    Security Warning On Via de Plata

    FWIW I have removed the warning from the app in today’s update. I had left it in out of caution but the comments here lead me to believe it is not necessary. Thanks all!

    Albergue Tu Camino, Ontón: permanently closed

    Ahhhhhhhhhh. The Norte has been quite the challenge this year. FWIW I called and was informed that the Albergue is permanently closed.

    Wise Pilgrim app right variant after Samos not accurate

    It does, as I was trying to confirm this with @Purple Backpack. I downloaded the Buen Camino app to compare but it shows the same route that I show. In any event I will have an update published on Monday. Thanks for the help!

    Albergue In Muros De Nalon

    So I have the scoop. Rafael has rented the albergue to Michael from Germany. It reopened on the 1st of June and closes the 11th of October this year. 18€. Everything else remains the same, including a donativo group dinner.

    Albergue In Muros De Nalon

    Very interesting. I wonder if Rafael sold it or is letting it out to Michael. In either case I will get in touch with them and update the app!

    Casa Beatnik

    We stayed in the yurts last summer, and while the surrounding gardens, restaurant, and price point was well above the usual pilgrim fare it was well worth the splurge.

    A call for regulation or permit on the Francés

    Why not do away with the Compostela entirely? Surely that would have an effect on the number of pilgrims focusing only on the last 100km.

    What to skip either side of Vigo?

    The way into and out of Vigo is not as complicated as many portray it to be. It is true that the arrow situation inside the city is not ideal, but neither is it anything to be afraid of. Into the city is lively along the coast if you choose that route from Nigran.

    Casa Fernanda

    FWIW I was at Casa Fernanda yesterday and confirm that she does NOT use WhatsApp. But she does keep her not smart phone with her at all times, and speaks English enthusiastically.

    Is 5 days in Finisterre a bad idea?

    Once upon a time the stages to Finisterre were 3 days, and you can still do that with relative ease. As for whether 5 days is too many, I would say so only if you need the stimulation of having something new to do every day. Otherwise it could be a calm way to end your journey.

    Meteor over Portugal

    Last night the skies over the Camino Portugués lit up in the most incredible way. It was a mystery to me until I saw the headlines this morning that a meteor had flown overhead. Did anybody else catch it?

    Hello all! Problem with Wise Pilgrim app.

    No, but it does mean the @Wanieta nearly lost his mind.

    Surfing the Camino

    Now feels like an opportune time to remind everyone that the crowds on the Caminos travel in great big waves. For every panicked pilgrim riding the crest and worrying about beds, there is another down in the trough wondering what all the huff is about. They start in certain places, at certain...

    Hello all! Problem with Wise Pilgrim app.

    For anyone come here with the same problem, the route is divided into three sections. Burgos is the end of the first section (body) and the start of the second (mind).

    Arriving in Villafranca del Bierzo today

    I just had a conversation with the owner of the Albergue up in Pradela. We got to talking about the arrows that have gone missing at the start of that route, they keep letting painted over. On top of that there is a local retired woman that lingers about warning of the dangers of wolves on the...

    Definition of a Pilgrim 🤣

    I repeat often that very little has changed along the camino since it first took root. When threads like this come up it is fun to imagine what the ultralight pilgrims of year 1 would have been like. What luxuries would a thick wallet bring you.
