Thanks, I just signed it and sent a link to a whole lot of friends to ask them to sign it.
It's important, at the moment I'm living in Spain and I know just much the bureaucracy here can stifle many important and good things from happening, just because of the sheer enormous amount of effort...
Hello, I need to get some reliable internet so I can speak to family at home regularly and bits of work.
Is it possible to get portable wifi in Spain? Where from? What's it called? In England they call it a dongle (I think). Something that I can connect my phone to easily. Many thanks for an...
Hello, any ideas please on a camino I could do short notice during December, possibly starting over the next few days?
I'm really keen for somewhere relatively warm (or at least - sunny) and not too expensive - so would need albergues mostly. I can fly into anywhere quite easily from London...
Hello, there's a headline which says:
Newest Questions/Threads (Click the blue "New Posts" button above for more)
But truly, I can't see any button which says that.
When I go into forum threads things don't seem to come up newest first, rather a mixture of old and new threads.
I'm not sure...
HI there, sorry I just saw your message, thanks. No unfortunately you're the only one who replied. I must say I get so confused with all the many many threads under different caminos that I'm not sure which ones to reply to so that people see them. Maybe I'll start a new thread and see if I get...
Hi, does anyone know where I could get an updated albergue list for the Mozarabe from Malaga please? I'm thinking of going there next week to walk, if anyone has an thoughts on it please? Gronze doesn't seem to have any information, and nor does the wonderful Wisepilgrim, so any information...
Thanks very much Peregrina, so helpful. I'm torn between returning to the Via or heading accross to one of the northern. I always make up my mind last minute! May I ask you please, why is the Olvidado your first choice? Would there be enough albergues open at the moment? Do you like the...
Thanks very much, I had completely forgotten about that wonderful website which I've used in the past. Are the albergues listed there open now, or is this pre-covid, many thanks.
Thanks for all the ideas everyone.
I've just found out that Monte de Gozo has 24 hour reception, I'm guessing that will be even quicker and cheaper to get to by taxi late at night.
Has anyone walked that section after dark? Is it doable? I have very little money to splash around, so would...
Hello, I'm wondering if there is a list of accommodation for the VdlP, like the pdf for the French camino? I'm starting on Wednesday the 15th of June, and don't have my guide book with me, so any advice would be helpful.
Also, I'd be going from Salamanca to Santiago, is that recommended at this...
Hello, my plane doesn't arrive into Santiago till 22:30 on Tuesday.
Can anyone recommend an albergue or place to say that has late check-in?
I'm on a budget, so would prefer an albergue but willing to pay a little more if necessary.
Any ideas would be great, thanks.

Hi Ronald, if you've been there before I'd say walk straight through. Or stay at an albergue close to Santiago and walk through very early in the morning if you want to see the cathedral etc.
I'm sorry to hear it's so difficult there. I've only queued up for two compostelas, my first camino and another time with a friend when it was very quiet. The compostela is nice to have, but the misery and loss of peace involved in getting it meant I decided it wasn't worth it for the other times.
