    Likelyhood of finding beds in Presedo?

    When I walked, I stayed in Betanzos two nights, taxiing from and to a restaurant called Casa Julia. I believe the trail has been re-routed since then (2017) and no longer passes by Casa Julia. But you could try something like that: pick a mid-way point between Betanzos and Bruma, walk to that...

    Camino Ingles in May

    From what pilgrims report as they come into Santiago, the Inglés is getting busier now, even in April, and by May it should have more walkers. So you won't be too isolated or alone. I walked the Inglés solo in July 2017. It was quieter back then, but there were still pilgrims around, as well...

    Kdrama Camino Sighting!

    As many of us know, over the last years the Camino has risen in popularity for South Koreans. I didn't know it had made it into their dramas, though! I was watching the Korean drama (Kdrama) Encounter last night, and spotted a map of the Camino. The characters never referenced the Camino during...

    Bar etiquette

    It's that I've offended enough servers while living in Galicia and now I know how to be a docile customer who can get with their system. :D One caveat is that I haven't been on the Camino in a few years - and certainly not in the busiest, craziest parts of the trail. It may well be a very...

    Finishing my Camino and feeling incomplete.

    Sorry to have missed you, @cbeckham! Congratulations on finishing and yes, it's totally normal to feel a bit "lost" and disoriented once you've arrived in Santiago, especially when you have to turn around pretty quickly and head home. Hopefully you can make it back to the Camino soon! Just a...

    Maybe a rude question! How old are you?

    Never seen that video. So funny! 😁 And clean.

    Maybe a rude question! How old are you?

    Young people tend to catch me off guard these days. First of all, both our 23-year-old teammate and our teenage son laughed hysterically when they saw this video: (Seriously - what?! And why does this video have 13 million views?) And about 10 years ago, we hosted a bunch of college students...

    Maybe a rude question! How old are you?

    I'm one of the younger folks on the Forum, and I have so enjoyed being here over the last 13(!) years. I think the older you get, the more you learn what to take dead seriously and what to have a little fun with. You all teach me many things about handling things on the Camino and in life, and...

    Bar Etiquette

    Great question @montyhiker. In Galicia, I usually sit down and wait for a server to come take my order. At times I've gone to the bar and ordered something, but I honestly can't remember the last time I took my own plates/cups to a table - usually the bartender would take the order at the bar...

    Having a Camino Birthday

    Happy Birthday! If you haven't seen the movie Ocho Apellidos Vascos yet, I totally recommend it. This romcom was the highest-grossing Spanish movie ever when it was released a few years ago, and it's hilarious. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Affair_(2014_film) I believe you can still...

    Day trips from Santiago?

    A couple of other beautiful places to visit on the west coast of Galicia: The old Celtic ruins Castro de Baroña (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castro_de_Baroña) and nearby town Porto do Son. You may need a rental car for this one, though. Isla de Arousa, which is a walk across the bridge from...

    Hey everyone, Just a note that Pilgrim House will close for 2023 this Sunday, December 3, and be closed until March of 2024. Usually we have a Christmas Eve party and then we close up for the year, but this year it's a bit earlier than usual due to staffing schedules. It has been a wonderful...
