    I found that guide very good in planning my Camino, it is a good predictor of what places will be overcrowded

    Itinerary for 14 day trip

    An alternate option would be the Portuguese Camino starting in Porto or Barcelos , apart from the first days walk from the outskirts of Port this route is very picturesque and arrival in Santiago within two weeks is very do-able, you may even have time to bus to Finisterre. It isn't as busy as...

    There are seven of us. Will accommodation be a prob?

    Rabanal, love that albergue have been a guest there 5 times, I particularly like the old church, no gold leaf and marble, just centuries of community and feeling. I'll be back again this summer

    Additionally the Frances route has the best accommodation option

    There are seven of us. Will accommodation be a prob?

    If your not walking late into the afternoon finding accomodation in a albergue should not be a problem, and if the albergue is full then you still have time to find a pension room. I would caution you not to try to go into an albergue as a group, arrive as individuals or pairs. I have seen...

    I have used this service, the hospitality was great, the included meals were great, and for me I was happy to walk out their front door to start my Camino there. And it was great value! Frank

    What is the one Albergue that you would say not to miss

    On the Camino Portuguese, Lugar do Corgo Casa Fernanda! After 4 complete Camino France's and 1 Camino Portuguese, this has been the BEST albergue that I have ever stayed in, Fernanda's passion for caring and assisting pilgrims is amazing as is her and her husbands cooking using mostly home grown...

    LIVE from the Camino I found a Xunta albergue with a equipted functioning kitchen

    Terry B I have read the post again that I had commented on, and I concur that I misinterpreted what was said. My view is that you are I entitled to whatever you want on the Camino, as long as you are prepared to pay full price. If you pay less than full price then you are receiving charity...

    LIVE from the Camino I found a Xunta albergue with a equipted functioning kitchen

    Is the Camino only for pilgrims with money? My understanding is that the donativo establishments will provide what they can for genuine needy pilgrims no questions asked. Some of those needy pilgrims are unemployed Spanish youths trying to find some direction/inspiration?

    LIVE from the Camino I found a Xunta albergue with a equipted functioning kitchen

    I take offence in your suggestion that the new wave pilgrims are less worthy than those who have walked in the past. There is nothing wrong with pilgrims asking questions, after all this is a forum, and different points of view should allowed to be expressed. There is nothing wrong with making...

    Shipping Stuff Ahead

    Many people have used the postal service to do this, some friends posted parcels to the Santiago post office and collected it when they arrived, I believe the post office holds it up to 30 days, i cant see any reason why other cities along the way wouldn't provide the same service? internal...
