    Some great photos, thanks for sharing!

    Start where we are or walk the extra distance to the edge of Irún?

    There is no right or wrong answer to this. But you asked "what would you do"? The simple answer is: I'm there to walk, so I would walk. What's 3 km more when you're going to walk 800. Buen Camino!

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

    @Mrna , you may not have realised this but if you click on the blue banner Camino Inglés (from Ferrol/A Corona) that the moderators have kindly installed for you above your first post it will take you to an entire sub forum which is all about the Inglés. There's loads of great information...

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

    @Mrna , welcome to the forum. 1/ Credencial: Readily available at the Oficina Municipal de Turismo e de Atención ao Peregrino at the Port (starting point), according to Google it's open 8 until 13.00 daily. 2/ in April '23 I just carried a silk liner, but I sleep warm so each to their own...

    Alternatives to walking if injured

    That of course as usual depends on a number of factors, not the least of which being budget. It also depends on the type of person you are. Are you somebody that always needs mental stimulation or are you quite happy sitting and relaxing on a beach. Do you prefer rural, a small town, or big...

    Re: Current Lunch Prices

    I'd forgotten about this! Decades ago I had a French girlfriend and we visited her family for Christmas. After several days her mother did exactly that, (chabrot). Initially the family expressed shock, she simply pointed out that I was like family and should be treated as such. Where upon...

    @davebugg , appreciate the update and fantastic to hear that you are already feeling clearer headed. Wishing you a speedy recovery !

    LIVE from the Camino Luka on the Sanabrés

    Classic example of a cultural difference. Many European cultures are far more relaxed about nudity. Edited to add: although when you consider how multicultural the camino is it would be nice if the Albergue providers took note of other cultures preferences.

    Camino Primitivo for younger person

    That is indeed a shame because as I said I met people from eight to eighty , including a smattering of teenagers and quite a few in their 20s and early 30s. Clearly the time of year must have more influence than I would have expected. Judging by others reports on the Primitivo over recent...

    Re: Current Lunch Prices

    It will just be put to one side and served to the next client. The regulations are very, very different.

    Ourense to Santiago in 5 Sunday stages

    What a brilliant concept! It's much what I was trying to do from here at home on the Jakobsweg, however the public transport between points started to take far too long. (Ironically my monthly pass also costs €49)

    Re: Current Lunch Prices

    Cointreau with dinner? Afterwards I understand but with?

    LIVE from the Camino Jensjaunt on the Portuguese Coastal

    Wow, those SV marker's are excellent, are they all like that?

    Re: Current Lunch Prices

    Oh dear I had to start it didn't I! I thought that we were all familiar with this hence my jocular reference. It was supposed to be a pun, sorry! Yes, it's quite common and we've actually discussed this on the forum before. This custom varies a little from country to country. Bread, sometimes...

    Right quad pain, ok to push through or something to be worried about?

    As mentioned above go to the first pharmacy you come across, they know where pretty much everybody is and who they are. The pharmacists are amazing.

    LIVE from the Camino Porto/SdC/Muxia-Fisterra Apr 27-May 20

    @DenWhite , I feel for Ngaire. Having just broken my ankle whilst on the Jacobsweg (camino) over Easter I know how rough it is. If you haven't already do please seriously consider getting medical attention just in case it's actually fractured and not just badly sprained. Either way it's gonna...

    Accommodation in Presedo/Bruma

    You're welcome. I really loved the Inglès, a little more tarmac than I was expecting however the majority was on very quiet back roads. Whilst there may not be a cafe every five kilometers, there are plenty of cafes etc along the way, it's well supported with infrastructure and an excellent...

    Right quad pain, ok to push through or something to be worried about?

    Try and locate a physio or similar in the next town you come to and get some professional advice. If it's just general muscle tightness you could always try getting a massage, but if it persists I'd be looking for professional assistance

    How to decide how long to walk for

    This is such an individual thing. Some of us like @Pafayac or myself take a few days to get into the swing of things and start to gain any real benefit. Others seem to only need a day or two. The distance you walk per day will also greatly affect the length of the Camino and therefore the...

    Accommodation in Presedo/Bruma

    I can't help with Presedo however with regards to Bruma, you can book online at the private Albergue (they also have a couple of private rooms). Alternatively the hotel nearby at O Meson do Vento is very good I'm told, (both accommodation and restaurant), plus there's a pension. It's only around...
