Hi Tristan, I highly recommend a casa rural in Granja de Moreruela called Casa del Tio Quico. Laundry, kitchen, interior patio and beautiful rooms. Walk out the door to your left is the Camino Sanabres. Buen Camino!
Hola a todos,
I am contemplating walking Seville to Salamanca starting on March 3, 2017. I walked from Salamanca to A Gudina in April of 2016 - snow/ice crossing the mountains to Lubian and then heavy rain caused me to not make it all the way to Santiago. All the locals said that the weather...
I walked the VdlP this past April with snow flurries leaving Salamanca. In Granja de Moreruela you can continue on the VdlP to Astorga and join the CF or take the Camino Sanabres - I took the Sanabres. Heavy rain all day from Asturianos and paths were so flooded that I had to walk along the...

If you are in Maia following the caminho is more logical to walk to Vairão and Vilarinho up to São Pedro de Rates instead of going west to Matosinhos and the coast:confused: unless you want to follow the coastal all the time northwards.
In Vairão which is 14 km from Maia is an excellent albergue...
Hi Camlinrambler, I'm spending the night of the 13th in Maia - I will take the metro on the 14th to Matosinhos. I like to start easy with very short days and may only walk as far as Lavra the first day on then on to Vila do Conde the 2nd day. How far are you guys walking the first day? Buen Camino!
Big change of plans - I will be starting a few days after you. I arrive Salamanca 3/30 and start walking 3/31. I won't catch up with you because I am a slow walker. I hope to get to Santiago on 4/20 and to Muxia 3-4 days later. Buen Camino!
I walked my first Camino in 2013 with no guide book, no maps and no elevation charts - I did get lost a couple of times, but locals and other pilgrims got me back to the yellow arrows. It was great fun not knowing exactly what to expect!
Hi gns,
I also will be starting in Salamanca, but in October. I very much would like to hear about your experience. Please post during or after your Camino or private message me. Buen Camino!
I carried my Osprey 48L backpack on American Airlines to Miami & on to Madrid last year. I had to put my sleeping bag in the main compartment of my backpack in order to meet the carry-on size limit. In addition to your carry-on, you are allowed to carry on a small personal bag. Upon arrival...
Josh, you can lose your phone, your tablet, your camera, your backpack, etc., but if you have your passport, a debit/credit card and some cash you will be OK. Buy a travel money belt to keep that super important stuff safe. Wear it under your clothing, keep it in bed with you at night and...
