    I hope you enjoyed your visit inside the church. I would have been even happier if I had seen the interior!

    LIVE from the Camino @sharonmonty on the Camino Francés

    I left Portomarin yesterday morning with vague thoughts about going to Vilar de Donas but conscious I had a long day already. This was the long walk I had worried about a bit. I took the short detour to Castro major which was well worth it. I left at 7 but found the early part of the walk a...

    LIVE from the Camino @sharonmonty on the Camino Francés

    Whilst in Samos I met a few pilgrims who had started in SJDPP who all said it had rained almost every day and they had trouble finding beds. Yesterday morning I left about 8 to find a heavy drizzle that soon turned to rain and I needed my poncho. I wanted to take the turn to avoid the road to...

    "It's not about the gear" camino article from an irish jesuit blog

    A good read! I like the 80/20 principle but have never applied it to the Camino!

    Cancelling Camino - Soliciting Advice

    So good to hear this. Would be interested in more details in how you got on. Did you end up doing 20km + each day?

    LIVE from the Camino @sharonmonty on the Camino Francés

    I got the bus from Lavacolla this morning having made sure I was on the right side of the road to get to Samos and not Santiago! At the by stop I met 3 other peregrinas one from Holland and 2 from London ( although they were in fact from Spain and Costa Rica!). A lovely way to start the day...

    LIVE from the Camino @sharonmonty on the Camino Francés

    I arrived in Santiago yesterday aiming to get the bus today from Lavacolla to Samos. Wanted to post as a live from the Camino but couldn’t work out how to do it! I walked Valenca to SDC with 2 friends 2 years again and it’s so great to be back. Lots of memories came flooding back on my walk from...

    Bus to Samos

    Thanks for asking! After having a bit of a think I booked the bus online! Managed easily and have ticket on my phone. Am taking a print too whilst trying not to pack my fears! In 24 hours I will be at the airport. I’m very excited.

    Bus to Samos

    I’m going to be getting the Monbus from Lavacolla just outside Santiago airport to Samos on Tuesday Is it worth booking online or ok to pay cash on the bus? Any thoughts would be welcome. Pay on the day seems easier!

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

    Thanks for sharing all of this. Your photos brought back lovely memories of my Camino from Valenca 2 years ago. I hope Ngaire is recovered very soon

    Pork in Spain

    At home in the UK I buy good quality Norfolk bred pork from a local butcher. I cook my pork for much less time than my mother would have done. Yes it is slightly pink and delicious! Spain is famous for lovely local pork

    Starting point - Vigo or Tui

    I’ve only walked from Valenca/Tui but can recommend it. Lovely walk across the bridge and both interesting towns. Enjoyed the whole route. I thought it was scenic and the towns were all worth a visit.

    Where to add a signature?

    It does! The app says you are logged in but won’t let you reply unless you log out and in again. If I go through the website it remembers me!

    A New Way To Walk The Camino

    I was thinking it would be a much better use of the technology if it assisted those with mobility issues

    Booking.com problems

    Perhaps someone has tried to hack your account to get at your payment details. That might result in everything being locked. Hopefully you can access your confirmation emails and good you had printed too.

    Cancelling Camino - Soliciting Advice

    Based on what others have said on this forum about beds there will be availability and that should not be your worry. I walked from Valenca to Tui 2 years ago doing about 15-18km a day. It was a lovely route. Took about 6 days. You could start earlier as Trecile said or carry on after Santiago...
