    Camino Portugués in September

    We cycled the Senda Litoral last year. Because we also needed secure bike storage, we booked all accommodations ahead. It was busy, but not overwhelming. The weather was really good, except for one significant rain shower from Vila do Conde into Povoa de Varzim.....some cloudy days, some...

    Bus from A Coruña to Ferrol?

    I'll be flying into A Coruña this Monday along with my mother and husband, and I haven't quite figured out how to catch the bus from A Coruña to Ferrol. From what I gather, one must take a bus from the airport, into the town, correct? Should I purchase bus tickets ahead of time, or is it easy to...

    Too Many Qs! Credencial/sleeping bag/training/albergues

    Of course you have multitudes of Spanish speakers wherever you go. When you have more time to walk you should think about walking a less traveled Camino like the Aragonés, Vasco or VDLP as examples. I have walked all three (of course there are others) where I could count on 1 hand the number of...

    Return from Muxia to Santiago

    We were there last year in the fall, when things were quite busy. No problem booking bus tickets once the schedule comes out, a few weeks ahead. You should be fine, but always good to have a backup

    Accommodation in Presedo/Bruma

    Haha, that probably was me, as I remember posting about it recently. :) Taxiing ahead is a great idea, too! Buen Camino.

    Camino Frances in September - experiences

    We did it in September 2017 and were told then that September was the busiest month. Just past Leon they were advising us to book accommodation ahead, so we did. It didn’t seem that busy to us until after Sarria when tours with groups became evident and it seemed more commercial. Some days we...

    Accommodation in Presedo/Bruma

    Thanks for the reply Nate, I read somewhere here today exactly the same thing, it may have been you replying to a different thread. Anyway I have already checked that hotel and they didn't have room on the dates I needed. I've already booked somewhere in Bruma now so we';; walk to Presedo (or...

    Too Many Qs! Credencial/sleeping bag/training/albergues

    Hello! Excited first time pilgrim here, flying into A Coruña and starting in Ferrol end of May. I have a lot of questions, so any thoughts from recent experiences are welcome! - Not sure my credencial is going to arrive via mail in time. How easy is it to show up and get one from the Oficina...

    Another Boring Kit Thread

    Assuming PJ bottoms? I leave right after you on the 11th, but we will likely not meet. I think though you were the Scot on Reddit I have to thank for reminding me of San Fermin. As a result I have made plans appropriately and booked a hotel weeks ago for when I get to Pamplona on the 14th...

    Thank you. I really appreciate your taking the time to reply with such a detailed response. Thank you also for the suggested daily itinerary. I'm feeling more confident that we can put together our own trip/schedule. Craig

    Maybe a little late with my planning for le Puy...

    Jarrad said: "Not sure if this is in keeping with the information Mr. Walden was looking for, but I would be interested in hearing how an early spring start on the Le Puy worked out for you, especially in regards to the weather. I realize that the number of pilgrims in 2013 might be different...

    Reservation in SJPP

    I do hope you shall find a place. In my opinion, booking beds ahead is killing the Camino. It's a tourists jaunt now. People staring at their phone apps simply to book the next evening. No adventure, no surprises. Taking on the unknown can be very rewarding. A selfish atitude is descending upon...

    Yes - WhatsApp the restaurant at least a day ahead. I think they are closed on Tuesdays

    Maybe a little late with my planning for le Puy...

    Hi @Walden I have been thinking about Via Podiensis for a while but only decided and bought flight to Paris 6 weeks before I leave on 25 May. So, a very short notice Camino. This is what I found - but I don't know what things will be like in July and beyond. How to get there - I arrive in...

    Maybe a little late with my planning for le Puy...

    I stayed at YHA in Le Puy. Didn't prebook. I bought the credential at the book shop at the cathedral with the Miam dodo book. I caught the train and bus from Lyon to Le Puy. Didn't prebook. I booked one day ahead either at the tourist office in town where they spoke english or by asking the...

    Feeling alone and anxious

    ...overcome big things before - and to practice love and faith in my Higher Power, God, Camino spirit (whatever name you like). And breath. And breath. ♥️♥️♥️ PS. You have already had some excellent advice and it’s good to read that you can still walk the Francés without booking ahead all the time.

    Day 2: La Robla to Poladura, 23.0km, 617m elevation gain I started at 8am to beautiful blue skies. The first 14km to Buiza were quiet and pleasant. I stopped in La Pola de Gordón at the El Meson de Miguel corner bar for 2 cafe con leches with 2 accompanying tapas of tortilla. After Buiza, the...

    Alternatives to Sarria to SDC

    I walked in the fall of 2022. I found the walking over the last stretch very pleasant. Avoid the guide book stage towns. The only major stage town I stayed in over the last 100+ km was Portomarin (And I had planned to skip that town too. But the albergue in Vilachá, where I wanted to stay...
