    Spiritual Variant- Armenteira

    Peregrinos, Has anyone had luck RECENTLY getting a bed at the monestery in Armenteira? If so, was there a line, how many pilgrims got beds, etc? Also curious at Municipal Albergue in Arousa. Has that been filling up?

    Holed Up With a Nasty Cold

    Good for you for being considerate of your fellow pilgrims by staying in private accommodations. You might try sitting in the town square with a cafe con leche or vino tinto to watch the locals or listening to a book on tape. Buen Camino

    Trail runners vs road runner shoes

    Trail runners 100%. The Camino is very rocky/pointy/bumpy and you will be glad to have a rock plate in the shoe, which trail runners have, to protect your feet.

    Is the Ingles Social or Solitary?

    Good point about Bruma. I’d make a reservation at the very nice private albergue to avoid disappointment. Quite a few upset pilgrims were turned away the day I was there.

    Is the Ingles Social or Solitary?

    I walked late August last year and was able to make friends pretty quickly. Tended to see the same people along the way and at the albergues.

    Difficulty comparison: Camino del Norte vs. Camino Frances from St. Jean Pied de Port

    Started early June. Medium fit, early 60s. Lots of mud, slippery descents, especially the first week. Quite a few tough spots for me. I thought about quitting numerous times but glad I persevered.

    Neda or Pontdeume?

    I walked this route a few weeks ago. In order to make it in five days and make the stages reasonable for me I cut off the 4-5 KM by crossing the pedestrian/bike path by the train bridge just before the monestery. I heard from several people that the first stage to Neda was “too short “. I was...

    Some thoughts about our Camino Inglés

    Just be aware that it is quite a hilly route and train for that. Another route to consider would be the Portuguese central to do with your 80 year old friend.

    How do you carry the important stuff?
