Hello from Villafranca de Bierzo! I've just finished walking the Olvidado from Aguilar de Campoo, where I joined it from the Camino Viejo. I didn't live post as @LTfit was just a few days ahead of me and shared wonderful live posts with info on the route, accommodations etc. There was no need to...

...59€ (he is giving me 10€ euros off the normal price). Breakfast is included. Has offered to make dinner for 16€ as there's nothing else around.
*Note: earlier on the trail there is Quintana de Valdivieso. Arte & Natura are there but I couldn't get through to them via WhatsApp, phone etc. Just...
Day 0: Miranda de Ebro
I'm finally here, ready to start walking! A huge thank you to @VNwalking for the virtual thread and all who contributed ideas and experiences! And to @caminka for the detailed guide and tracks shared on the forum. I'm both excited and a bit nervous to head out tomorrow...
Hello! Living in Bilbao has meant that I've been lucky enough to do several stages of the Camino Olvidado as day/weekend trips. This past weekend a friend and I walked 2 stages - Espinosa de los Monteros - Pedrosa de Valdeporres - Arija.
Having seen photos and mentions of the Cueva Ermita San...
Hi again!
I've just finished up 2 days on the Invierno and it's been a great start to the route. Lots of folks have posted on here but I thought I'd share some of what it's been like so far, particularly in light of my other post from a few days ago about poor trail conditions in some areas...
Hi! I just wanted to make note of some cautions that are being reported on a Facebook Camino Invierno page about the condition of the trail in some areas. I know there are some on here who may be heading out soon! There's been a lot of rain in the area and here are some concerns that have been...
It's Camino time again! A friend and I both have a long weekend in Spain and wanted to do some walking. The Camino Viejo/Asturias was brought to my attention in another thread so we thought, why not start that route!
We're in Pamplona just now, at the Jesus y María Albergue. It's busy, but not...
Hi! I was wondering if I could get some perspectives from the Invierno alumni. I am planning to walk the Invierno over the Christmas break later this year (I've got a while yet but I'm getting exciting planning already!). I really appreciate @Athena Atterdag's incredibly helpful post and, after...
Hello! I started my short stint as an hospitalera in the new Albergue in Zegama yesterday and am here for a week. It is a lovely building in an even lovelier location!
There are pictures on another thread here that are professional and give you a good idea of what it looks like. I've attached a...
Hi! I don't have an idea of when I'll be able to do one of these options but want to be ready when the opportunity arises. I have lots of routes on my 'to do' list, including both the Olvidado and the Lebaniego/Vadiniense. So now I'm thinking of just doing them in one go!
This would mean...
Hi! I've just recently finished the Camino Vasco del Interior and prior to that, at Christmas, a week on the Frances. I'm feeling the low of not being on a Camino and yet also the excitement of/obsession with starting to plan the next one! I suppose many on here can relate. My experience on the...
Day 1: Irún to Hernani (27km)
Finally started the Camino Vasco! Like so many, my previous plans were postponed because of Covid and I can't quite believe it's actually happening!
I left Irún early(ish) this morning and had no problem finding the route. It's well marked and in town there are...
Greetings,
I am planning to walk the Vasco this Easter break and have been trying to find ways to walk the mountain alternative. A friend was over yesterday and she walked 3 stages on that route a few weekends ago ((1) Lasarte-Oria to Bidegoian (2) Bidegoian to Zegama (3) Zegama to Salvatierra)...
...to La Puebla de Arganzon (19km)
Day 7: La Puebla de Arganzon to Brinas (27km)
Day 8: Brinas to Haro (3.5km) (and train back home to Bilbao). *Side note: I was in Haro a few weeks ago so don't feel the need to revisit it again so soon. And I found a cheaper room in Brinas!
Any feedback on the...
Moderators note: I moved this post to a new thread as it's an important issue and the other thread was an old one.
I had a very similar experience today, a few km before reaching Los Arcos. Not the same vicinity but within a days walk. I walked around a bend in the trail and just off the path...
Hello! Ive been posting some questions/comments in other threads about a possible winter Camino and I decided to go ahead with it and had my first day walking today. I said I'd post updates so here is my first!
I should note that I live in Bilbao so for me it's quite simple to get to several of...
Hi! I'm not sure where to post this but would really appreciate any ideas from experienced Camino walkers. I am a Canadian living in Spain and, due to Covid, will probably not be flying home for Christmas this year but staying in Spain instead. I've already walked the Norte, Primitivo...
Hello!
I've done a few Caminos (Norte, Primitivo & San Salvador) and am feeling the need to do another soon :)
I live in Bilbao so am thinking the Vasco del Interior would be a great option - Irun to Haro, then take the train back to Bilbao.
My only holiday time in 2020 is during Semana...
