I am on the Portugués da Costa at the moment. We started in Porto and it was a wonderful walk along the coast!
However, since we joined the Central in Redondela it is very difficult to find beds (there are 4 of us). Albergues, guest houses and hotels are not allowed to use all beds. No doubt...
I was on my second go at the Camino Mozárabe. 2019 I had to leave because of a persistent cold. 2020 I arrived in La Peza to continue. All was great for two days, but as I reached Granada I was told that everything would close the next day. For two days I had walked with Rachel from London and...
Proof of vaccination and a pcr test was required for checking in yesterday.
I was told that proof of vaccination is required to eat indoors at a restaurant. No need outdoors.
Facemasks are required everywhere, both in- and outdoors. Most people comply but some people wear it sloppy, ie not...
I have actually used one. It's a bit on the small side, so a double is good for a single bed. I place it on the mattress, then my, also treated, sleeping bag on it, so I never sleep on the sheet.
As to whether or not it works I don't know. I've never been bit though, even though my friend next...
I don't know who moved this to a different forum? This question was specific to the Camino Mozárabe. I have walked other caminos and never brought a sleeping pad, but posts and pics from the Mozárabe made me think this camino might be different.
Thanks! Some time ago I read a post that said that they had slept in churches and schools, also, judging by pictures I've seen, quite a few people on the Mozárabe seem to be carrying one so I thought I would need one. This saves me a lot of weight 🙂
I'll be starting the Mozarabe around 10 March, and have a couple of questions:
1. What is the daily average when it come s to cost? I usually spend 30 to 35 on the CF.
2. Will there be open albergues, or do I have to plan my route in detail before I leave?
3. Is camping allowed? (In case of...
In Burgos you'll find one of the best restaurants on the Camino Frances, El Morito. I've been there three times, once in the company of a chef who really loved it. And don't miss their desserts, the white chocolate soup is to die for!
It is close to the cathedral, but you'll have to ask a local...
After just returning home from walking the Camino Frances I would like to urge all bikers to get a bell for your bikes. So many times a was scared by bikers "sneaking" up from behind. I know you are not really sneaking up, it's just that we couldn't hear you coming, and when the trail is narrow...
