If I were you……..
I would start planning my return later this year, next year, sometime soon. And as a step towards making that the best ever experience I would enrol in a Spanish course at the University of Santiago. Spend the mornings in classes and the afternoons watching the pilgrims arrive...
Can I mention News In Slow Spanish.

I've been studying Spanish for a number of years and this is the best App I've found. by a country mile.
You can choose between "Spanish (Spain)" which is Castillian and "Spanish (Latino)" which is South American.
You can...
Let me say very clearly that I have found the App enormously helpful. I love it.
Just wondered if I was missing some clever way of connecting comments with places when the writer did not give a name. Looks like I can't and that's absolutely fine with me. Now I know.
Great work!
Well, that's something I hadn't figured out! And useful to know!
But that still leaves me with unallocated comments. Just reading one now from someone who "stopped in for a pizza it was very good" but sadly they don't tell me where. The pizza place is not listed by Gronze so I can't find a...
Only recently downloaded the Wise Pilgrim app (iPhone) and it’s very, very helpful.
The one frustration I have is that the “Recent Comments” do not always include the name of the restaurant/bar/coffee stop described. Where one might say “Albergue Buenavista is wonderful” “Another might say...
Thank you all for your contributions. Enormously helpful.
I now have 3 routes planned: Camino de Madrid, Via de la Plata and the Camino Frances.
I think I will walk the Camino Frances this year as I will be walking alone and then walk the Camino de Madrid and/or the VdlP next year with my wife...
As an albergue novice I would really appreciate some advice on what to expect and how to behave when staying in an albergue. For example.......
- should I expect a communal meal? What happens when you want to eat out at a local bar or restaurant?
- is it expected or simply appreciated if you...
Can you clarify? Train from Madrid? I know I could take a look at Rome to Rio and try to figure it out but wondered if you would be so kind as to give me a steer.
David, thank you so much for taking the time to write this. It is very, very helpful and also reassuring. Clearly the CF should be on my list, or at least a part of it. I confess to having the nagging feeling that whilst it is the road most travelled it might not be the road "best" travelled...
I don't really fancy the CF after reading the posts in the forum about numbers and the lack of available accommodation. I am sure that I would be happier somewhere quieter (although I don't want to walk alone every day).
The Sanabres sounds like a good idea and if I stopped in Ourense I would...
I walked the Portugués last year (Variante Espiritual) and will walk it again this year. I have fallen in love with the Camino and I am now thinking that I could fit in another walk of 3 to 4 weeks in September or October of this year.
So where next? I would greatly value suggestions and...
