    Detour to Cambados on the EV

    If you're starting in Vigo and walking to Santiago, it's counted as 100km, so you'll be fine. Any additional kilometres you walk on the EV aren't counted... your distance certificate, if you want one, will say 100km.

    Confused over date format

    ...just check your booking by emailing or phonimg them, instead of asking the internet. Then, no more doubt.

    LIVE from the Camino Starting in Bilbao - a six week Camino

    It seems quite busy, at least around me and I'm 3two days out of Bilbao.. and supply is much more limited than you would find on the Frances or Portugués. Are you already walking? Pobeña has a lovely municipal (donativo) albergue, about 24km or 30km from Bilbao, depending on the route you walk..

    Re: Current Lunch Prices

    Four or five days of lunches from Sarria to Santiago will be a tiny fraction of the cost of your airline flights across the Atlantic and back. The menu del dia is generally better quality, and a little more expensive than the typical menu del peregrino. Wine is included with both.

    LIVE from the Camino Starting in Bilbao - a six week Camino

    Nice videos, and thank you for posting! This is the short section just after Pobeña as you approach the old mines? Just to point out.. the path is still closed because ongoing buttressing/underpinning work is continuing. The gates are locked and the corner of the fence that was forced open...

    Camino Aragonês notes and observations April '24

    Thank you! I don't know about adventurous, I'm familiar with the path already, at least the Spanish side of it. I'm glad you enjoyed it too!

    LIVE from the Camino They are recommending the Valcarlos route tomorrow, how foolish would it be to go Napoleon?

    A bit of a dusting.. looks similar to what we had up at Somport last week, was short lived.

    LIVE from the Camino They are recommending the Valcarlos route tomorrow, how foolish would it be to go Napoleon?

    Ich nichten lichten, as I thought to myself, donning my poncho leaving the German Association run albergue in Pamplona a couple of hours ago..😅 Which, by the way.. and on a completely different note, and might afford some solace to those anxious pilgrims setting out from Zubiri this morning...

    LIVE from the Camino They are recommending the Valcarlos route tomorrow, how foolish would it be to go Napoleon?

    Many folk who ask a question, have no interest in the answer if it's not the one they want.. there's really not much can be done about that.

    San Anton albergue (Castrojeriz) closes till further notice

    I remember noticing some substantial structural layout changes were made between my stays in 2016 and 2023, I don't know or remember exactly... some demolition, the layout of part of the perimeter walls, the relocation of the entrance etc? I wonder if any of it contributed to the overall...

    Contact information for Casa da Fernanda

    I think Albertinho/Camembert has gone off the map since a while ago. It might be easier if you just call Fernanda yourself, her number: +351914589521

    Camino Aragonês notes and observations April '24

    I wrote this long-winded post to address some of the recent concerns, comments and questions regarding this route, and I hope some might find it useful. I flew from Dublin to Lourdes on the 18th of April, took the train to Pau and started walking from there. A few days on the Camino Arles...

    Alert Theft at Roncesvalles

    TBH, it sounds like the work of professionals. Stealing cash, but leaving wallets or purses otherwise undisturbed, affords the thief or thieves more time to get away before the crime is discovered. It's what separates professionals thieves from amateurs. We can all do our bit, by being aware...

    LIVE from the Camino Current conditions on the Frances

    The volunteers at the busy pilgrim's office in SJPDP are primarily concerned with the welfare of the pilgrims. As has been pointed out in some recent threads, you can and should do your bit by checking the forecast all by yourself and making sure that if you are walking, you have appropriate...

    Three rescues on the Route Napoleon yesterday

    We have been stereotyped by a particular country for 800 years.. Get over it.
