    Protocol: spending more than one night in an albergue

    It’s up to the Albergues and Hospitelero ie sick or injured it’s very doubtful you will be turfed out. It’s also your attitude and the hospitelero 😀 but expect to be on the streets as they ask you to leave for cleaning and return on opening usually 2pm also a lot of hotels checkins are around...

    Shortest section between Camino del Norte and Primitivo.

    I would Carry on the Norte lots to see and experience which you haven’t already! I started Le Puy de Valay then joined Norte after Roncesvalles as I’d done the French already and also the Primitivo.

    Pilgrim rubbish left at Fisterra - video

    It started with burning shoes which escalated to burning everything and setting the cliffs on fire then that was stopped and that has been replaced with this! I wonder what will be replaced when they stop this!

    Low fee ATMs. Where

    5 Euros Bank Caja was the best price I found doing the VDLP. I didn’t find one bank that didn’t add a fee for transaction I would withdrawn 200 euros cash and used my Starling or Revolut account for card transactions. Bear in mind the Vdlp was very rural and a lot of places only dealt with cash

    Is 5 days in Finisterre a bad idea?

    When you walk from Muxia to afisterre there is a little Compostela you get from a small office it’s very unique and lovely keep sake don’t remember the name.

    Vaping/electronic cigarette liquid shop in León

    In rural areas you won’t find Vape liquid or disposable I learnt the hard way. Tabac shops in larger cities will stock disposable if you need! I didn’t look for liquid so don’t know if it’s just a specialist vape store product! Stock up 😂 I didn’t

I wiggled my fingers and hummed the Twilight Zone theme tune and...

    Listening to music while on the camino

    I will be walking Vdlp starting 19th Feb with 2 sets of earbuds 1 as backup and one speaker box for solitary rural areas so I can sing and dance when the mood strikes me. I will be mindful of other Pilgrims. But if anyone hears any Paco Lucia, Estopa, Fiti y los Fitpaldies, Jarabe de Palo or...
