    Alert Two reports of agressive dogs just after Oseira

    Yes thanks, you are right, I forgot to mention that.

    Alert Two reports of agressive dogs just after Oseira

    I have been reading 2 different reports (on FB and instagram) about (an) agressive dog(s) just after Oseira. I'll post them here: In the group of @geraldkelly on FB (4 days ago): Hello lovely Via de la Plata group! I had a very unpleasant experience with 3 aggressive dogs just after the...

    Backpack is 2 kg too heavy TwT

    Ah, and one more thing: are you going to walk the Francés? Then you really don't need to take 2 liters of water with you. There are so many villages on the way that 1 liter should normally be enough.

    Backpack is 2 kg too heavy TwT

    And this. For example: I will take 2 pairs of shorts. When I arrive at the albergue in number 1, I shower, wash, get into number 2, wash number 1, sleep in number 2, walk the next day in number 2, arrive, shower, get into number 1, wash number 2, etc. Most of your clothes double that way: the...

    Backpack is 2 kg too heavy TwT

    I can echo the others here. No rules, as long as you are comfortable with your pack it's fine. But if I were you, I would leave some clothes home. If I count well (all together, including what you are wearing): - 2 towels - 4 T-shirts - 1 longsleeve - 1 fleece - 1 wind jacket - 1 poncho - 2...

    The Galicia Pilgrim Rail Pass

    Has anyone tried this out this year already? I am mostly wondering how difficult it would be to get the last-minute train reservations. And also how it works if you use trains that you can't reserve. Can you then just hop on?

    Poles or No Poles?

    Maybe that has something to do with the average age of the regulars here? 🙈

    Poles or No Poles?

    Yes. Well, sort of. My first 10 years of Camino walking I never used them. I loved having nothing in my hands. Just a personal preference, I guess. Never missed them. When I got (a bit) older, I started to bring one pole for walking downhill. Last year I surrendered and walked for the first time...

    Route Napoleon closed (April 1, 2024) for a few days, due to weather

    Sounds like a wise decision. The snow line is still pretty low due to the wintery weather last week.

    It looks like a very lazy way of dating. They just pass by your house every day. 🤣

    Camino Dating

    I know a similar (very recent) story about Anna, the owner of albergue Aves de Paso on the Norte. She took that albergue over last year. A couple of months into her first season there was a spark between her and a pilgrim who stayed there. This second season they are running the albergue together. 😊

    Camino Dating

    That is also an interesting question, haha! I would add a couple of variants to 'partner' (friend, family member, inlaws...) and then ask if you arrived in Santiago with the same person/people you set out with... 😁

    LIVE from the Camino Conditions on Via de la Plata

    No, the weather is pretty bad everywhere in Spain. Here in Asturias 2 people where swallowed by the waves of the Cantabrian sea yesterday. One in San Esteban de Pravia and one in Cudillero. :-(

    Aaahhh, you should have voted for the 1st option! In the end you met on the Camino, right?

    Camino Dating

    Exactly. And if you like each other in sweaty pilgrims clothes, you don't have to worry much about what to wear anymore... 😁

    Camino Dating

    True. A Bumble kind of app could work. You could look for all kind of things: pilgrims to share a room with, pilgrims to walk with, fellow vegetarian pilgrims to have lunch of cook with, pilgrims to practice your Spanish (or any other language) with and well... if that app is there anyway, you...
