    Need help deciding where to go

    I’m in Villafranca de Los Barros and am feeling uninspired. The terrain has been the same for days and these towns have been sleepy. Please, I’m not complaining, I’m just reporting how I feel. I don’t want to continue walking just to walk. I am considering catching a bus or taxi to another town...

    Madrid early check-in

    I will be arriving in Madrid at 9am and will likely want to immediately rest because of the travel and time change. Can any of you recommend a place to stay that has an early check-in?

    Highlights of Via de la Plata

    I'll be walking the VdlP for the first time in a couple of weeks. Starting in Sevilla, hoping to make it to Cañaveral. Do you have any tips for me? Places to see, pilgrim's mass, albergues to stay in, history of the route... etc. I'd appreciate any comments you can leave! Robin

    Which route to avoid cold/wet in late March

    I have 16 days later this month to walk the camino. I've done this before so am not focused on reaching Santiago. I really love the quieter routes. My biggest concern is I don't want to be cold or wet. Suggestions?

    What is a pilgrim hospital?

    I know this question sounds silly but it’s been bugging me for a while. I keep on reading about towns that have what used to be a pilgrims hospital that are now museums, or used for other things. Are they meaning a hospital, as in the place where the sick are treated, or do they really mean...

    Best day to arrive in Santiago

    We have the choice to arrive in Santiago on a Sunday or a Monday. Which would be better? I ask because maybe there will be businesses closed on Sunday that we would like to have open. Robin

    Having a hard time adjusting to French route after Madrid route

    I finished the Madrid route a few days ago and now am walking towards Santiago on the French route. Honestly, I’m struggling with the change. I thought I would enjoy having more people around but the truth is although there are more people around, they don’t seem interested in striking up a...

    Videos from Madrid route

    Continuing on now that the heat wave has passed! I’m excited to travel to Valdestillas tomorrow and wondering if anyone else is on the Madrid route as well. I’ve had a couple of challenging segments with no places to stay in Ane or Coca, for different reasons. I’ve been posting videos on...

    Gronze.com

    Need to buy poles in Madrid

    Talon 33 vs Tempest 34.... help me decide, please

    Hey there! Last year I walked the Camino with my Mira 32 backpack by Osprey. I love the mesh back panel and side pockets but the pack seemed a little short and round for my liking. I'm now wanting to try out another backpack and am stuck between the Talon 33 and Tempest 34, in both their...
