Walk with us from the Sagamore Bridge to Provincetown, 100km, in 2020! Many volunteers are needed to make this 5 day route happen. Walk all or some with a special Cape Cod credencial and authentic camino experiences. Email boston at americanpilgrims dot org and put Cape Cod Camino in the subject.
Hello from San Pedro de Rates, for many the first "real" night out of Porto. I'm in my second week as hospitalera with Diane from Houston. It's very soggy, and expected to be all week. Last night we had 6 guests, tonight 4. Last week we averaged 30 a night. When you walk absolutely affects your...
Happy New Year, un muy feliz año nuevo, to all! This one will be different, I have 3 weeks and will start in Muxia in August. That's the best way to be sure I actually get there!

Santiago today! I will be my niece's Confirmation sponsor in two weeks and want to find a special gift for her. She has a strong ability in Spanish language. Suggestions for gifts and specific shops? Gracias. @ivar ?
¡hola! We are in San Romao today at the municipal. Just us! Yesterday was beautiful, sunny and warmer than I expected. It rained hard last night and drizzle all day, leaving some major mud and running water on the trail that can't be avoided.
In Lugo a wonderful female guide gave us un...

Bon chemin!
From the April 2016 Conde Nast Traveller. The Ribadeo public albergue is great, but only 10 beds. Sleep in a fancy corn crib! The article says hostels and hotels are "mediocre at best." Hmm. Not for the pilgrim crowd. App is Walk and Horrero.
Hi All, I just caused myself to panic because I forgot which bus line schedule to look at. We are flying Boston-Madrid-A Coruna, then taking the Arriva, not Alsa, bus to Lugo to begin. The Arriva bus takes about an hour and costs 11 euro. The Alsa bus goes to Oviedo, then back to Lugo, in 6.5...
Hi Folks, Just a heads up to be sure your airline's emails aren't going in the spam folder. I am going back for a not-quite-usual route in April and am flying from Boston to A Coruna, walking Lugo to SdC, and flying back from Sdc to Boston. Every time Iberia makes a change I have to coordinate...
Albergue Villa Ceceila: We didn't stay because I trusted my gut, maybe others have had a good experience. Concrete concern is that it is a fire trap, with beds jammed into windowless basement rooms and you'd have to cross through the kitchen to get out. Hopefully the fire isn't in the kitchen...
The marvelous audiotour of the cathedral, museum and treasures is only 4 euros for pilgrims. The pilgrim cemetery deserves a visit. I was well-treated at Clinica Asturius today, back up to the norte soon.
Heading westward on the norte
Looks like it has been for a while, but leaving the beach you have to go up and over to get to the promenade. You can ignore the arrows at the first row of apartment blocks, go left onto the street, follow signs to town center and rejoin the camino on the promenade without wandering on the sand...
