Hi All,
I have booked a walking week away from home arriving in Porto on 9th May at 19.10 (all being well).
My initial intention was travel to Vigo by train and walk to Santiago, returning to Porto for a return flight on 17th May.
This time fits the route stages.
However the train to Vigo...
Hi,
All of the presented information is very helpful, thank you to all who posted.
I would be grateful if a forum member could explain what happens if the PCR (or lateral flow) test proves positive.
Self isolation? Where/How?
thanks,

Hi,
I am starting in Junta de los Caminos (taking bus 21 from Malaga) on 10th March.
Does anyone know if there is a bag transport option on this route?
thanks,
Arthur Loughran
Hi,
I am planning to walk Almeria to Granada starting on 3rd May, finishing around 11th/12th May. Do list members think that it will be too hot at that time?
thanks,
Arthur Loughran
PS Many thanks to Kevin O'Brien for his guide. Valuable work.
HI Alan,
Thanks for you very informative postings.
I am planning to walk this route late March/early April 2017. Is your "goat track" description typical of this route or is this a one off?
regards,

Hi,
I am trying to find a Spanish charity to which I can apply as a volunteer ESOL teacher. Thus far I have been unsuccessful in my efforts.
I would be grateful if list members, familiar with Spanish charity organisations, could recommend how to proceed with my searches.
many thanks,
Arthur...
Hi,
I will be cycling to Merida (starting 16th Feb from Seville). I have walked the route before (in April 2012) and managed to cross over the arroyo via a makeshift collection of logs and branches some kind person(s) had constructed on the right hand side through some trees. However I have...
Hi Donna,
I would be grateful for your advice on the cycle route you took between Sevilla and Merida, ie did you stick to the walkers route (which I know from walking in 2013) or are there sections in which you took alternative, more bike friendly, routes.
thanks,
Arthur Loughran
Hi,
And very grateful for your work.
I have a few days holiday coming (14th to 25th February) and I am taking myself to Sevilla (via Malaga) on 14th February.
I have walked the VdP from Sevilla to Salamanca (2013) but that was during April/May when the weather was very favourable.
However I...
Hi,
Depending on how fit they are I would recommend starting in Leon.
The other alternatives are Astorga or Ponferrada.
Attached is a 13 day itinerary for your consideration.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your feedback.
I presume that by now you have well and truly completed your Camino. Congratulations, I hope you enjoyed most of it if not all.
You will be ruminating on your journey, gather all your stories into a nice happy memory bundle, memories that are destined to...
Hi,
Glad it worked for you.
I also signed up but something has gone awry with my registration. Can receive and send emails to the group but cannot access the group resources.
I will now not be going on the Camino this year, waiting until April/May 2016.
I found a very reasonable bile hire shop...

Good luck with the trip.
