I'm heading out again next week.
Hooray !!
I think I need to make a blimming *third* LivefromtheCamino thread, which is pretty weird.
The [intermediary] Camino will be from Salamanca and then the Sanabrés to Santiago, then fromthere a partial reverse Camino, certainly much of the Meseta...
To help @Sydney Peregrinos along, the CR mentioned by Elena was the Casa Rural Ger in Yesta. The post mentioning it was https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/live-from-the-camino-de-catalan.86433/#post-1258935
The CR is a bit off theCamino and between La Peña Estación and Ena but...
@santhi , April/May is spring on thecamino Frances, and the time that you will see the most flowers.
As has been commented on by many in other posts the weather is impossible for us mere forum members to predict - especially nowadays. But reading this year's 'Live fromtheCamino ' threads...
I just added theLivefromtheCamino prefix to this thread... so just keep replying to this thread while you walk and we will "walk" it with you.
Buen Camino!

I arrived in Santiago yesterday aiming to get the bus today from Lavacolla to Samos. Wanted to post as a livefromtheCamino 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...
I was SO happy to hear you are posting for this Camino. I am looking to try it for the 1st time next May and am already taking in everything I can from "seasoned vets" like yourself. I am confused though, are you do the entie route of Camino Frances. Once again, please fogive me for my ignorance...
I wasn't sure I was going to post "live fromtheCamino" for this Camino. I'm happy to do so on my solo Caminos, but when I am walking with family, my focus is a little elsewhere and I am mindful of the privacy of my companion. But here goes. Just know that it won't be as detailed as the threads...
I do hope that you will post a 'Live fromtheCamino' thread about your experience on this route, @chechakoman. Last year I diverted on a round trip by bike from Burgos to Covarrubias. I can highly recommend the Pension Galin in that lovely little town, seen here at the end of the street...
"The Camino Provides" is the heading I use when posting livefromtheCamino. I have found it apt when considering the small kindnesses done by people I have met and the unexpected bits of good fortune I have experienced. I and most others I have encountered neither expect nor seek out such...
There were at least 20 mattresses in the Fronton - I’m sure they could have stayed there, but regardless, they could not stay at Ventosa. Clearly some of the in between stages are filling up.
I spent an afternoon plotting out the next week - and checking that I could get accommodations t the...
We bought a small inexpensive pot at one of the Asian stores for use in the Xunta albergues last winter (did not work at one albergue that had an induction cooktop though, it worked in the rest). We carried it on a carabiner clip on the outside of the pack.
A small 2 person paella pan was...
@Filippo05ff - I’ve included kitchen descriptions for most stages in my livefromtheCamino thread. Most are fairly well equipped (Villavieja, Xagoaza, Monforte, Rodeiro, Lalin, Silleda) until you hit the typical Xunta albergues (Diamondi, Bandeiras, Outeiro). If you have a knife and ideally a...
Livefromthecamino: I walked thecamino alternativo to La Milla del Paramo. The road up to San Martin del Camino has very low traffic. Weather was awful, heavy winds with rain. Got another 3,5km to SMdC and I would not recommend to it like that 😂 if I would have known better I would sleep...
I thought: livefromthecamino? Posted in 2022?
Then I read the last three or four posts.
The best book, indeed, the imprint of the steps, the journey, thecamino. Wise input from @VNwalking .
Actually, my guess is no guidebook is needed.
May your pilgrimage be deeply meaningful and help you...
Are there only 4 beds there or did people just not show up after they had booked? I know that has been a problem in the past couple of years as well. We stayed at Sotes, which also has a limited number of beds in a small private albergue. Najera Municipal should be opening again in a few days as...
Day 1 - To Montserrat we go ......
4 yrs since the last Camino, older, less brain cells, easily confused usually followed by a touch of frustration and sometimes panic :) . I left Coventry, UK at 6.30am and made it to Barcelona's Plaza Espanya by 2.00pm, and also managed to get my folding...
