Camino Walking the VDLP from Seville: Overcoming Injury and Seeking Credencial

    Will be leaving Seville in a week or so to try my luck on the VDLP. I say luck as I've been struggling with a knee injury for almost a year. Physio says I'm getting better so why not. Where can you get a Credencial in Seville? The Cathedral?
