Hello people. It was us who made the trail/track from Albergue Ponte Ferreira to Sobrado. (We had the albergue from 2018 till 2023). The track works quite well, but it is a quite lonely trail, and the first 21 km you don't have any facilities. You pass a few tiny villages (or groups of houses)...
Hola! I am in O Barco right now after my 2nd invierno day. Walked up from Santiago to Ponferrada on the Frances - meeting loads of pilgrims in the opposite direction :-). So i am making kind of a weird circle. I checked the forum before arriving in Ponferrada & found the dogposts that i hadn't...
[A question to the other vegetarians, maybe someone knows: If you make it to Finisterre, close to the beach is a place that is a bit hippie-like, I forgot the name. Inside they had a sign that they prepare fresh veggie dishes if you ask, ate a delicious sandwich with freshly roasted vegetables...
Since five years a walked quite some camino's, and two years ago I became vegan. Quite a change on the camino, but I do not think it's particulary hard in Spain to find vegan food (I mean in Amsterdam i have to make efforts too). For breakfast: tostadas con aceite y tomatos (toast with olive oil...
Hello Donna,
Don't know if it is still the same, but when i ws there it was Jon Gabarek with a choir. I bought it back home & still listen to it every now and then . Very beautiful. Can't give you the exact details, but you'll probably find it googling.

Hola,
Jacques molay in terradillos is open, the other big one is closed. For the rest we passed closed albergues in lediegos en san nicholas. At the moment at Calzadilla de los hermanillos in this amazing municipal albergue.
@Rebecca: i think we passed you today when you were walking dogs with...
barcelona or madrid. quite far away, but from both cities you can take a train to pamplona that will take you there in less than 4 hours. there are buses too (cheaper, but these take a bit longer)

Hi Laurie,
Lee already gave you the practical details of the meeting.
The meeting I went to is mainly a meeting for local people who are interested in walking the camino. When I was there it was really busy; most of the people attending were planning to walk the Frances, from Sarria or a bit...
Hello Alan and others,
We - my husband and me - walked the Camino de Madrid last September, and I can't give you any information about the albergue in Manzanares, because we didn't look for it & stayed in the Hotel Parque Real, which was not really cheap, but quite nice and in the centre with a...
Hi Laurie,
There is also a new private albergue now in As Seixas. I wasn't there - because this time I took the Friol option, but my husband was there last week. They serve food as well. Can't imagine i will be as idyllic and comfy as Ponte Ferreira though :-) (I stayed there in 2011, when also...
Hi Laurie,
The book is good, although distances are not always accurate in kms. And there is also some inaccurate info on albergues (i will find out for you later which ones these were). And there is one stage where the yellow arrows end in front of new highway that is not on the maps :-), which...
Hi Laurie,
For me the little red cross building was okay; it is kind of basic and it could be kept a bit cleaner, but i've seen worse... As I remember you first have to go to the police station to get the key. What guide book do you have?
