    Apps /gps - trail maps/ questions

    Thanks @C clearly My comment about downloading was referring to the additional steps one has to do with some apps/ eg maps me. Wikiloc I guess. Do you know whether you have to download different map files for different apps ?? Ie is it necessary to download a number of times? Eg maps...

    Using Wikiloc

    Ditto here. Elaine is a real gem though. There seems to be sufficient detail for even me …. but we will see. I’m going to give it another try and maybe find a YouTube instruction too (for beginners). At 75 my concentration level is low. 😉 🤣

    Apps /gps - trail maps/ questions

    I have often wondered just how many apps other pilgrims have loaded on their phones for assisting them while walking any camino in Spain, Portugal, France, Italy etc . I do think that having an app with gps is good insurance / (on the more less travelled routes especially). Apart from the gps...

    Suitable app?

    Good luck with planning next year @lt56ny Re a simple app: I agree with you … find one that you are comfortable with. Everyone raves about the one they use 😉 But about 10 minutes before reading your post / I was actually thinking of starting a thread - it’s a subject that needs its own...

    Walking to O Cebreiro from bus stop in Pedrafita do Cebreiro

    Hi chaucom I’d enjoy the ‘warm up’ the short walk will provide. Also a good feeling to have walked into O Cebrero. Buen camino. Wish I was there.

    Spanish language on Caminos outside of Spain

    Hi William I took the meaning of your post to assume that with both French and Spanish ; being romantic languages … there might be more chance of being understood in the parts of France that were nearer spain, if one who could not speak French .& tried to communicate in Spanish. I would have...

    Train question — Soto de Luiña to Novellana

    Hi Alison I’m itching to know what happened. ? The train must have arrived and left by now. This will be useless info for you, but for anyone in similar situation on this stretch of invierno - it may help. I was in a similar situation a few years ago when walking the Invierno stage ‘A Rua...

    Need Help / Advice on Accommodation in San Sebastian and Northern Route

    Hi there @unaharty First - I’m assuming you are checking the ‘Gronze’ site. @ other apps like Wise pilgrim … gronze shows the map and intermediary possibilities.. also gives indicative prices for accommodation - cuts down on the work. Next - I’ve stayed in San Sebastián in ‘room in the...

    14 June 2024: Luggage transfer and getting from SdeC to Sarria

    Have you booked your accommodation in Sarria for Saturday night ? If your flight has wheels down at 5pm Saturday, in Santiago ; I’d be more comfortable staying in Santiago that night close to the station (train and bus )… and catching transport to Sarria on Sunday … Your problem will...

    Advice for pre booking on the Le Puy please

    I agree with both Margaret & @amandurr Many of the places you’ll stay at, are not near food stops .. & with private kitchens (not for pilgrim use ). It is much easier to do the booking including the dinner etc at one time. Less complicated in my opinion. Rather than explain later that...

    Camino Finisterre in December

    Margaret @mspath I never tire of reading your tips and tricks. You give the reality of what to expect on a camino. ❤️ I’ve read your notes more than once ; as it places me virtually on Camino… a warm feeling. Even at home when going to sleep on winter nights / your words about ‘making a...

    How Camino starts..

    I hear you !! No fun … working around delays and connections. I’m flying from Oz to USA tomorrow and have had to spend hrs with my flight centre Angel getting me onto a flight leaving 8 hrs later that allows enough time for connecting flight. 🙏🙏. You can plan in detail but the airlines...

    Is 5 days in Finisterre a bad idea?

    Hi @JustJack I’m all for a nice rest before heading home too - especially as weather should be getting nice there. But you say that one of the reasons for the 5 day plan is that (private) accommodation in sdc is too expensive. Have you checked with San Martin Pinario ? The private single...

    Pilgrims from Ireland group?

    Hi You might contact @Kirkie from this forum. It is my understanding that there is a Camino Information Centre, situated in St James's church, Dublin. Kirkie has written in a previous thread: “There is a small side chapel, and some members come each time, other people are random. There is...
