    Pilgrim House Meet & Eat for pilgrims finishing the Camino!

    It would be great to finally meet you. Hopefully we can meet in Pilgrim House or just for coffee (we can ask Ivar to treat us), and if you can stay in Galicia all the way until Christmas, at least you could come to the Christmas Eve party! :D

    Pilgrim House Meet & Eat for pilgrims finishing the Camino!

    Usually a couple of times a year! This is our first for 2024. We're not yet sure when our next will be - perhaps in the fall. We'll also have a Christmas Eve party, which is more come-and-go, without any space limitations.

    Pilgrim House Meet & Eat for pilgrims finishing the Camino!

    To anyone who just finished the Camino these past few days, or who will be finishing the Camino today or tomorrow: If you'll have finished the Camino by tomorrow night and if you'll be in Santiago, you're invited to an evening of food, community, and a Camino debriefing/ discussion. Space is...

    Calendar of Holidays in Spain?

    Speaking of which - tomorrow is a holiday in Galicia: May 17 is Galician Literature day. Grocery stores will/may be closed, so if you're in Galicia right now you may want to go shopping before things close! Cafes and restaurants should still be open.

    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.

    Accommodation in Presedo/Bruma

    In 2017 I stayed in Betanzos for two nights at Hotel Garelos. The route has changed now, but from Betanzos I walked to Casa Julia and ate lunch, then got a taxi back to Betanzos. The next morning, the same taxi came and picked me up and brought me back to Casa Julia, where I kept walking to...

    Need to buy new shoes in SdC

    Also, Piteira on Rua das Orfas (in old town Santiago). They have nice brands and may be pricier because of this. But customer service is historically good and they take their time with customers. https://www.piteira.es/ And if you need even more selection, the El Corte Inglés department store...

    Conditions on Ingles this week and next (May 2024)

    Buen Camino @nickyvee ! Just a note that May 17 is the Letras Galegas holiday, the festivo that celebrates Galician authors and poets. Since your Camino will take place all in Galicia, grocery stores are likely to be closed, but cafes and restaurants should be open for the most part.

    Is Uber used in Portugal and Spain?

    There's also BlaBla Car in this part of Spain (Galicia). I'm not sure if it's available in Portugal, though.

    Likelyhood of finding beds in Presedo?

    When I walked, I stayed in Betanzos two nights, taxiing from and to a restaurant called Casa Julia. I believe the trail has been re-routed since then (2017) and no longer passes by Casa Julia. But you could try something like that: pick a mid-way point between Betanzos and Bruma, walk to that...

    Camino Ingles in May

    From what pilgrims report as they come into Santiago, the Inglés is getting busier now, even in April, and by May it should have more walkers. So you won't be too isolated or alone. I walked the Inglés solo in July 2017. It was quieter back then, but there were still pilgrims around, as well...

    Kdrama Camino Sighting!

    As many of us know, over the last years the Camino has risen in popularity for South Koreans. I didn't know it had made it into their dramas, though! I was watching the Korean drama (Kdrama) Encounter last night, and spotted a map of the Camino. The characters never referenced the Camino during...

    Bar etiquette

    It's that I've offended enough servers while living in Galicia and now I know how to be a docile customer who can get with their system. :D One caveat is that I haven't been on the Camino in a few years - and certainly not in the busiest, craziest parts of the trail. It may well be a very...
