By the way, you don't really say "soy caliente", either for temperature or state of arousal. Others have explained "Tengo calor/hace calor" perfectly, but to say that you are aroused sexually, or in more common terms, I'm horny (in the US), you say "Estoy caliente". Avoid saying that, stick to...
Everyone makes good points concerning having to get to the destination where the pack is sent, losing some of the spontaneity of having a predetermined destination, etc. but in my opinion, it is your camino, do it the way you want. It is such a personal thing that no one way of doing it is...
Story being reported in Gijon, Asturias, which again points to the main suspect that has been detained by the name of Miguel Angel M.B., in Grandas de Salime, Asturias- http://www.elcomercio.es/sociedad/sucesos/201509/11/buscan-sospechoso-desaparicion-peregrina-20150911190216.html
Way to go, chica! You are making great progress. You have about five days worth of walking unless you crank out a couple of longer days. Maybe you can get an extra day or so from your boss? Then you can make it by Friday to Santiago and have enough time to fly home on Sunday and ready for...
Hey Kat, hello from San Antonio,Texas. Just been reading your blog and looking at the pics. Asturias is gorgeous, isn't it? And the smell of cows and pasture? I love it. I agree on your assessment of the Merrell shoes. I bought a pair after trying them in the sporting goods store and they...
Hello Janka,
If you can please send me your itinerary when you can. Perhaps via a private message or if you have a link to it just post it in this thread? We are planning on going on the Primitivo as a family in June 2015. Very excited and eager for the time to arrive. From my shirt in my...
Isabelle, sorry to hear you are not feeling well. It certainly doesn't help to be away from the comfort of home while going through illness. Hopefully you can recover quickly and reassess whether you should continue or not. If you do continue I hope the weather is mild and sunny for your...
By the way Isabelle, it looks like you stayed at Albergue Bodenaya? Alex posts pics of the peregrinos everyday on Facebook and in one of them there is a peregrina that looks like you. Was it a good experience? I'm hoping that next summer when we go in June 2015 he is still open but he posted...
Do you think that the time of year has something to do with it? July and August are big vacation months in Spain. We are going in early June next year before the kids get out of school so maybe we'll miss some of the noisier kids and adults? Hope so. Can't function very well without sleep.
I had read that this is a good albergue to skip as it is notoriously dirty and unkempt. You have just confirmed my suspicions. Would it be better to stay at Berducedo and the next day have a longer walk to Grandas de Salime? Or does Buspol have any accommodations? Thx n buen camino, peregrina.
As others have mentioned the weather in Asturias is never quite hot. I think Angulero mentioned that 20-25 Celsius is about the hottest you'll find and I agree. Night time can be a little cool and Asturias has a tendency to have quick weather changes. This means that sunny days are not...
Liz, thanks for the guide. It is very helpful to have all the info gathered in one spot. My wife, son, and myself will be going in June of 2015 as well. We plan to leave the US on June 11, 2015 and start walking on either Saturday or Sunday (13th and 14th respectively). I too have been...
It would be interesting to know where they started from, maybe as a group or individually, and if there where any albergues along the way. It could not have been easy as the world, and especially Europe was still recovering from WW2. When we moved to Gijón, Asturias in 1969 from Chicago...
Thx for the information Robin. If I lived on your side of the world a ferry or train to Santander would be my first choice. Coming from Texas and with the crazy fees that the airlines charge to transport your bike I think renting will be a tad cheaper and much less hassle.
Also, I had...
Thanks for the information. It looks like Bikeiberia makes it pretty easy to rent the three bikes that I am working on getting. I like the idea of getting some extra clothes and things being sent ahead to SDC by them as well. That way we can have some clean stuff to travel in as the cycling...
